Georgetown Biorhythms: Note the 5 pm Start in Chapel Hill

Oh, he definitely committed a careless foul and I have no problem with the call since it was too late to call a common and too careless to let go. I'm just not sure about intent.

He lashed out. Should have had his ass kicked and then kicked out of the game to boot.

Or had his ass kicked and left in the game. I like going after a weakened opponent...

Yeah it was clearly a Grayson Allen, Filipowski type move. Lashing out from frustration, but just artfully enough to try to be justifiable or gray area for the refs. Cadeau used to do sneaky shit like that too.

Typical fans whine when it happens to their teams and turns the blind eye or excuses it when their team does it.

It wasn't the dumbest thing he ever said although he said it poorly. The guy called for the foul had his feet well up in the air and the way he had rolled back and then forward, his vision could have been blocked. I get what he's saying because I think he got called for the flagrant because it was too late to call the common which is what I thought it was. I honestly don't think that the guy could see well enough to do it intentionally.

Not sure either way, but him only bringing one foot down much faster than the other made it questionable.

But still, he had to put his feet on the floor to get up, was silly, especially in the context of saying it could go either way.

You probably made a better argument, though intention doesn't matter.

But honestly, Cory did a much better job, he wasn't nearly as annoying as normal.

True for most fans.

I don't like that kind of play, it can hurt someone. Now I don't know this kid, maybe it was frustration or not paying attention or maybe he's DisGrayson Allen?

I didn't like the way Cadeau sometimes did things like this, but I don't recall him getting to the point of tripping anyone.

 

[C-Money]

Did you hear Cory talking about how he had to put his feet on the ground to get up? Really, what a stupid take.

I never listen to him call games. He spends more time talking about everything else besides the game and is a huge name dropper.

That's what was surpassing, I didn't hear him say "my boy" once. He really did much better. I wonder if someone coached him.

I can't remember a UNC player who so clearly and obviously and desperately wants to win games as much as Veesar does.

Ken Pom has 7-3 kansas and 5-4 Kensucky ranked ahead of us despite us beating both of them.

At this point in the season, the "historic performance" (how said team has done over the last few seasons) & "player evaluation" (how he projects individual players to perform) portions of the KenPom's formula are still pretty strong, since we're less than a third of the way through the season.

To see how his formula perceives the actual performance of the team at this juncture, you really need to look at how he rates/ranks each team compared to the beginning of the season. Here are those comparisons for the 3 teams you mention:

	Beginning Rating	Beginning Rank	Current Rating	Current Rank	Rating Change	Rank Change
Kentucky	28.95	4th	22.09	20th	-6.86	-16
Kansas	21.45	21st	23.96	17th	+2.51	+4
North Carolina	19.24	33rd	21.48	22nd	+2.24	+11

What we can take from this is that Kansas is a good team and has played like it (on the whole). We're a better team than KenPom estimated in the preseason and we're moving up because of it. Kentucky has not shown to be a good team and they're failing fairly rapidly because of it.

Several months ago I subscribed to Ken Pom
I don't even look anymore Because I am too dumb to understand it
I get it that is a "me "problem

Even if you don't go in-depth into the ratings/rankings, it's still a good source of info. One of the best things from the site is before each game to look at our team page to see how much we're favored (or not favored) against each opponent. And the FanMatch page is a good summation of the games for each day and how his model predicts they'll go.

For a $25(?) annual fee, it's a pretty good deal even if you only use the most basic parts of the site.
