As much as I want to watch this trainwreck, can we do it in another thread? I've always wanted a dedicated "rj vs statistics" thread.

Virginia had the 21st best offense in the country last year. When they had the ball they scored more often than all but 20 teams in the country. They got the right Results (wins) 30 out of 37 times.
ppg is a horrible predictor of what will happen when two teams play each other.

It's looking like the perfect time to launch my kickstarter to send RJ and a dedicated documentary filmmaker (basically someone on the boards with a camera) to a SABR convention or the Sloan Sports Conference.
RJ, seriously, would you do this?
2016 guard Kyle Guy (#50 in 247 Composite) committed to UVA. If Tony Bennett can get top 100 guys on the regular, hoo boy.
Depends on the scheduling.
I was kinda surprised that AZ was the lowest scoring team in the Top 10. But then I thought about it and Nick Johnson was really their only outside threat.
Other AZ even Michigan (who plays in the walk it up and bang Big We Can't Count) averaged 75 ppg.
Do you guys really think 16, 17, 18 yo kids give a K's ass about KenPom or other computer stats? Or do you think they think UVA scores 65 ppg, Nova scores 78.5ppg, KY scores 76.4, Duke scores 79.1ppg?
Who cares if it's an indicator? It's about getting the best players.

I think we are in a better position going forward with Danny than UVA is with their style of play. The best kids don't want to play slowly.
Bennett will have a great career at UVA but has a lower ceiling in postseason.
Hoo boy.
Well, that's just blind homerism. Bennett has proven a ton more as a coach than Manning has at this point. If Bennett can get 4-year guys ranked in the 50-75 range (which he's proven he can), they will be conference title and deep postseason run contenders for as long as Bennett is there. He's that good of a defensive coach.I think we are in a better position going forward with Danny than UVA is with their style of play. The best kids don't want to play slowly.
