UConn -4

[HeGotGame]

No surprise, right in line with Kenpom

I think the team plays very well tomorrow.....

 

[TeasenDonut]

A sweep this week would make up for a lot of losses.

If I remember correctly, Marquette made a bunch of difficult two pointers…several bank shots last game. Hopefully we get a Little luckier in that regard tonight

Per the BY no one can shoot at the XL Center so expect lucky shots to fall.

You are correct. Not only them but other teams were making these acrobatic bank shots. I was stunned how they work the backboard. Definitely wasn't your run of the mill layups.

According to KenPom, UConn ranks 309 in “luck.” It’s about time that returns to the mean.

 

[Umami Zen]

Vegas showing their respect to the XL crowd at -4.. Show them why the smart money was right..

Who you got dropping 30 on their heads tonight? Hopefully that’s another donut. Only guy in the rotation that DIDNT score.

Prosper gonna go for 30 tonight. He’s gonna feast off of our piss-poor 4/5 defense and Hurley won’t adapt.

Like I said earlier, we’re officially doomed. Blood in the streets of Hartford. See everyone at the bars after the game drinking our pain away.

LMAO.

Prosper’s struggling right now. Way off his game. Hitting only 36% and averaging only 9 ppg over his past 3 games vs the dregs of the league. The flight from Milwaukee isn’t going to have him any more ready for this game.

They killed us on 12-15 foot bank shots. Like literally the worst shot in basketball

 

[Billy Jack]

Take us on the over.

Gtown did that the first game too, especially Spears. Need this to revert to the mean as well.

I'd be all over taking the over on 146.

Not for them. Their banks were sick and way above expected make rate, agreed, but the feast on 2 point shots in general

 

[bendm]

i believe we had our two worst 3PT shooting games of the year against Marquette and PC, 27.3% and 22.7%, respectively.

if we scan hit 30% then we should win both rematches.

I’m curious how they measure this. I feel like highly skilled players make difficult shots that on paper look “lucky”.

 

[XLCenterFan]

I don’t think we’ve been a dog yet all year. And this is one of our smaller spreads.

Prosper gonna go for 30 tonight. He’s gonna feast off of our piss-poor 4/5 defense and Hurley won’t adapt.

Thank you for the mush my friend.

In Ken Pom’s system, luck has nothing to do with our normal understanding of the word. It is purely a statistical term, an attempt to account for statistical aberrations which can’t be otherwise explained with data. Here’s what he says:

“Luck . . . Is the deviation in winning percentage between a team’s actual record and their (statistically) expected record . . . (A) team that is very lucky will be rated lower by my system than their record would suggest.”

The good news is that he doesn’t attribute whatever success we’ve had to luck. We’ve earned it.

They were pulling shots out if you know where. It was ridiculous. Not tonight.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Marquette fake Big East. UConn real Big East. Payback is a b….

My friend commented that it felt like we were getting beat by a bunch of 50 year olds at the YMCA.
