Dunno who will win it, but I wouldn't trade LaNorris Sellers for anyone mentioned in this thread.
I’m not a South Carolina fan, but I think I agree with this. Redshirt freshman year, he had 65.6% completion rate, 2534 passing yards, 18 TDS, 7 INTs, 674 yds rushing on 116 carries … and missed what, a game and half to injury. That is fantastic for a freshman, and his QBR was much better the second half of the season as he gained experience. He could make big strides as a year two starter.
re: I'd still take Pat Summit over Geno.

Summit is the more important figure historically because of everything she did to help grow the game when it was basically nonexistent. Auriemma is the better coach. 12 titles speaks for itself, and he was 4-0 in title games against Summit.
And I believe Geno has 12 additional Final Four appearances, on top of the of the 12 titles.

Nah. We weren't making any shots. Not just threes. We even missed uncontested dunks. Just a bad shooting night all around. Seems they took too much away from the BYU game. Is what it is. I'm fine making the elite 8 and getting bounced by the team that will probably win it all.
You scored .75 pts per position when you shot a three.
You scored .9 pts per position when you shot a two (not including more free throw attempts that would have been created).
This does not factor in offensive rebounds.
The math says Alabama died by the three last night.
re: Die by the Three
Posted by 195bc on 3/30/25 at 9:43 am
Alabama shot about 30 threes per game this year. That’s the most by any Sweet 16 team.
Last night night, they shot 25% from three, on 32 attempts.
Yet last night they shot 45% from two.
Last night they shot 79% from the stripe, but only attempted 14 free throws.
Did they die by the three last night … probably. At the very least, it could have been closer without 32 three point attempts.

Another interesting stat…
Avg. Margin in Games against other Sweet 16 teams:
+10.5 Michigan St.
+8.4 Florida
+7.5 Houston
+6.2 Auburn
+5.0 Duke
0.0 Alabama
-0.2 Texas Tech
-0.4 Purdue
-0.7 Tennessee

-1.7 Ole Miss
-2.1 Arizona
-5.1 Arkansas
-5.6 Michigan
-6.0 Kentucky
-12.8 BYU
Once again, BYU sticks out as the outlier here.
I don’t completely disagree, but BYU, Arkansas, and Michigan, for example, came into the tournament playing their best ball of the year.

Posted on 2/23/25 at 6:53 pm to 195bc Everybody in the nation but LSU can pull upsets. If you kept up with college baskeltball you would know that. As I said before, other than Alabama and Auburn which I never criticized, the rest of the SEC is 1-1 against the top teams. Instead of just mouthing off, show up here and post again when the SEC folds like a cheap lawn chair in the NCAA tourney like usual.

Hey dumbass, you’re unsurprisingly wrong. I know you don’t know what math is, but the SEC makes up 43.8% of the Sweet 16, which is a record. Like I said, and others said, the SEC’s non-conference record, top to bottom, against ranked opponents was phenomenal. And the remaining SEC teams are 6-2 this year against the remaining non-SEC teams, including a 3-1 record against the other #1 seeds (Houston and Duke).

re: NCAA tourney related to the SEC will be very interesting

Dumb post. The SEC has crushed non-conference currently ranked opponents. Even the SEC bubble teams such as Arkansas and OU have impressive non-conference records/wins.
re: SEC All Time football Coaches
Posted by 195bc on 2/20/25 at 9:41 am
Meyer to high. He only coached in the SEC for six seasons. Smart too low. His stats are easily better than Meyer's and probably deserves be a few spots higher. If Smart puts in a few more years and continues to compete for titles, he probably should be #3.
re: National Title TV Ratings

22.1 million viewers.
Extremely low rating compared to expectations.
Since the BCS National Title Game initiated in 1998, this comes in as the 23rd highest rated out of 27 televised title games.
The only title games with fewer viewers:
21.6 million, 2001 Miami vs Nebraska
21.4 million, 2004 USC vs Oklahoma
18.6 million, 2020 Alabama vs Ohio St
17.2 million, 2022 Georgia vs TCU
Somewhat interesting and concerning that some many of the lowest rated games have come since 2020.

Just to drive viewers, talk about something shocking, blah, blah, blah.
I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but the current SEC schools have, what, 17 college football championships since the BCS era started, including four of the last six (through three different teams)
Big Ten - 5
ACC - 5
Big 12 - 0

The original post was talking about this century. How many programs have more football success since 2000? And how many have more success that have a fraction of A&M’s resources, fanbase, and recruiting base? For all your advantages, you have really low standards.

You are one of the lucky ones with that type of personality to get out without it destroying your life.
You make some good points. I read an article not long about the increasing problem of compulsive gambling. The article used Australia as an example, which has the highest gambling rate in the world. 50% of adults there gamble weekly, with a majority being men. The average gambler in Australia (50+% of all adults) lost $871 last year - that's gambling losses of $18.3 BILLION for a country with a population not much larger than Florida.
