November 26, 20223 yr Gotta say that I'm surprised that ISU is 5-0 with wins over the Tarheels and Nova, and yet they can't crack the top 40 on kenpom (42nd).
November 27, 20223 yr @shadow_operative not trying to steal your thunder just giving the people what they want.
November 27, 20223 yr Author ha. we almost posted simultaneously. while we've dropped in both the AdjD and AdjO rankings, we've extended our lead in AdjEM. the gap between Texas and #2 has widened. also:

December 2, 20223 yr Author avg possession length 15.5 seconds, the 25th fastest team in the country. that's why Chris Beard came to Texas- because Carr, Morris, Hunter, and Mitchell aren't going to go Lubbock, Texas to play basketball. and then for Beard to have them playing his usual brand of elite defense while running with this tempo- what a job he's doing.
December 3, 20223 yr Baylor's win over Gonzaga seemingly dropped us below Houston . . . and Baylor dropped, too. Lulz. Early season weirdness in computer rankings:
December 3, 20223 yr Author yeah, U of H is currently 0.05 points ahead of us in AdjEM. i could see us going back and forth for a while, unless a win vs Illinois pushes us well ahead of them.

December 4, 20223 yr We have wins over #10 and #14 and that gets trumped by UH's blowouts of a bunch of stiffs? Edited December 4, 20223 yr by TrashMaster G

Edited December 4, 20223 yr by shadow_operative
December 4, 20223 yr Rankings and ratings are merely conversational fodder at this stage. Don't get too worked up over them one way or the other. Seeding will take care of itself if this team stays healthy and continues to improve. On that note, the cohesiveness is what surprises me most of all. Mitchell, Hunter and Rice have mixed in like they've been playing with their teammates for years, not months. It's also apparent that everyone worked on their shooting in the offseason. Our 'Horns might not be lighting it up from outside, but their jumpers and moves inside the arc seem more polished. The lockdown defense we all expected, but this offense is a revelation. These guys are fun to watch.
December 7, 20223 yr Author shooting clearly has to go up. if/when it does we will be a very dangerous team. we've still been pretty damn good despite being poor from both the line and BTA.

December 7, 20223 yr It's what happens when the wife is really in the mood but you're not feelin' it.
December 7, 20223 yr This team takes a lot of bad 3s. With Arterio and Carr being the biggest offenders and Bishop and Disu chipping in for whatever reason. It's as much of an issue if not a bigger issue than the actual shooting ability. The two players that actually exhibit good shot selection from BTA - SJabari and Tyrese - are both shooting above 36%. I would say Brock does as well and he's 4/13 on the year which is about what you'd hope to get from him. Meanwhile Timmy, Disu, Bishop and Terio are a cool 8/45 on the season. I actually think Carr - adjusted for shot quality - has been better than expected but he's at .325 on the year. The FT shooting is a bigger issue - especially at the end of games with the 1&1 rule - but it centers around 3 guys in Timmy, Bishop and Mitchell. Outside of those 3 Texas is at 78%. Tyrese is an absolute non-issue in that dept. despite an untimely miss last night. I think Carr can be a bit better than .731 going forward. I expect Mitchell and Bishop to be terrible all season. Timmy is the one that needs to pick it up - sub .500 isn't going to cut it - he's .730 on his career.
December 8, 20223 yr Saw we dropped to 4. What a fucking program. They're the LSU of hoops. This is the best 4 game stretch of anyone in the country. Edited December 8, 20223 yr by ztejas
