The “Feb. Fade”

[Vander Blue Man Group]

We looked a lot better against K state then Butler.

K state NET - 68
Butler NET - 132

Thanks for confirming it's dumb.

Your opinion, is your opinion. Want to argue, give me a stat, from todays game, that proves your point.

You're on the clock

We've come back from a stretch this season where we went 1 for 6 and then went 8 for 9.  I wouldn't despair.

Comparing one game from December to one game in February literally tells you nothing, genius.  If you don't realize that I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you.

Ok, take any statistic from the last 4 games (I'm giving you a game in January by the way) to prove your point.

Georgetown entered the BE Tournament last year at 9-12 and 85th in KenPom. They beat the 12th, 54th and 22nd KenPom teams after routing Marquette in the opener.

The 22nd rated team was Creighton and GTown won by 25.  GTown went on to lose by 23 in round 1 of the NCAA tourney while Creighton went to the Sweet 16.

Stuff happens

Hahahahahaha.  Now it's a 4 game sample size?

Adorable.

Yes. Let's just use two data points and ignore everything in between. 🙄🙄🙄

[PGsHeroes32]

In the last 4 games we are 34/96 from 3 which is 35.4%. Which is better than what we shot as a team the entire first two months.

So theres a 1 stat.

Umm... the name of this thread references just the month of February, so yea I can only give you 4 games max

Thanks again for confirming.   

To "fade in February" you have to compare it to something.  Which is it?

This is a statistic that makes me nervous about the rest of the season.

I hope like hell that this team turns it around.  BUT to have lost 3 of 4 and just played your WORST game since 2008 against a team with  a NET ranking of 132 has "Feb Fade" written all over it.

Do you understand what "sample size" means?

Embarrassing.

[muhoops1]

It's unnerving how bad they've played

[goldeneagle91114]

Embarrassing.

Do you understand I'm talking about February? I'm asking you evaluate every game in February and even the last part of January.

I don't care about your arbitrary end points. Do you understand I think what you're freaking out about is so incredibly stupid I'm not sure how to respond?

[Ardmore Mug]

Then DON't respond   ! ! !   Not worth it !! ! !

I'm upset the team has lost 3 of 4 and just had their worst performance since 2008. That's not an opinion, it's fact.

I, just like you, want Shaka to succeed. However he needs to same some freaking adjustments (like all good coaches do). the scouting report is out on Marquette.

I don't understand why anyone would say it's stupid to be questioning what will happen the rest of the month/season.

Will Shaka make the right adjustments or will he fold like Wojo did? It's an honest question.

There is literally zero reason to compare to Wojo. This isn't complicated.

Wrong. And it goes even deeper.

Deep down, Buzz knew that his successor would always pull the late-season el foldo, so that's why his 2014 team folded.

I mean, that's just science!

You got me. And now that you mention it I suspect this goes back to Mike Deane and Bart Miller.

[withoutbias]

At least we know BlueMan is this way for all sports teams he likes, not just the Chicago professional sports teams. If anyone dares criticize any of those teams he's in all out war mode.

It's okay to be critical of a team you like. The team stunk today, flat out. And they didn't play well at UCONN this week either. Are people overreacting? Some. But the team didn't play well this week and it'd be nice to see that turn around. It's a message board. It's okay to discuss the negatives.

Why are you tagging me?  You said "You're telling me you saw an improved team today vs Dec.?"

They looked bad yesterday. They looked bad in December.  But they looked really good in between and for some reason you are ignoring that.

And no they didn't have their worst game since 2008. They had their worst game defensively since 2008.

I see comprehension is still a serious problem for you.

This has nothing to do with criticism. Marquette was, for the most part, awful yesterday. What it does have to do with is abject stupidity and unnecessary panic. But please, explain to me how comparing single games from months apart to reach a conclusion is astute analysis. Please tell me how Wojo's late season results are in any way relevant to a team that has a new staff and only 3 returning players, one of whom is a strong contender for BEPOY.

Ok take Wojo out it. Will Shaka make the right adjustments or will he fold? It's an honest question and one that it totally appropriate to be asking about a first year coach.
