Got to remember Bama getting shelled by 24 at 12-9 Oklahoma a week ago. Bama is definitely a good team, but maybe a bit more flawed than some of the other models recognize.I like UK at #23 (for the moment) and Bama is way too low at #16 as I believe they are #1.
Good work Aike.
Aike uses data. Your "belief" is based on what again? That Taco Bell dinner?I like UK at #23 (for the moment) and Bama is way too low at #16 as I believe they are #1.
Good work Aike.
Lots of people use data incorrectly. Bama is much better than 16. You don't need to be Ken Pomroy to acknowledge that.Aike uses data. Your "belief" is based on what again? That Taco Bell dinner?
They'll shoot themselves out of a big game when it matters most.Got to remember Bama getting shelled by 24 at 12-9 Oklahoma a week ago. Bama is definitely a good team, but maybe a bit more flawed than some of the other models recognize.
Who isn’t, though? Every team this year has bad losses. Bama is a top 5 team based on any metric, and probably even higherGot to remember Bama getting shelled by 24 at 12-9 Oklahoma a week ago. Bama is definitely a good team, but maybe a bit more flawed than some of the other models recognize.
Not by my metric, which is specific to the NCAA Tournament. Does my metric have to be wrong if it doesn’t agree with all others?Who isn’t, though? Every team this year has bad losses. Bama is a top 5 team based on any metric, and probably even higher
It isn’t a ranking. It isn’t saying they’ve had the 16th best season. It’s predicting how they will do in the tournament based on how they play and how teams who play like them have done in the past.Lots of people use data incorrectly. Bama is much better than 16.

As usual, it's greatly appreciated Aike.
No. I like your metric. My opinion is that they have solidified theirselves, and statistics point them to undeniably be in an elite category. One of the few teams to have done thatNot by my metric, which is specific to the NCAA Tournament. Does my metric have to be wrong if it doesn’t agree with all others?
But not all statistics…that’s kind of my point. My model uses statistics too. Not everyone is looking at exactly the same things, so not everyone comes up with exactly the same answers.No. I like your metric.

I think they are ripe for the picking, honestly. They’ve slipped these past few weeks.I know Tennessee defense is really good, but they are bad offensively and combine a bad offense with Barnes and I just can’t see them making a run
In 8 weeks UCONN has dropped from 3.48 to 2.28. Pretty steep drop.@Aike thanks for the data
I think Bama's average shows what we all know, one cold night and they're history in the tournament.
Your model is still really high on UConn which surprises me, thought they were overrated early and finally got shown to be who they are
I watch them a lot and their offense looks worse every time, you take away vescovi and they really struggleI think they are ripe for the picking, honestly. They’ve slipped these past few weeks.

Have finally put him on ignore a feature I rarely ever ever use. Just can’t take his post any longer and his over the top statements on every subject matter. Not to mention his 6-8 new threads started daily which are also always over the top. Also fairly certain he’s not even a UK fan, just an over the top poser which I certainly don’t understand the point.Aike uses data. Your "belief" is based on what again? That Taco Bell dinner?
Totally get it but 16 considering who they've beat and how bad they've massacred some decent and bad teams? Again, there may be nothing wrong with your mathematics but it looks like you are focusing on the wrong metrics.It isn’t a ranking. It isn’t saying they’ve had the 16th best season. It’s predicting how they will do in the tournament based on how they play and how teams who play like them have done in the past.
There’s nothing “incorrect” about my data usage. This is as mathematically sound as any other model you’ll find. Would be kind of boring if they all agreed across the board. Wouldn’t really need more than one model if that were the case.
It’s going to be a crazy conference tournament week and ncaa tourney, there isn’t one team that I fully trust, everybody has weaknesses, which will make the tournament more funThey’ve dropped from 3.57 to 2.83 in a month.
This is shaping up to be quite a tournament with so much weakness up top.
Thank you for your wise counselTotally get it but 16 considering who they've beat and how bad they've massacred some decent and bad teams? Again, there may be nothing wrong with your mathematics but it looks like you are focusing on the wrong metrics.
No problem. Sometimes folks get too invested in their product and miss the captain obvious stuff.Thank you for your wise counsel
You really are that guy, aren’t you? Been doing this for 5 years. Holds up very well. Nothing is perfect but I’ll take it over your random internet opinion 7 days out of 7.No problem. Sometimes folks get too invested in their product and miss the captain obvious stuff.
So you're saying the model says there are 15 teams who would finish ahead of Bama if the tournament was held today (including dogshit Arkansas) and I should mindlessly agree because you've been doing it for 5 years? Doesnt matter what common sense says - the aike data model has spoken. Talk about being that guy.You really are that guy, aren’t you? Been doing this for 5 years. Holds up very well.

Actually isn’t what I’m saying. Sorry you don’t understand. I don’t need tips or anything else from you.So you're saying the model says there are 15 teams who would finish ahead of Bama if the tournament was held today and I should mindlessly agree because you've doing it for 5 years?

Pro tip, if your desire is to not be questioned, a message board is the wrong place to flex.
does this.mean Bama gets beat in the sweet 16 and UK loses 2nd round?It isn’t a ranking. It isn’t saying they’ve had the 16th best season. It’s predicting how they will do in the tournament based on how they play and how teams who play like them have done in the past.

If you're not saying 15 other teams would beat Bama in the tournament and instead 15 teams have had better seasons, how does that predict tournament success? Also, do you think any sane person who has watched college basketball this year would agree that Arkansas has had a better season thus far?Actually isn’t what I’m saying. Sorry you don’t understand. I don’t need tips or anything else from you.
And I don’t care if you agree or not. But the whole “you’re looking at the wrong metrics” is you just being a jerk. If you really don’t understand that then I can’t help you. Either way, you’re no one that want to have a conversation with.
I’m waiting for Crums model. I think this may be a really hard year to fill out a bracketThank you for your wise counsel

I let the folks who are good at pulling/quantifying data do their thing and build the models. I come in to read the results and make informed business decisions. Been pretty successful.I’m waiting for Crums model. I think this may be a really hard year to fill out a bracket
