Really nice win. The offense in the first half was really good, they couldn't defend with man or zone. Defense was equally impressive, it was fun watching Frank's funnel to the basket to get swatted defense work to perfection against MU's little guards.

[sys]

would have been nice to foul less.  they did well with opp ftr against howard and ku.  if they can limit that (compared to previous years) while maintaining the aggression, they can really be good.

[kso_FAN]

Also, Frank's 6th win over a Top 10 team.

[_33]

Seemed like MU gave up the high post and middle of the lane really easily. Like, we shot there all day.

[sys]

well.  mr. pomeroy's computer liked today's win.  16 overall and 9th defensively.

[Panjandrum]

Also, Frank's 6th win over a Top 10 team.

3rd win over a team that came into conference play undefeated.

It would be nice to foul less, but not too big of a deal to me. The benefits of playing that style of defense (eFG% and TO% for MU) is probably going to put your into situations where you foul. Plus its a sign we were playing agressive, unlike our soft performance in Lawrence. Granted, it could get us in trouble on the road.

Where does kenpom have our chances of beating Baylor?

61%.  i think it was like 53% or so prior to the mu game.  something like that.  maybe 47%.

Oh man Cats 10-1 with the Hawks coming into the OOD

without the FTR the first half would have been as close to a perfect defensive performance as i have seen.  Samuels and Henriquez were disciplined maintaining help relationship resulting in dominating team performance in the points-in-the-paint category.     i guess a positive from the poor FTR is that we might not be able to foul them more on the road than we did at home.

Hopefully they would also be 10-1. It would feel like the game was for all the marbles if that were the case.

Wow. Let's destroy Baylor.

Speaking of advanced stats, kenpom's explanation of Wisconsin at #2 in his system is entertaining.

Do you have any idea how angered up I would be if we lose to MU by 1 point?

[mcmwcat]

If you are going to trash the entire system based on the biggest outlier over the last six years, I suspect you had no desire to use the system in the first place. Either that, or your team is ranked lower than you think it should be.

get'em kenneth

Q. When are you going to fix this?

First off, I’m not sure it can be fixed. I mean, sure I can fix it so Wisconsin is ranked more reasonably. I could add some code to my algorithm like this…

if Wisconsin:
   do something to fix Wisconsin
else:
   do normal calculations

heh

[CNS]

Love his defense in using an If/Then statement.

[8manpick]

Part of me can't wait until Wiscy goes to the final four, letting KenPem clownsuit everyone.  The other part of me remembers my tears on March 19, 2011.
