Someone must have got in his ear. He's backing off that all the sudden :-) [Reply]

Gotta disagree. And granted it is subjective, but I am about as homer as it gets and I can't sit here and say the AFH factor isn't materially better than Rupp or Cameron for sure. And not all that much better than several others.
Hell look at Morgantown. That place allows a team to play a type of basketball that isn't possible anywhere else. Look at WVU home/away record every year. [Reply]
I'd have no idea where to start. Once again, a stat like the one you described would not prove that AFH's advantage isn't more than other buildings anyway. [Reply]

Sure, but that still doesn't change what I said. Devonte Graham is one of the best players in the country this season. Replacing him with Trae Young with this group of soft players accomplishes very little. [Reply]

Probably just a bad game, but 3s can be defended if everyone in the country knows that's all you can do.
Without more big man help, this team is doomed. They can't come out and shoot like they did against Texas night in and night out.
Plus the fact we don't defend worth a shit is another major issue! [Reply]

I think the 12 losses speak for themselves, but there's really no way to properly do this. [Reply]

Why wouldn't it? If Team A has a much higher foul disparity than the other getting way more calls at home, one can infer that it is directly related to how referees ref during the home atmosphere. [Reply]
