    Palm is really, really bad at this (and bowl projections). Data backs this up. Wish more people would ignore him.

    What would cause TJ to move?

    Michigan pays Howard $3.2 million compared to TJ at $2.5 million this year which increases to $3 million in July. We can easily hang with them. Plus, Howard was national coach of the year, had a #1 seed and an Elite 8 and Sweet 16 appearance in the last 3 years. And they might fire him this...

    What would cause TJ to move?

    Bigger question is what does Michigan offer that Iowa State doesn’t? Iowa State is more patient, in a better conference, more dedicated to basketball, doesn’t fire their coaches 2 years after a 23-5 season, and with TJ’s upcoming raise will be as competitive salary-wise as Michigan.

    I understand the basics of how it works. I’m saying it’s dumb to rely only on metrics. End results should matter more than what a computer thinks you should win by. Should we add “cover the spread” as a metric? Most people would say no. I get that metrics aren’t the only thing used but people...

    We won by 7 and dropped 4 spots. They lost by 25 and dropped 1 spot. I’m going to add Auburn to my WTF list now too. #7 in Net and #5 in KenPom with a 1-6 Quad 1 record. Iowa has more Q1 wins than Auburn. Metrics love offense and Q2 victories I guess…

    No idea how or why but they seem insulated because of their offensive numbers. They are 2-6 (soon to be 2-7) in Q1 games. I guess the computers really like their 7-1 Q2 record. If you compare their Q1/2 record (9-8 assuming they lose to Kentucky) to ours (9-6) AND we have less losses, I have...

    We fell 4 spots in KenPom so the computers didn’t love that game either.

    We fell 4 spots in KenPom. Seems drastic but shows you how sensitive the model is.

    We look like we know we are favored by 18 and can know we can f around. Hope we don’t find out.

    Instead of being efficient, we are in “need to look flashy” mode.
