In reality, this team had one decent stretch and has been pretty consistently shitty otherwise.

Those kenpom numbers, though....

Yeah, this.

This team doesn't deserve to be summed up mathematically, too inconstant. Team is a mess. Trying to judge their quality is pointless. 

Inconsistency is part of the deal. IMO the subjective can only be informed with objective information. Otherwise I might as well be posting on that Salute thing.
I just iNtuited that that's not true.

Yeah, and we've played 1,584 possessions of basketball this season. Its more than plenty to judge on mathematically.

I applaud your commitment to excellence.

Would be interested in a list of programs that have made it to the NCAA and the S16 75% of the time over the past 10 years.

Not KU, UK, UNC, Duke or UL.  Yard Dog is a liar though.

I went ahead and actually crunched the numbers. The following stats are for the NCAA tournaments from 2004 - 2014.

Over the course of those ten years there have been 74 different teams in the Sweet 16. Of those 74, only 18 have an appearance % of 40% or above.

Sweet 16 appearance % (2004-2014)

40%
Syracuse
Washington
Villanova
Memphis
UCLA
Tennessee

50%
Xavier
UCONN
Arizona
Louisville
West Virginia
North Carolina
Kentucky
Florida
Ohio State

60%

Oddly no one made it exactly 6 out of 10 times.

70%
KU
Duke
Michigan State

So perhaps my idealism of 75% was a little too high. But a 50-60% appearance rate doesn't seem all that unreasonable as a goal for an elite program.

2004-05 to 2013-14 is ten seasons worth of college basketball.  The last ten.  The first team I looked at, Duke, went 6 times.  The second team, UNC, also 6.  The third, KU, 6.  Then I stopped because you're a rough ridin' idiot.

Good thing you broke  that down. I did the 2004 tournament through the 2014 tournament to get the numbers I got. You are a rough riding idiot for being so Go Ram picky and ignorant.

Still going strong, who recruited these guys doe?  :dubious:

http://www.thesalutepodcast.com/wildcat-formation-right-way-edition/

What the heck kind of fantasy world do these guys come from?

Couldn't make it through one paragraph of the open letter. Cringe-worthy. The "right way" article was ridiculous as well.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Add Bob Lutz to the crowd who's now openly questioned the status of KSU bball under oscar (Weber, not Haertl). He spent about a segment's worth on it Wednesday, specifically mentioning Underwood as well.

Poisonous thoughts from goEMAW are infecting Lutz. Where will it end?

Yeah, you used 11 years and calculated your numbers as if you used 10.

I caught Yard Dog's error earlier but was too lazy to call him out on it (had nothing to do with the fact that he credited KU with an extra S16).  Just wanted to put it out there that I saw it first.

I missed the count when I did it admittedly. ( I was all dumb like, 14 minus 10 is 4 durrr, that must be ten years durrr. . my bad) Even if you eliminate that first year, the standard is set. 50-60% sweet 16 appearance rate per 10 years is elite. That is what I expect from our program. If our staff can't do that, get a new staff who can.

Personally I think that getting to the Sweet Sixteen 50% of the time is probably too aggressive of expectations.

Since oscar hasn't made it to the Sweet Sixteen since 2005 it is a moot point. :impatient:

someone take a screenshot of the GPC front page right now so that we can all remember that time Fitz put a pot reference as the title for a story.

i just want to clarify that i don't care that Fitz uses "Got 5 on it" as a story title (J-Mart used the exact same reference on the K-Stated blog), but i think it's funny because:

A. I'm not convinced Fitz really knows what that phrase references, and

B. Probably less than 10% of wabash understands the reference.

I think it's Bart Ray Gun that selected the headline.

Any word on what Foster and Malek were suspended for yet? Perhaps a thinly veiled reference to the guys getting caught blowing Js. Maybe even a subtle jab to the NCAA for keeping stud basketball players who make K-State tons of money, so poor that they can only afford to go quarters on $20 bags of skunk weed.

Probably not to all that tho.
