    Mouser the new OC

    Its always nice to see some "new blood" with Campbell, as it happens so rarely, and Roehl seems like a great fit - a guy who has won a TON at NDSU and called some really prolific offenses

    *** Official West Virginia vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Freshman hitting a hump in February, especially when playing as many minutes as he has, is entirely usual. You see it on the women's side with Addy as well. He just needs to work through it and keep shooting. You can see him trying more things the last couple games, with drives into the paint...

    *** Official West Virginia vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    The analytic sites seem to have a consensus around 19-20 points, so the line is underplaying that a bit, understandably so, predicting 20 point wins in conference games is a bit crazy. But the average margin of WVU's 6 road games is 19.5, so it's entirely realistic. And the 30+ point beatdowns...

    Is it something that automatically triggers in people where we get a Top 10 ranking and they feel the powerful urge to doomcast about next year's team and players leaving?

    We have a pretty good dataset for conference play now - and in conference only games, 5 different players have taken 30+ threes. Here's the current conference game percentages: Gilbert - 39% King - 37% Jones - 36% Milan - 29% Lipsey - 25% Tre was 1-6 from deep in the non-conf, and is 11-30 in...

    For a team that is as bad or worse at FT shooting than us - him going 11-12 when the game was on the line was everything

    very impressed with the effort last night. Houston blows people out at home because no one else comes back after that initial gut punch. They fought and scratched and clawed the whole game, but in the end Shead had a great game and that was that. In a lot of ways it was just a reversal of...

    It's the inconsistency that bothers me more. Where Lipsey gets hacked in the lane on one end, and then Cryer loses the ball with almost no contact and gets the call. I have no problem allowing a physical game if they could call it consistently.

    One of the "analytics guys", Evan Miyakawa, tracks 10-0 runs as "kill shots" - something Houston specializes in at home:

    Looking at their game logs - I was surprised to see that over their last 5 games, Houston has not gotten a "friendly whistle". They've been called for 18+ fouls a game vs 15 for their opponents, and have been outshot from the FT line 23+ to 16. Also looking at what makes them so tough at...

    I said this in another thread- but it bears repeating. In Ames we forced 16 turnovers and turned it over 12 times - but the points off turnovers we won 17-6. The 16 turnovers is the most Houston has had on the season by far - they had 12 in one scrub non-conference game and in conference play...

    ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

    This is the crazy thing about Houston that makes their analytics off the charts - they are top 10 in offensive potential points from Steals and Offensive Rebounds. PLUS they are Top 10 in defensively limiting points from steals and opponents offensive rebounds. Usually a team that offensively...

    ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

    Couple things about that first game - starting with, how the **** did we beat Houston shooting 3-15 from deep?!? We forced Houston into 16 turnovers - their high on the season by a long ways. They haven't had more than 10 in any other Big XII game - including only 3 in their loss in Lawrence...

    The one thing I can see is that the currently projected 6-seeds are much scarier than the currently projected 7-seeds

    Tech Preview: They are currently 23rd in KenPom - 13th on offense and 67th on defense Offensively they are really hot - shooting 40% from deep in conference games and 76+% from the FT line. They aren't dominate in any other metrics, they don't get to the rim a lot, they are a just okay...

    Oooh, that's a very good comp. They are very similar in size - Tamin might be an inch taller - and I think Tamin is better in every statistical category as a Soph than FVV was as a senior - except FT%.
