"The NCAA is on track to expand the March Madness tournament from 68 to 76 teams, likely starting in 2027. Under this expansion, the tournament will replace the "First Four" with an "opening round" that includes more play-in games to accommodate additional at-large and conference champion bids...

Will this truncate the bottom half teams or the top half teams or split? Are we going to see 16v16, 16v16, 16v16, 16v16 and 11v11, 11v11, 11v11, 11v11 and 12v12, 12v12, 10v10, 10v10??? First 12? 24 teams of the 76 being featured in that Dayton Ohio section? (assuming split to two more sites)...

Just as a frame of reference, using per36 and per40 numbers: Edti: I had the incorrect eFG%, fixed. These are much more promising and the big key for me is PF over the per36. Lower than Wague his senior season, that is the difference. If he can become a 8/6 or even a 10/8 guy, that is good...

You could interpolate the jump from G-League to MBB is roughly a 13.43% jump in composite score based off of Bediako. (Again this is VERY generalized) That would put him just above Wague, but barely.

If that is the case, Bediako was decent coming out of Alabama, using his best G-League year before he was comparable. Grain of salt, he did only play 5 games with Bama this last year, BUT, he played solid competition.

Not to muddy the thread down, (sorry all), I am using Claude for this app, another betting app that I am going to monetize, a book series, and a small side business for my wife. It is amazing all that it can do if you know how to prompt it correctly.

Totally fair. I just don't know how to properly translate G-League down. Should I bump up the multiplier to make him ungodly good for out team? I don't have a good comparison right now. Maybe I will look into last years G-League to NCAA players and try to match that. Give me some time. I will...

I actually find the game a lot more fun when I can see why things are happening on the court. I do this for a living, so I enjoy the deep dive, and clearly, the team does too since we finally hired a GM to handle exactly this. Advanced metrics have been the backbone of every sport for a long...

Something to keep in mind and maybe temper our expectations just a bit? I bumped up Gak's multiplier because of the G-League. https://basketball.realgm.com/player/Akoldah-Gak/Summary/138962 Remove his Cairns season and it looks a bit more comparable: I think Alabama Wague and Gak are...

Pumped we put our eggs in that basket then.

Don't forget... Teams like SDU are the new JUCO transfer. Hope that helps.

Pop Isaacs v. Nijel Pack:

If the center is a G-League player.

That would 100% change my perception of the team, for sure.

I knew you weren't fast ... (😉) All kidding aside, I am just sad at our offseason. Then I think, this is probably Moser's last year ... but then I also think ... imagine having a new coach 2 years ago. It is a roller coaster of emotions.
