Auburn Basketball: Road Warriors

It’s okay to be confident about Auburn’s road games
Auburn is back on the road this week, with games scheduled in Baton Rouge and Oxford, and I can’t be the only one feeling a little more confident than usual about Auburn’s chances in true road games.

Great analysis. Watched UK shoot 50% from 3 to beat UT last night on the road. The volume of 3s was really low (for them) but when you make half of them against a bad offense, you have the luxury of not having to hoist a bunch.

TWELVE Monday NBA Games

...yup, another winning weekend :)
This January run continues to be BONKERS. I am up over +21units month to date, and just watched a Chiefs +650 futures ticket be sent into the Super Bowl. Not much else to say do beside blast Alicia Keys, belt out some “THIS GIRL IS ON FIREEEE” (who celebrated her 44th birthday this weekend- QUEEN), and get back to capping more NBA games as we just reac…

Collin Murray-Boyles: Basketball Amoeba

Stephen talks about the keys to help you be higher on CMB | PLUS: Stephen's Scouting Notes
Positions are highly discussed and debated within many basketball circles. How important they are, how dated they might be, the nostalgia of the true power forward—there is no shortage of takes on how applicable or relevant that simple term is within the most beautiful game in the word. Yet, while positions are debated, there is no denying that the way …

Girls HS Basketball Rankings (Feb. 1st)

IHSA Playoff Preview (Chicagoland Area Teams)
If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times … I am not a huge fan of rankings. But I have to admit that it can be a fun exercise, and I do appreciate the work that goes into them sometimes. The amount of time and preparation that Mel Kiper puts into the NFL Draft is impressive.

THE OPENER: — For about 10 months out of 12 we have the NFL and MLB to be the centerpieces to our fandom. The Twins are our daily show and the Vikings are our weekend adventure with everything that either leads up to the game, or is there for analysis afterward. We’re without those right now, giving us time to walk away for a bit or find other things to…

Thanks Joe, that is impressive how analytically good we are in the mid-range, the shot that is supposed to be so bad. Still though I do want to see the guys shoot more three's, especially Loyer! He pump fakes and drives a little more than I want to see, just shoot it Fletch!
