What a sad day when a poster can get banned for having a dissenting opinion. Not for personally attacking anyone but simply for having a different opinion and defending it against others uncensored ability to question it.

This is a huge fail Jacob

RIP NTS

If there's a reason to want to be ranked in KenPom's top 50 offense and defense, other than it obviously means your team is good, since 2002 ( when KenPom data dates back to) the eventual National Champion HAS always ranked in the top 40 of both AdjO and AdjD. If a team is ranked 22-39 in one, they HAVE to be top ten in the other.

Sounds confusing, but it's true.

Looks like it's going to be between KY, WV, Zags, Vill, VA, NC, Kan, Bay, Wisc, Duke, and FLA.

Nobody has ever been banned for "simply having a different opinion"

It's trolling. Especially considering he had just received a warning to tone down the baiting posts. He wasn't the only one who received an Infraction. And it was a unanimous moderator vote. Report the posts or use your Ignore List. If you can't Report on mobile, then PM a mod. The threads aren't going to crap like last night. The people most responsible for it are being held accountable. But it's over now. It is what it is.

will you be publicly posting the minutes from your moderator parliamentary session?

So basically top 21 in both (9 teams qualify)

Top 10 in one and under 40 in the other. (2 more teams Duke, Kansas)

This doesn't warrant a legitimate response. NTS trolled everyone on this site who has a different opinion of the team / coach than he does.

The mods absolutely made the right choice - and I doubt if it was a difficult one.

It's fine to have a differing view. It's not ok to constantly, relentlessly attack our coach - even after a win and refer to anyone who doesn't feel the same as "bootlickers". Also, I'm sure it's not just a few posts from yesterday that got him banned - it likely was his entire body of work that reflected these same themes - and it is a substantial body of work.

The site just got a little better today imo.

Respectfully disagree. What he does on here is not distention.

As of now, yes. I'd wait until the tourney starts though so teams can move up and or down.

Another stat to make it more interesting was to add " and a guard projected to be drafted" since guard play usually dominates tourney, I think.

All the constant Cronin-bashers seem to stick together.

I enjoyed NTS's statistical updates in the Around the Country/AAC threads, but the constant drama-starting was tiresome. Took me years to finally start ignoring it.

 

[TNBearcat3]

15-2, #20, top of the AAC. Whether you like Mick or not, team is in a good spot and still have a lot of room to get better, let's enjoy the process that is the season.

In the real world, when the owner of the bar is finally so sick of someone, they show you the door. It's a good system

 

[GarradJ21]

Happy to see what has happened
Let's move on from this ugly game. It happens multiple times a year to many teams. You win and move on.

Jesus this thread is a giant cluster. Haven't read it all, but I've read enough.

1. 15-2 is pretty, pretttay, pretttay good. Really setting the team up for a solid resume and seed.

2. ECU is even worse than I thought. Good lord are they bad or what. I'd rather watch 5th grade girls b-ball than ECU play vs a random D1 team. That team is just abysmal.

3. Our defense might be getting even better and have a ceiling we've not hit yet. I really think they can get even better with a few more games of M2Man.

4. Our offense is so weird. I do think it's our most talented/skilled offensive team in Mick's tenure but we're the definition of "meh.". Lot of areas to get better in, but outside of the nights the team just gets hot from 3 (like the SMU game) we're always gonna have stretches where we struggle to get good looks and score. I haven't been able to find it for CBB, but in the NBA they track #of shots that count as wide open (No defender within 6feet). My eyes swear we have to be pretty bad in this department, but without the data it's hard to know.

5. All the talk about any team being "SW 16" or E8 or F4 contender is mostly hot air. Luck plays such a large role in the tournament that pretty average teams are more than capable of making the SW16 or further with the right draw and a few lucky bounces.


6. I can still be a die-hard fan and be disappointed in the team's performance @ECU, think a lot has to improve, be excited with what the team has accomplished, and not think the offense will improve. None of these are mutually exclusive.

Ugly game. Move forward, take the W and don't look back. Need to get Evans back on track. He seems to be tense out there. Nervous for the scouts maybe? One positive may be by playing a good shot blocker, we have some experience for UCF. Last year we handled Fall fine, he did disrupt us some but didn't play a lot of minutes. It did seem the whole team just about was tired. Wonder if more than Troy is under the weather.
