If season stats tend to repeat themselves this Saturday, here are a few in AU's favor to watch

1. Turnovers per game. WTF is Nate Oats doing on this one? Maybe speed of play has been so emphasized that their kids get really loose handles on the ball?

Bama ranked # 301, 13.4 turnovers per game
AU ranked 6th, 9.2 turnovers per game

2. Turnovers forced per game. A defensive stat.

Bama ranked 306th, 10.4 TO's forced per game
AU ranked 184th, 12.12 TO's forced per game

3. Assist to turnover ratio:

AU ranked 3rd nationally, 1.84 on this important stat
Bama 114th, 1.27

4. The media narrative which has merit is that bammer will kill you shooting 3-pointers.

3-pointers per game:

Bama 20th, 10.2 per game
AU 43rd, 9.5 per game

Hardly a wild disparity.

I look for Burgo and Bruce, et al to see if they can force bammer to play more "left handed", giving them only the mid-range jumpers that Oats loathes to put up much. Essentially forbids his players from taking much at all based on Oats' quant analysis. Limit or take away the 3 line and the bunny baskets at the rim. Of course, the planning to do that is the easy part, we shall see on execution. But every chance AU can turn over the Tahd, the odds of winning go up for AU.

AU keys: Hit 10 3's, play fierce D holding bammer to 9 3's, turn bammer over 14 times, and limit your own turnovers to 9. Play defense without fouling excessively.

That may all be offset by the pathetic zebras sending bammer to the foul line 30 times, we shall see.

Is Geoff Goodman a massive loser? Survey says

Yes

Was listening to message board legend Charlie5’s podcast this morning and he eviscerated that mouth-breathing, Northport chevron bathroom party goer, terd’s argument that it’s not even a discussion that Cooper Flagg is the best player in the country.

Broome has better stats against the best teams in the nation. It’s really not even a conversation at this point. Dude playing HS teams or dude playing NBA teams with better stats.


Yes I’m mad

Never in my life have I seen war hawk news anchors...

but they've come out of the wood work the last few days.

Now, all of a sudden, the primary goal here is to get the Donbas and Crimea back? And Trump and the Americans are the Empire of Evil if they don't?

Where the fvck was this moral imperative throughout the last 3 years of Biden? Why is it NOW, ALL OF A SUDDEN, that this is the primary goal of news anchors on the left?
