UNI, Drake, Illinois State, WSU all interested in former Tokepa, KS star Rico Richardson, 6-0 PG at Chicago Bogan.

I think Rico's dad raped swish1's grandma or something.   He's obviously going to play somewhere.

I also think that +/- is total garbage. It varies so wildly from game to game that you don't really get a measure of anyone. It's especially stupid for college games when there are players who play virtually the entire game. Clems and Pulls, for example, are going to have + games when we win and - games when we lose. Also, think about what a situation like the last minute of the @ISU game...ISU had stopped playing basketball for all intents and purposes and was literally just running down the court and taking ugly three point shots that happened to be falling in. Anyone on our team who was in the game at that point would have really suffered in the +/- stat through really no fault of their own.

So, it's 5 AM and I just typed all that out, I realize it says nothing, but I'm gonna post it anyway...because I typed it.

Look at RR, instead.  It compares time on to time off - it shows a big dropoff when Pullen leaves the game against ISU, for example - he dominates RR.  And I agree they do more w/ it in the NBA (especially player combo RR), and that it is better as a cumulative stat than game-by-game.  But your point about +/- not being fair if you're on the court when the other team starts bombing 3's is total garbage.  The players on the court could have prevented what ISU was doing.

No stat by itself is perfect (except maybe team offensive and defensive efficiency), but to deny this as a useful and/or interesting stat is pretty dumb IMO.

By cheap, I'm pretty much thinking under $100.

waiting for clams' ideas.

i'm a hoop shoe purist myself.  at that price, I'd probably go with these and sport the kazzu af1's.

In all seriousness, that is perfect. 
pickyourshoes is a good site, Bossi recommended it to me a while back.  I actually just came across those shoes this morning and mental noted them, so it was odd you started this thread on the same day.

will they be bad for my feet?

Need to know your "game" first.

I play sagging, help style defense.  On offense, generally get guarded by a big guy, but float the perimeter to keep them out of the lane and crash boards hard when they sleep.  So, my offense is mostly raining 3's and putbacks.

Too bad about Steve & Barry's, huh?

I know.  STARBURY'S!

So-Long's potato salad gave me hives.  I think it was the mustard they used.

Too bad, I really liked it.

keep in mind, I am very cheap.

@KU, @OU, and @TT are all legitimate loss possibilities. 

+ mu at home.

agreed.

OU's 3 McDAA's worry more than any defense they might play.

Would be extremely disappointing to finish anything less than 11-5.
I'm kind of putting the anchor at 12-4.


You should be happy w/ 10-6.

wouldn't be devastated w/ 10-6.  definitely not happy though
I'd be devistated. I see 2 games we are in legitimate danger of losing... I will admit I'm prone to overreacting, though.

@KU, @OU, and @TT are all legitimate loss possibilities.

This got me to thinking about the best coach in college basketball (that’s only a small exaggeration), Todd Bozeman.

Frank Martin may have given me a little more hope following ISU's loss on Saturday. However, not enough, fire Mac.

Yeah, elite coaches love guys like Mac.  Pretty much part of the SLTH handbook.
