How good of a stat is defensive rating for an individual player? Because Rutgers has 6 players in the top 20 so far.

Very bad. DRtg is good when used for lineups or a full team. It is nigh useless for an individual player.

Good. The thought of Rutgers being that good at anything was too much for my mind to handle. Does the same apply to offensive rating as well?

No, offensive all-in-one stats are normally pretty good at just about every granularity (team, lineup, and individual). The thing with ORtg (and most of them, really), is that you also have to take into account volume/usage. A player with a high ORtg but very low usage isn't as worthwhile as a player with a significantly lower ORtg but a whole bunch of usage.

Also, the reason why there may be a bunch of Rutgers players with great DRtg is probably because they play with each other a lot and share in the defensive success of the unit.

My criticism of ORtg is that it doesn't have any way to account for a player getting double or triple teamed or things like that so teammates of superstars ORtg usually is inflated.

Yeah, but you can look at USG% to mitigate that impact. Or at least balance it out a bit.

I don 't follow College basketball but I went to TTU and I got a text from an old drinking buddy about our win today. So here is to winning the Big 12 and saying gently caress you to Kansas and then winning the whole tournament and saying gently caress you to Duke.

A good ethos for every college basketball fan

I'm not certain this league will help HBCU's as much as it says, but it can't hurt, right?

Making eye contact and smiling is completely out of line. We don't need this blatant unsportsman like behavior in today's game.

Better yet, the ref who called the tech was at the halfcourt line so didn't even see the smile and could only assume eye contact was made.

Oh yeah it's amazing it's just not really what the Titanic videos are usually all about. They're for upsets that make you cry they're so beautiful.

I mean, I guess. I don't actually know.

Content: the Big 12 tournament is next weekend and I don't care at all.

Nah, that twitter account is for any cool thing that happens in basketball that they can fit into the tune. They also did Harden's filthy ankle-breaker + stepback from the other night, even though it was the #1 team vs the ~# 15 team (record wise).

I dunno how much traffic the NCAA Women get in this thread but UConn just shut out Cincinnati in the 2nd quarter 26-0 and were up 43-5 at halftime.

Cincinnati just scored their first basket since 4:39 in the first quarter at 3:33 left in the third.

I'm going to see D1 college basketball (in person) for the first time in like 20 years tonight. I hope it doesn't suck.

Who should I be watching in the A&M/Loyola game? What Kansas State player may end up Luke Maye-ing the Cats?

E: Is there not a gameday thread for NCAA?

There is, it's just gotten buried due to no games recently: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3851751
