Wow. I know he was erratic the past season but that's still a big loss moving forward.

Maybe this is one of the reasons he was erratic.
Doesn't play for MU. Therefore the injury matters.

Certainly didn't help, I'm sure!
If their new coach can get them to gel, Providence is going to be really really good next season

I'm glad that an objective ratings service roughly matches my own optimistic expectations for next season.

St. Louis is way too low. I'm sharing this information.
But we only had 12 wins last year? How is this even possible?!?

Hope it happens. Lots of games to play before determining if this prediction is accurate.
On a serious note, am curious what the game plan at St. John's is for next season. Lotsa off-season left.

Thank you for being just the messenger.

Spend a lot of money.

Wait until you dig in and see how many min are expected for Caedin in that projection.
(Hint: it's over 11min (https://barttorvik.com/rostercast.php?team=Marquette&year=2027))

It's almost like W/L record doesnt tell the whole story of how good or bad a team is and isn't predictive of next seasons results.

I hadn't seen that before, and I confess that I don't know how to use it to determine minutes per game per player. What I can see is that Hamilton is projected behind the freshman Egbuonu in whatever the measurement is.

It shows 18 with 29% of minutes. 29% x 40 = 11.6 (plus add a tiny bit for assumed overtime games). Rounded, Torvik has 18 at 12, which seems about right as to what SS would like to do.
Where are we talking about John Fanta killing it on the Kentucky Derby announcer team?

Did I miss the Derby again? Dang it!
(Though, derby parties are fun)
Nope. Delayed.
You did. As always, history was made.

Just did some reading "a $3.1 million winner's purse." - apparently it'd be wiser to have a tall child and teach him to play basketball! Or...be NJ.

Oh, man. Going to have to boycott the second leg of the Triple Crown or really cheer for a man to win.

Not really. A horse won again.

But will people pay you exorbitant amounts of money to breed with your son?

That's a little personal! And I'd need to have a son. But I'm guessing yes.

That was probably the craziest horse race I recall seeing. From the jockey falling off the horse as they are entering the gates to all the longshots that were in the final stretch. Just crazy.

Yeah, it was fun.
And now everyone can go back to ignoring horse racing for the next 364 days.

"Falling off?" :o With the horse going down to the ground, he got off as quickly as possible and clear of the 1300+ lb. horse so that he didn't become embedded in the track.
I had a horse that one time snagged the edge of the pavement, tripped, and toppled over sideways. Fortunately, his shoulder hit the ground first. Otherwise, my leg would probably have been broken in 2-3 places. and if he had rolled over me I probably would not be here typing this. The jockey had time to get off. I didn't, and I had a very sore leg but no broken bones. Riders have been killed by a horse going over backwards and landing on them.
