Still no highlights. Why did AAC sign on the line with CBS Sports, that barely qualifies as televised
 
Wow how'd you dig that up? Gobearcats website itself is blank. Just a photo gallery

Also, wow, that's really the only part of the game worth watching, ha

I subscribe to GoBearcats on YouTube. They have tons of videos there for every sport.
 
This is only one game worth of data...but it's interesting to look at the +/-and I wish I had the data for the whole year to draw conclusions from. However, when KJ was in with the other 4 starters the team was -1...when Cumberland was in with them we were +19.

A lot of this can obviously come down to timing...maybe the team just was making more shots at the right time. But it's not as simple as looking at the PPG for each player on the road...you have to look at the overall impact on the team. This is likely somewhat of an anomaly but I wouldn't be surprised to see the +/- stack up better for Cumberland than KJ with the starters overall.

I don't think we are going to see a change in the starting lineup...but I also don't think coach should ignore stats like +/-...and maybe he isn't. Maybe overall KJ has been better IDK. If there is a significant difference maybe instead of starting Cumberland we just bring him in sooner and for longer. This way we keep KJ's confidence up and we benefit as a team.
+/- can be VERY noisy even over somewhat large sample sizes. But it does have uses.

However in KJ's defense, he gets used in end of game substitutions as a defensive specialist whereas Kyle gets more offensive possessions. As a result, Kyle's was slightly inflated, and KJ's was somewhat worse than reality.


Also this WP graph is pretty fun to look at

Good point. They would be skewed a bit at the end of close games. Of course when you get subbed in you don't come out until the next stoppage of play...So you will be on Offense and defense except very late game fouls when you can keep changing it up.

Obviously we were plus 13 or so for the last 6 minutes. Not sure how much time each played in that span.

"What comes up, doesn't necessarily come down..."
Hahahahaha. My 9 yo was asking what that meant. I didn't have an answer.

Excellent points. Saved me the trouble of having to point out the noisiness of +/- in general, as well as the benefit Kyle received from being subbed out on defense.
