I donā€™t think so, at least not in the google results

After you said it I was like ā€œwait, did he??ā€ One of those Mandela effect things.

None of my biz but it looks like UCF doesnā€™t have any subs!

That made for an entertaining start to Sunday evening. Anticipating another stellar recap

Ah yes, I remember that.

Zeb length and ability to change speeds is intriguing. Maybe a Delon Wright kinda guy, thatā€™s a nice college player archetype

Did ucf not sub at the end? Thatā€™s kind of lame

What is KenPom time? Does KenPom not factor out end of game blowout situations?

TWill was the one substitution at about 9:30 left (with M down by 12) in the first half that was the difference maker. His comfort level playing with Dickinson was a key as well. So Iā€™m giving the game ball to TWill.

He doesnā€™t. So Kenpom time is basically ā€œthis game is out of hand, but we want to beat the spread for personal satisfaction.ā€ Or in a case like today when the spread is 12, we want to destroy it by 30 instead of 20 :slight_smile:

They did not. I believe the only starter who was not on the floor at the end was CJ Walker, but he had fouled out.

So Iā€™ve been really vocal that there should be changes soon with more Dickinson and less Davis but after tonight I am more convinced than ever that Davis needs to be all but removed from the rotation, and itā€™s not even for more HD, itā€™s to create room for Williams and Johns.

Thereā€™s no way to get those two close to 20 minutes a game consistently without taking major minutes away from Franz/Livers (which honestly, 3-5 a night each I might be fine with). But it would be even easier to take Austin Davisā€™ 13 minutes a game and split them evenly between Johns and TWill. Thereā€™s too much of a logjam between Franz, Livers, Brown, Johns, Williams but it would be a major shame if we only get serious Johns/Williams minutes in ā€œin case of emergency, break glassā€ situations.

ā€œHeā€™s a captain, itā€™s good to let Hunter see the game for a bitā€ are fine reasons to not start Dickinson. But it seems clear at this point there are more guys than just him that need to see the floor, and no more Davis seems like the easiest immediate fix.

Huh, I wonder why he doesnā€™t? Does Torvik?

S & P+ for college football adjusts by score effects, for example.
