Ref FT %: Across all NCAA teams the average is 70 - 71%. Top teams are in the 73 - 78% range. Elite individual players can get to 90% and above.
Currently the St Louis Bilikens lead the country for '25 - '26 with an 82.3% team FT%. (only four other teams above 80%)

As compared to Pry, Fuente brought in a decent number of good Staffers...

Wiggins now at A&M, Vice and Shibest were both good coaches, Lechty seemed decent. Mitchell has continued as NCSU.

If the guy could have cut ties with his buddy at O.C. and found an experienced coordinator post-Foster...maybe Scott was that guy but he nuked himself..we might have had something.

Well, that and he needed to buy himself a personality.

But as far as hires go, Pry was a much, much worse hire than Fuente.

"What are you watching?"

None of them. Heck, I did not even realize Yale played last weekend. Thought the FCS started today. Only this morning did I realize they overcame a 42-14 second half deficit to win. Belated:

Bulldog, bulldog, bow, wow, wow!

And yeah, we're probably going to get totally destroyed. But Harvard got totally destroyed in round 1! :-)

So you're not REALLY talking about bowl season, getting rid of all the teams that barely qualified. You're talking about a top-25 (24 or 26 to make the numbers work) teams playing against each other. But the top 12 or so wouldn't want to do it, because it still doesn't mean anything, and they'd want to wait for the playoffs, which means you have teams 12-24 play each other? So 6 games?

Yeah, people eat up early season rankings, but some of them know it's bullshit, and, let's be honest, I'm sure lots of them LOVE seeing their team paste some no-name team 63-3.

Which leaves you with "when money's not tight" - so yeah, but will people really want to shell out to go see their team play someone if they think the ranking is inflated/wrong and they think they might lose? Plus, like I said, maybe the FANS would love to see some of these games, but the top 10-12 schools aren't going to want to play someone too challenging in a meaningless game and risk injuring their players. It's literally WHY they schedule easy teams early in the season.

I know it never seems like it ( myself definitely) but they are shooting almost 71% from the line so far. They were 14/21 (67%) in the game against South Carolina.

I do think they tend to miss more of the critical ones at the end of the game with the result in question.

I agree.

If Congress passes a piece of tax legislation that provides for a new type of deduction in 2027, I don't get to say "I would've been entitled to that deduction if the rule had been in place in 2026. Let me go amend my return."

I'm going off my government contracting training and what I know we do if we terminate a contract. It may be a nuance that they're saying you're not going to collect the full amount and not that you aren't potentially owed damages. Like I said, the party the breaches is usually responsible for something (assuming nothing else changed).

Don't know how much I'll watch, but I'm rooting for Duke. Maybe that will force the ACC to not have a stupid tiebreaking system for their championship. uva losing is just icing on that cake.

I really think that the CFP was too quick on pulling the trigger about the seeding after last year. There's basically no motivation in the B1G game, so both teams are practically guaranteed a first round bye regardless of outcome.

It was a quote in the article on ESPN from whatever legal experts they asked. Their position was that making the entire contract amount the penalty that UGA were doing what is in that quote.

I guess there would need to be provisions if the backup QB becomes the starter -- either by injury or coaching decision. And then how to compensate the original starter.

I'm not against any of this, but I sure don't envy the folks who have to set the system up and maintain it.

A lot has been said above about Neo getting more assertive to the basket and his assists went way up showing he's adapting to what defenses are throwing at him. Good insight by Lt Rob on court differences he had to get used to.
A couple other observations:
1. Hammond saved our griskits and Neo loves him! They are great compliments to each other.
2. Team free throw shooting is gonna lose us some ACC games. That has to get better.
3. Our 3 point shooting needs to improve also. Schutt is streaky, so others need to hit a higher %age.
4. Schutt's touch driving the lane is impressive, I love him mixing that up. Maybe that helps give him get better 3 looks.

Not part of the coaching carousel, but Adam Lechtenberg seems to be doing okay for himself. Maybe he moves up a division soon.

But just for the sake of argument, all parties involved at the time should have been aware of the rules and that playing him in that championship game would affect the redshirt status.

Sucks for him that the rule changed later (in 2024).

I initially thought along the lines of Doug, but your explanation has merit. Also networks should love it - they can market more "big" games because everyone is undefeated coming in and fan optimism is through the roof!
