All of these scores or ratings would presumably become more accurate as the season goes on and opponents' defensive rankings even out.Case Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06335869124809666508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-92034462018964263832017-11-16T09:51:07.576-05:002017-11-16T09:51:07.576-05:00Let's be careful on interpreting that "Sp...Let's be careful on interpreting that "Speed School formers".

With all of the tape the ULWBB staff reviews I'm sure they have some kind of an estimate of how tough defensively a given opponent will be although they might not want to share it. If you could come up with some kind of a number rating (1 - 5?) then it could be used with turnovers and some of the other variables you mention. So if someone could come up with that ranking then I imagine you could come up with a turnover target for a given opponent and then assign a grade based upon how much over or under our turnovers come at after the game. It could get a bit complicated as I know Walz wants his kids to be aggressive but assuming he wants the same level of aggressiveness every game that may not have to be factored in. Don’t want to get too cute about it but it could be meaningful.<br /><br />I didn’t realize you had a couple engineers on your team. They do stuff like this in their sleep. Between them and an experienced horse handicapper like yourself it would be interesting to see how that would come out. Might not mean much initially but would be cool to track and play with over time.<br />BurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-43664876086442898172017-11-15T16:36:05.890-05:002017-11-15T16:36:05.890-05:00Don’t look to me* silly iPhone autocorrect Don’t look to me* silly iPhone autocorrect Jared Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119374310033733226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-61039582557498191232017-11-15T16:35:39.845-05:002017-11-15T16:35:39.845-05:00I’m pretty bad at being active in the comments sec...I’m pretty bad at being active in the comments section on here because the bank has many sites like Blogspot blocked and the WiFi isn’t always strong enough for my phone to connect. Nevertheless, thank you for the kind words on today’s write-up.<br /><br />I’m still tweaking the J-A-R-E-D report and it will get better as the season progresses and I get to do more with it.<br /><br />I’m hoping the mobile app season ticket stuff gets resolved by the ticket office soon so we can bring more loyal fans back. And as we settle into a normal rotation of players things will get better.

It might screw up the "name thingy" folks are doing but I suggest someone come up with a ball handling efficiency metric. Could be a function of turnovers and the opponent. Point being, in some games eight turnovers are too may because the opponent isn't very good, doesn't focus on defense or press...conversely in some games 15 turnovers might be acceptable if you're playing a strong pressing / defensive squad. Would be fun to think that through and come up with a measurement that makes sense. Probably could come up with an opponent defensive intensity "grade" and throw it up against turnovers to come up with a score. Just a suggestion.<br /><br />The attendance is a bit alarming but it has been trending downward generally in WCBB other than South Carolina for a while. Further WNBA attendance is so bad they stopped reporting attendance in the box scores last season and then at the end claimed attendance was up due to streaming which is laughable. So...clearly attendance is global challenge for WBB.<br /><br />Regardless it's good to get another W and have a chance to see lots of kids play.BurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-59704853800003318332017-11-15T11:56:28.283-05:002017-11-15T11:56:28.283-05:00On the attendance issue do not forget about the fo...On the attendance issue do not forget about the former season ticket holders who did not renew because of the new U of L Mobile App seat assignments.

Players playing in positions they're not used to playing. There will be a huge difference when conference games start and the rotation dwindles. Basically, it'll be one or two reserves at a time, not 4-5 all together. <br />And I'm sick of local media coverage, which amounts to little to none, for a top 10, top 5 team, is senseless to me. It's like they'll only cover after home games or games like the Ohio State game when Durr scored 47 and they HAD to say something.kstarksrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465351067278768743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-3828474945039959122017-11-15T10:39:36.525-05:002017-11-15T10:39:36.525-05:00Yeah, I'll FRED it out:

I've heard some attribute the drop in attendance to scandal fatigue to which I say "why take this out on the student-athletes?" and some to busy schedules. I think there may be another factor--that our local print and television media acts like the program doesn't exist. Oldsters like me still rely to some degree on the print edition of the C-J for local news. If you didn't already know about the schedule or that there was a game last night, you sure wouldn't have learned that from the C-J's Sports section yesterday morning.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822392937117017444noreply@blogger.com
