The field for the NCAA hockey tournament was announced on Sunday and it was totally determined by a rating system. Amazing concept! And sad that basketball refuses to consider it. https://t.co/MUNhAbB5YK

@blaing99 @ThatRangerDude I agree those could be differences, but I'm not sure how (or if) they would meaningfully change the percentages. Anyway, put me on the side of: Taking the blank is fine but doing it without ever trying to generate offense is really not ideal. Looking forward to your commentary!

[Ken Pomeroy @kenpomeroy]

@ThatRangerDude @blaing99 Not enough data from specifically Brier finals, of course, but I'd be curious what the difference is from a random Thursday night on tour, though. Marginally more benefit from hammer I'd assume but I'd be curious why the relative value of blank vs steal vs deuce would change much

John just calls it a blog, but the kids need to know that 20 years ago he spawned a whole generation of smarter Big Ten fans (which years later, continues to fuel my subscription numbers). Amazing times. https://t.co/ZlfYU4A0IN

Hello, I have news!

[Ken Pomeroy @kenpomeroy]

@franfraschilla Have they though? Team with the reigning MVP was still a 15 point underdog against us. Serbia was unreal from 3-point range for 3 quarters and still lost. Int'l basketball has improved, but Team USA at its best is still a dominant force. 5 consecutive golds would be unreal.

Here is @hoopvision68 (5 YEARS AGO) arguing to use WAB over quadrants. If you want to understand WAB, this is a good place to start.

@JamesSurowiecki Gotta take it up with FIFA (or maybe the IOC?) https://t.co/Ys8UaSohS8

Congrats to Jordan who is one of most responsible and entertaining users of analytics in the field. Well deserved and a great add for Jans.

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

Mississippi State's Chris Jans is hiring Hoop Vision's Jordan Sperber to his staff, source told @TheFieldOf68.

Sperber worked for Jans for one season at New Mexico State as video coordinator.

Sperber has done an incredible job with Hoop Vision since starting it a handful of years ago, putting out terrific content and also consulting with college and NBA teams.

@SethBurn too late now

RIP my mentions, but 76 teams is totally responsible expansion and I don't understand why people are so hostile to it. It would have been cool to have had Indiana State in last season's tourney. So what if it comes with St. John's and Oklahoma joining them.

Great piece in today's @washingtonpost on the exceptional heatwave sweeping the world this month.

This is just a taste of what will become a regular occurrence if we do not urgently reduce our emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases: https://t.co/k1pD1kqn83

@PF3Machine If that happens, we riot. I don't see why that's a reason to keep it at 68 though.

[Ken Pomeroy @kenpomeroy]

In '92, 5-9 Iowa State got in. There is some nostalgic idea that only the best P6 teams used to get in. But it's not true. Mediocre P6 teams got in, there were just fewer of them available so plenty of room for the best MM at-larges. That is no longer the case. Need to expand.

A look at 1991 for example. 56 power conference teams. 30 got in the field. Three with below-.500 records. By comparison, I believe there were 79 power conference teams of which 35 made the field and two were sub-.500.
