In response to PennFan10
I apologize if people think I’m trying to inflame or troll a fan base. I’m just in this for different reasons most folks on these boards. What these message boards and talking with folks around the league helps me do is to find things to test, which ultimately prove to be real or not and can provide an edge in making predictions over current best-in-class systems (KenPom, Bart, even Vegas). I’m a fan of the league so I want to ground my work in the context of games/schools I enjoy, but I’m far more obsessed with predictions being right than a particular school winning.
I do understand, though, that view is at cross-purposes with the objective of these boards so at times it can be unwelcome.
