Biorhythms for Carolina @Virginia: Post-Game Discussion

[Calheel]

You mean if only UNC had won 2 of those 3, right?

Yes. We should have won 3, but the wolves would have been pretty silent if we were 18-2 and top 10 in the country.

But dropping all three (plus the terrible second half against Wake) got the internet hordes back into overdrive.

 

[Centerpiece]

Shit happens.

Actually, I’ll retract that statement.
Cal is indeed top 50 team in RPI
Playing them at their place was more difficult.

I’ll guess that if we see SMU, Cal or Stanford in the ACCT we beat them.

The odds of winning all 3 of those road games was under 50% so saying they should have won all 3 is not accurate.

Suffice to say we need to curbstomp Tech.

Or at least beat them.

Because Tech is so low in the rankings, NET and such, it needs to be a beat down. A solid double digit W blowing the doors off the spread. Anything less and the wolves will stick another paw through door and into the kitchen.

No. That totally ignores defense. It ignores strength of schedule as it relates to rebounding and turnovers. It also ignores rebounding percentages.

It shows Carolina will have a better chance in March than Alabama, Vanderbilt, and Kansas.

It shows that Tulsa, Santa Clara, Utah St, and George Washington will have a better chance in March than Carolina. High Point is in the top right quadrant.

kenpom has Carolina by 9. barttorvik has Carolina by 8.2. A blowout would be great, but a solid double digit win should suffice to improve Carolina's NET.

How are UNC's rebounding percentages/rebounding?

Yes, in a pure statistical analysis, you are correct. But in internet hordes math, you are incorrect.

Nick Bateman cbbguru doesn't really know what he’s talking about, but he makes cool charts.
