oh and missed FG to FT-

if they were equal then a player who gets to the line would be punished for missed FT's.  I think their is value for gettign to the line (as long as you shoot a decent percentage).  Using my value here is what you would score if based on your  FT%....

80% shooter- 4-5=3.5 pts     8-10=7 pts
60% shooter- 3-5=1 pt          6-10=4 pts
40% shooter- 2-5=0.5 pts     4-10=1 pt
20% shooter- 1-5=-1 pt         2-10=-2 pts

As you can see at the same % a player is valued for his ability to get to the line, not just punished for missed FT's.  I think this is a good combination of valueing % with attempts.

Maybe my numbers could be a little more harsh on misses, but FT% is so ridiculously low.

Ok, who tinkled in all the CNU fans cornflakes this week?!?!

That would be Greensboro College and Methodist College

You're absolutely right, leroy.  It's pretty tough to accept losing back to back games to sub .500 teams who are at best, mediocre.

Hey guys, Newman was not included in the PVR on the web site because he's played just 7 games to injury against Averett. His PVR would be 28.5. Should be **at least** hon. mention

Newman?  Who's next, George Castanza?

what does that say about cnu...all 3 of their conference losses came to sub .500 teams who are, at best, mediocre...could it be that cnu is maybe, at best, mediocre?

Costanza's PVR would be pretty low since he is a "chucker".  His friend Jimmy (that sells the jump training shoes) is pretty good though

Ok lets not go there about records!!

i'm ready to reveal my poty....but first, here is the chart that i used which shows each of my "candidates" and their rank in the 8 major statistical categories - here is how this chart works - a #1 ranking gets a player 15 points, a #2 ranking gets 14 points, etc. - no ranking (NR) gets a player 0 points - the player with the most rank points wins!

in the interest of full-disclosure, seth thomas actually doesn't show up in the conference ft% statistic...he was one made ft short of qualifying...i inserted him into the rankings and gave him points because i just couldn't see the justification for him getting 0 points for ft% when blasingame and lawrence (who both shot much lower %) did over 1 ft...plus i know that my "selective statistics" drive captj crazy, and thought he might decide to re-post out of anger over this practice - to even this out, i did the same for all other statistics which have a minimum...nobody else benefitted as they still fell outside of the top 15 - i think everyone will agree this is "fair", and if you don't...oh well, it's my analysis...do your own :)

and now...my usasac player of the year

steve berg

i wanted to vote for thomas (i'm a homer at heart, and he does stuff the stat sheet), but every analysis i did said berg over thomas

i've updated home conference records for all teams over the last 6 seasons

cnu 34-5
mc 31- 8
ncwc 26-13
gc 25-14
su 23-16
au 18-21
fc 14-25

so while gc does "PROTECT their sanctuary", others in the conference do it better :)

monarchs up 36-33 at the half...a little too close for my comfort level

Well, since CNU finished higher than those three teams, they'd have to be slightly better than mediocre, right?  I honestly think CNU's the best team in the conference, although it may not be by much.

GO CAPS!

monarchs win 68-56 and get averett @ the freeman center...maybe mc can become the first usasac team to win in newport news this year

gullett...how'd the "protecting the sanctuary" go tonight?...hint for those who haven't seen the scoreboard...ncwc won @ gc - it's been nice playing - i told you that i would believe gc was a contender when i saw it...i didn't, but there's always next year, right :)

the beauty is...we'll find out - if cnu doesn't win the usasac tourney on their own floor, i'll have a hard time saying they were the best in the conference, and they have a 2nd round opponent that is as scary athletic as any team i've seen in a while...should be 3 great games this weekend

narch

box score - don't look now, but michael mcevoy is playing his backside off - 13 pts, 6 reb (4 offensive) and 6 blocks...nice night - thomas with 16/5 and 6 assists - monarchs don't shoot phenomenally well, esp from 3, but the tourney is all about "survive and advance" basketball...who cares if its pretty

I had two out of three pegged. I thought for sure with the way G'boro was playing they would have won tonight. But it will be the Bishops here at 6 pm on Friday. Looking forward to a long day of bball!  All-Conference comes out tomorrow.

The postseason is the only season that counts.
Looks like we could be pulling things together at the right time. 

Are the Monarchs getting a little swagger back? 


Well I know I'm fired up.
Are we big and bad again?
Can we talk our trash again?
I guess the real question is, can we back it up?

Good Luck Fellas.


sorry if this post doesnt make much sense, I'm on two hrs of sleep and ive been staring at code for the last four hours.
