This is the same rationale that Boston must have been doing SOMETHING different to cause opponents to miss threes in the regular season despite 4 different coaches, several different roster cores and the effect not following anyone post Celtics tenure.

This staunch popularist has a beef with one of basketball's four factors. After 20 years it's nowhere to be seen during men's college games. Let's try something else that's equally accurate. Maybe a wider population will use it. johngasaway.com/2024/04/10/bas…
Seeing UConn's run whole, Alabama playing a normal game of good offense against this historic death ray and scoring a normal-good number of points on each possession stands out. No other opponent up to and including Purdue could get there. Tide, I salute you.
Since Michigan State won the title in 2000, the Big Ten is one of four major conferences to perform above seed expectation. Considering the league's debacle in the 2021 bracket, that's amazing. x.com/ct_in_tc/statu…

Only teams with back-to-back titles to win all their games by double digits: Kentucky 1948 and 1949 UConn 2023 and 2024 Huskies played twice the number of games. Salute.
Organizationally the NCAA's never been more imperiled. Functionally it's never been more fortunate. In the next 48 hours Caitlin Clark and Iowa will face top ranked and undefeated South Carolina and the men will play the best on-paper title game in years.
With just four turnovers in a 63-possession game, tonight will rank around No. 6 on the wall of fame at KenPom for UConn's lowest TO%s since 1997. Salute.
[It's Happening gif] UConn first half: 1.40 PPP.
If your graphic says Alabama averages 14.5 seconds per possession and that this speed ranks No. 3 in the nation, make room at the bottom. "Source: KenPom."
After a rocky start NC State really clamped down on its defensive glass. Purdue's giving the ball away on one in every four possessions. If the Wolfpack were hitting shots....
Really low shot-volume half near the end of one historically high shot-volume season. NC State will take two Edey FTAs for 20 minutes any day. Never catching Frank Selvy at this rate.

@JohnGasaway New Orleans opened on Friday (unless they made a hire that I missed, in which case apologies)
The difference in defensive gameplans for Purdue's last two NCAA tournament losses was... stark
@JohnGasaway I am incredibly proud of myself ATM because I saw this and before I clicked on it thought to myself "I hope this is a suggestion to use points-per-shot". It's so simple and easy to understand. Be sure to read this folks.
@JohnGasaway My biggest issue with that year was that I felt like if we had gotten Baylor-Zaga back in December, the Zags game plan would have been way different in April and we would have gotten a much better game. Which prolly speaks to exactly what you’re saying.
@JohnGasaway "Serene in the knowledge that they must be dashed by events someday..." is fan-fricking-tastic. I am going to borrow that with attribution in many a future conversation
Some news: I’m a few weeks into a new role as senior editor for sports enterprise & audience strategy at The Post. It’s a thrill to be back in Sports, working with its immensely talented staff. Very grateful to @JasonMurray117, Matt Rennie and Sally Buzbee for the opportunity 🚀
@JohnGasaway So Duke gets to play a 13,12,1-without their first team All America selection for 27 minutes then an 11… while my team gets hit up by 42.3% from 3 and little brother (NCSt) has a team hit 12.3% from 3 against them. And we defended the 3’s well and Marquette’s were wide open!! :(
@JohnGasaway UAB's 102-100 win against Washington in 2004 first round was quite an offensive explosion and one of the few times two squads hit 100 in an NCAA game since 1999. But neither squad came close to making your list in terms of points per possession.
@JohnGasaway Thank you for devoting an entire column to our random comments following Purdue and Illinois' bucketfests :)
Duke's scoring 1.846 points per possession. Is that good @JohnGasaway?
Brad Underwood told me last night that three years ago after losing as a No. 1 seed he decided to change how he built his roster. And a conversation with Jay Wright in December led to a change that made his offense the best in the country: theathletic.com/5364471/2024/0…
@JohnGasaway They’ve also lost the second most round of 64 games as an 8 seed or better over that same period. Good seed helps, but hasn’t been a guarantee of anything.
@JohnGasaway They are lucky Arkansas State upset App St so they didn't lose a third time and need an at-large. 😀
Houston trying to send Longwood to Division II or something. But fun fact about Longwood: head coach Griff Aldrich was an international attorney who became an oil tycoon and then a head coach at Longwood. There is a Netflix show just sitting there.
@JohnGasaway Only second triple-double since 2012.
The best day of the year. The best four days on the sports calendar. Brackets are still pristine, but we know they’ll be a mess 12 hours from now. Nothing else quite like it.
@JohnGasaway I’m sorry to say you’re likely doomed
