I’ll have the stopwatch ready to make sure the Title IX requirement is met. /s

Great to hear that our big 3 are firing on all cylinders. Also nice to hear that Newell, Wright, and Persichetti stepping up. There always seems to be players who step up and play big roles who are freshmen/sophomores every year.
For me, I think the difference between us being a great team or a nationally ranked team with potential for record breaking year, is the play of our PFs. Roussell likes to spread the floor and have our PFs shoot 3s like Budnik and Doogan. Who is going to fill Budnik’s role this year? Also, all the top teams in the country have tall, strong players who can score in the post and rebound. Do we have the size and physicality to match that against the Texas, UCLA’s of the world?
Exciting year ahead.

Agree, hoping for some straight shooting on this schedule. Would love for them to have 4700 on to discuss this topic haha.
Couldn’t use the stopwatch in the car, but the coverage was either even or slightly favoring the women’s schedule. Nice work guys.
On the Net calculation of efficiency, I wonder what effect it would have if the last few minutes of the games were excluded. Seems to me that you could make a case that the end of the game was not representative of the whole especially in the case of a blow out win, but in other cases as well. Maybe one of the stat heads has tried this already and perhaps my gut feeling is wrong.

I was a little distracted listening. And I have poor listening skills to begin with.
Seemed like there was a case being made and numbers formulated that our schedule was not that bad because other A10 teams even though have some good games, their bad games suck worse than our bad games. I don't know but I would trade for those schedules. This is the worst schedule imaginable. Wish someone would pull Hardt or moon into an interview and lay it out in real terms.

Yes there was a bit of fun with numbers to compare the “average” of all the OOC scheduled teams to show that no one has a “great” average number. The teams with the best OOC games also have bad ones that bring the “average” closer to UR’s average and some averages are worse. I guess the point is that rarely is there a strong OOC schedule, which is actually more by design anyway. No one wants to have all tough OOC games (although Duke is close), but no one should want no tough games either. Nearly all teams are looking for something in the middle as “just right”.
