i didn't watch saturday's game....family gathering got in the way.
why did elatonsev not play saturday/sunday? did he have to hustle home to fight ukraine?

 

[Eielson]

not sure why he's arguing at all. he admits crup moser needs to go.
he's arguing crup moser did just enough to still suck.
he just argues for sport.

Did I say anything you disagree with or are you just following me around in every thread like you have since the QBR discussion that your feelings were hurt in?

This was one of the most puzzling things to me. Why was he suddenly not playing after being such a regular part of the rotation? I was pleased with the minutes from Rogers in the tourney… hopefully we can bring him back next year for some post depth.

was it because foreign players supposedly can't receive nil?
so if he played he wouldn't get any $$ anyway?

Could be true. I think he played in the first game, though.

He played the first game.

 

[daqman]

hmmmm....so it was never announced why he didn't play in final 2 games?

I just chalk it up to Moser being Moser. Who knows what he’s thinking with his substitutions? I do think he probably was trying to see how Rogers looked, but then he sat Rogers in the second half and OT, so who knows. Kirill looked bored as hell on the bench and I can’t blame him. I assume his lack of PT is an indication they aren’t optimistic he will get another season.

Porter is weird.. he throws darts at a board to figure out rotation/playing time

Not confused at all. Since you don't disagree with what I said and just wanted to sneak some character jabs based on hurt feelings in football season, I'll go ahead and draw this fruitless conversation to a close.

Trying out Gemini for this, I had to correct it on one year. I lost my KP subscription, so not sure how accurate ALL of this is.



Coaching Summary:


Also, wild we played 37 games this year.

We played 37 games and there are still people touting a 20 win season. What a joke.

Wow Moser is pathetic

Performance Highlights

• Elite Competition:
  Kelvin Sampson
  remains the only coach in this era to maintain a winning record against the KenPom Top 50. His .588 win percentage in that tier is significantly higher than his successors.
• The "Moser Gap": While
  Porter Moser
  has been perfect against the sub-200 tier, his .301 winning percentage against the Top 50 is a key reason for the program's inconsistent tournament appearances during his tenure. However, his .500 mark against the 51-100 tier shows resilience against "bubble-level" teams.
• Kruger's Consistency:
  Lon Kruger
  secured the most Top-50 wins (50) and maintained a high floor by winning nearly 70% of games against Top-100 competition, which led to seven NCAA tournament bids in 10 seasons.
• Schedule Composition: Moser's era has seen a higher frequency of Top-50 games (average of ~15 per season) compared to earlier eras, reflecting the increased depth and analytical strength of the modern Big 12 and SEC.

Comparative Analysis

• The Sampson Anomaly:
  Kelvin Sampson
  faced an elite schedule density nearly identical to Moser's (43.5% vs. 42.9%) but maintained a win rate 28.7% higher. He is the only coach in this period whose success rate exceeded the difficulty ratio of his schedule.
• Moser's Efficiency:
  Moser
  has the lowest total win count (97), his Elite Win Rate (30.1%) is very similar to Lon Kruger's (32.1%), despite Kruger having double the volume of games and a slightly higher percentage of Top-50 matchups over 10 seasons.
• The "Gauntlet" Era:
  Moser's schedule difficulty is skewed by the
  Big 12's analytical dominance and the move to the SEC. In 2024-25 and 2025-26, his SOS frequently ranked in the National Top 10 because the SEC median ranking reached an all-time high of No. 32.
• Kruger's "Floor" Advantage:
  Lon Kruger
  played the highest percentage of Top-50 games (48.8%) but offset those elite-tier losses with a dominant .690 win rate against teams ranked 51-100, a tier where Moser has struggled at a flat .500.

That 51-100 record is brutal and unacceptable

Didn’t play Roger’s most of the year.. had a very good first half Sunday… then nothing in the second half…

Same with Atak.

If I’m going after any of the guys moser is that’s my biggest talking point. Moser won’t play you even if you have a great game. His rotations and subbing is crazy.

 

[opsooner]

During one of those timeouts where they pulled Moser away from the huddle for an interview you could see KE standing in the background staring at Moser like he was going to ask GRU to intervene.
