Matt Thomas was an above average defender his last 2 years in college.
Based on what? He didn't learn how to play man to man until late in his career. Is it the .2 blocks or the .7 steals a game?
The Elham ending is interesting for this tourney. With first deadball after 4 min left in 4th quarter they put a score up to play to. It’s 8 points above what the winning team is at. So if it’s 82-80 the score is 90 to get to. Clock is shut off and first team to it or over it wins. It eliminates the fouling game
I go on the theory that I don't predict outcomes. I simply cheer them on. That goes for our current Cyclone teams as well.
You are the voice of a true fan!
If I listened to lots of people on this thread, I would have missed watching Tyrus having a very nice first half.
Did you really use those stats as evidence?
Good defenders aren't measured by blocks and steals alone.
The best CBs in the NFL don't always even get much for interceptions -- teams won't even throw at them at a point, if they know they are messing with danger.
The same is true in basketball -- good defenders keep the ball away from good scorers and keep them from scoring if and when they have it. Lot more than just generating turnovers.
I'm not going to go back and look for advanced metrics to support an argument I don't care about. I just don't think there's miles difference between the two defensively
I liked it and wouldn't mind seeing it used in pre conference tournaments and NIT to see how it goes.
They said while watching the game and posting in a thread about TBT.
