A Non-Zero Chance

Post by up7587 on Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:47 pm

THIS is an interesting analysis of the odds for winning the WCC regular season. From Ken Pomeroy.

And HERE he projects us to finish 20-9, with two more close losses. We'll see.

We aren't quite masters of our own destiny but I think that if we win out we would be a lock to at least TIE for first (with a 12-2 record).

It wouldn't be the easiest thing to do and we'd have to play VERY well to win @ GU and vs. SMC. I think we can do it though. Thursday night could be huge! And yes, I think we can win without Nik. I just think it will be harder.

Jasonn Hannibal is a "significant contributor?"

Interesting way to look at it.

I wondered about the comment on T.J., "at least he's starting now." When wasn't he starting???

I think the site is VERY confused about Pilot Basketball. It makes you think they haven't watched a game yet.


It's up to the team to make them actually learn about these guys. Nobody doesn't know about the Kansas or Duke players.

The problem with Pomeroy is that he makes absolutely everything into mathematical analysis, and he predicts no upsets because of this. All wins and losses are just based on past performances. BOOORING.

What I know about Kansas: Cole Aldrich is a big white guy. He's pretty good. Sherron Collins got his picture in the paper today so he must be good.

Duke: Kyle Singler went to South Medford. He must be good at basketball if Duke recruited him. Their coach has a funny name.

Outside the WCC I don't know much and I really don't care much either.

I know that the Pac-10 is awful and that this team is too afraid to play us.
