@stoptheflop for everyone but Houston

I don’t understand how Houston is kicking tail every game. Is Sampson a great recruiter, finding those gems Self and teams miss? Is he a great motivator, every game? Does he have a better all around staff for recruiting and teaching? -Their defense is physical and fouls aren’t called. They generally hit shots when it counts, either through talent or coaching.
- I was certain they would be an average team in the Big 12, but it turns out KU is the average team.
Kelvin Sampson is a very good basketball coach amd has been for 40+ years, that’s why. This is not his first go around in the Big 12. He did coach OU for 12 years and made 11 NCAA Tournaments and only finished outside the top 3 in the Big 8/12 twice, and never had a losing conference record. He also won a Big 12 regular season title, 3 tournament titles, and made a Final Four in 2002. The man has a career .684 winning percentage and is generally considered a top 5 active coach.

Connecticut is ripping Marquette.

Oklahoma has cooled down on there 3"s -wonder if we could hit one sometime

What the hell Kevin

Juan Finally

Kevin FINALLY

UK spanking Auburn

Wow Virginia beats WF in 1980s big East style of game while shooting 9% from the FT line
-
WOW , Ohio St taking it to Purdue right now. – Now it’s early right about 12 minutes to go in the 2nd half but Ohio St up 12- - -got this Dude name Battle just killin it from the three. – Ohio St defenders just like a bunch of pesky knats everttime they try to get Edey the ball
-
DOWN GOES PURDUE. – Interim Coach’s first win against the # 2 team in the Nation
-
Good for him!
-
Scott Drew gets T-d up for stepping across the coaching box line, but watch this and no technical was called on Willard. Watch where his foot is when the ball comes up to him.
-
The Purdue loss was super enjoyable for me.
-
Refs tried really hard to give Purdue a shot with the ft fest late

@wissox Oops, no link. Here it is. https://x.com/TheFieldOf68/status/1758995241858679271?s=20

@wissox I had no idea the coach could steal the ball. Gotta start watching out for Shaka when we play them, damn that 6th defender.

Edey gets insanely favorable treatment. Wish Hunter got it too LOL.
-
@wissox so what did they end up calling on that?
-
Wanna make sure I watch that Iowa State -Houston game tonight at 8:00 - -could be a dog fight. - -I’ve got Houston winning mainly cause they are at Houston. Iowa St got them at Ames - -just don’t think it’s happening in Houston
-
He gets fouled a ton but he’s getting a lot of benefits as well. It was pretty clear the ref’s wanted that game tight late which they got but Ohio State made their FT’s late to seal it
I don’t know why refs hate us this year as a whole but they do. Hunter/Kev/KJ don’t get nearly the favorable whistle others do
-
I’d really like to see AI applied to officiating… Not to remove the officials from the game, but to help drive consistency across the board. It wouldn’t be hard to build a model of plays (both with fouls and no-calls) and then have it show the likelihood that a play would be result in foul and on which player.
Imagine seeing contact on a play and the model references thousands of similar plays with similar contact and it shows on the screen that this was called a foul 87% of the time.
That would be instructional for the officials when they see which of their fouls are called the way they called it less than 25% of the time (that is, 75% of the time it is no call or called opposite). And it would hopefully eliminate some plays that are called differently 95% of the time… Like in this case, where a coach is off the bench, on the court during the game and grabs the ball in play… And then contrast that with a coach with one foot out of the box on the sideline getting a T or the shadow of a player’s heel over the line and the player is called out of bounds… Ridiculously inconsistent management of the game.
The goal would to be drive officiating toward norms.

@dylans Wiscy plays Maryland tomorrow, I’ll report back to how he behaves. Edit, check that, I’d like to watch but it’s on Peacock.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Maryland ball. No penalty for Willard believe it or not.
-
ISU on a pace for 20 pts for the game against Houston…6 pts after 12 minutes…
-
I swear Houston hacks and gets away with it.
-
We should’ve never lost to k-state

We have a few of those unfortunately
-
@bskeet And all a game’s total officiating stats could be aggregated into an index or coefficient so you could compare across games, seasons, teams, venues… I’d love to have that reported in box scores, etc Good idea!

My physical therapist (small shoulder injury) is an OU fan, she claims KU gets all the calls at home. I said that’s the home whistle that any team gets with a good crowd. - that was Friday. She cancelled our Wednesday appointment, I’m curious why. lol
-
@dylans I feel like the B12 refs got together and said we ain’t getting accused of being KU homers anymore. I feel like we don’t get crap for calls home or road at this point. I don’t have the metic or know where to get it but it seems like we shoot about 8 FTs less per game than opponents. Yet Hunter and Kevin get fouled often with no whistle

The funny thing is Hunter is getting fouled less (officially) and going to the line far less at Kansas than he was at Michigan. And BIG fans complain all the time about how the refs let too much go in that league which hurts them in the tournament where refs then start calling more fouls.
-
@BShark I’m with Self. The refs are allowing too much physicality in the Big12. Normally that would favor KU, but someone is going to get hurt.
-
Wow, UConn hasn’t beaten a ranked team on the road in 10 years. Makes you even more thankful for Billy Eugene
-
Marquette gets the revenge home game soon too.

Baylor loses to BYU. Tech wins by 1 against TCU.

They call for Cal’s head every time they lose. Crazy , Crazy game last night.

Since the start of 2020 season we have 103 wins and Kentucky has 75.

I like this stat a lot.
-
@BShark Me too, and there’s no asterisk with any of our wins.
-
I looked up the big 12 tourney bracket, as of yesterday, we have the 5th seed. Baylor and tt are tied w/us but have 3 and 4. Is that right? We would play at 11:30 wed. Of course, that could change and will. But if we stayed tied how does Baylor have the seed over us? Guessing they beat tech. Top 4 have byes.

So does a Houston loss or Baylor loss benefit KU the most? Or, does it even matter since there’s no difference between second and last in the league.
-
goes to show what kind of year it has been this year in College Basketball, – -Ranked teams have gotten beaten by un ranked teams 145 times this year

Baylor. KU is 2 games back of Houston amd tied with Baylor. I’m also very skeptical that KU can win a share because I don’t think they can win out with road games at Baylor and Houston left and KU is already a game back of ISU and I don’t see ISU losing again as BYU is their only tough game left and that’s at Hilton.
