SouthernJet Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 And yet again, Duke and UNC have home games in the first round. In 2003, Syracuse was given a load of **** because their first round of games were in Albany. Granted, Duke and UNC are usually a high seed, but it's crazy how often they score home games in the first round. doesnt the NCAA try and put the 1/2/3 seeds in closest geographic regional??? Is this new news??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he didn't pick the Heels in '06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i am a duke fan, i know they are out by sweet sixteen My final 4 pitt louisville OK and memphis So you have Villanova losing to Pitt, a team that it beat by 10 earlier this season? Want to reconsider that one? They're going to play the game in Boston. I find it tremendously hard to believe that there will be more of a Pitt crowd than a Villanova crowd up there. Oh, and at the Boston Garden, unlike the other regional sites, 'Nova's shooting won't be affected by the depth-perception issues that have plagued us in the past.

PS17 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Clemson cant shoot free throws. Syracuse is the worst free-throw shooting team in the tournament at around a good 63%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 While the Villanova recruiting class is only ranked #4 in the country by Rivals.com (and congrats to UNC on #1), that doesn't take into account the Transfer (Taylor King, former McD's All-American) or the redshirt (Mo Sutton). Villanova comes back next year with the deepest backcourt in the Big East (maybe the NCAA), and a frontcourt that may perform as well as this year's. I'm excited. It looks like Flynn is going to hang on at 'Cuse... What are your predictions for next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I am enjoying the Heels Championship right now, as far as next year. I want to see who is coming back before I make any predictions. it's very early in the process right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uart Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 http://vuhoops.com/2009/05/07/2008-apr-numbers-released-by-ncaa/ Accolades for the Villanova Men’s Basketball Program continue to roll in as the sport was recognized by the NCAA with the “Public Recognition Award” for their success on the Academic Progress Rates. Football, Men’s Lacrosse, Men’s Golf, Men’s Swimming, Women’s Basketball, and Women’s Softball also won the award for their APRs. Villanova led the Big East Conference APR for Men’s Basketball with an astounding 985. Here is how the Big East squads performed… Notre Dame 982 Marquette 970 Rutgers 968 Louisville 965 Pitt 965 West Virginia 960 St. Johns 959 Georgetown 942 DePaul 940 Connecticut 939 Providence 939 Syracuse 932 Seton Hall 918 Cincinnati 902 USF 878 A “perfect” APR is 1000 and a 50% graduation rate 925. How is the APR calculated??? Well, get ready… “The APR is calculated by allocating points for eligibility and retention — the two factors that research identifies as the best indicators of graduation. Each player on a given roster earns a maximum of two points per term, one for being academically eligible and one for staying with the institution. A team’s APR is the total points of a team’s roster at a given time divided by the total points possible. Since this results in a decimal number, the CAP decided to multiply it by 1,000 for ease of reference. Thus, a raw APR score of .925 translates into the 925 that will become the standard terminology.” Historically comparing, the 4-year average is 933, with the 2007-08 number at 947. Interestingly… 8 schools in the Big East are above that, 8 are below. No school in the conference is subject to penalties for their basketball performance. If a school is below 925 for two years, they can possibly lose a scholarship. 3 years and they can be banned by the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Kudos.. Only thing wrong with these stats is you get dinged if guys leave for the NBA.. They should have the eligibility results separate so as not to ding the programs where kids go to NBA early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
