I didn’t realize NC Central’s campus was small. Also, doesn’t ratface’s grandson chauffeur you anyway?

It’s funny. I actually also went to a college with a very compact campus with plenty of stuff to do within 2 blocks. (Movies, Grocery stores, 15 food places, etc.) I had visited various “beautiful” campuses that had lots of greenery and architecture but that appealed to me not at all as a student needing to get to class and the basketball facilities.
Gym was a 2 minute slow walk from the dorm as was the dining hall and 90% of classes less than a 5 min walk.

haha…It’s one thing to get let off because nobody wants to punish schools for things that are kinda legal now. But to troll afterwards takes stones.

Those KenPom poll results out now (can we talk about how dystopian the H.U.M.A.N. acronym sounds?) @haney @AdventiveQuasar

Virginia clocking in at 29. Feels about right to me, a lowercase human.

Sounds like something an AI would say.

“How do you do, fellow humans?”

Interesting. It’s pretty similar to other human polls I’ve seen, with a few outliers:

  • 6 - Gonzaga. Seems high, but maybe folks just assume they’ll be good b/c they been top 5 or so for years
  • 20 - FAU. Lower than others, but I think 20 is probably more accurate.
  • 40 - St John’s. Lower than I’ve seen. Maybe fans are skeptical in Pitino’s first year? Where pundits assume he’ll be good?

(and yes, the name is very dystopian)

Here are Ken’s thoughts. Interesting that he says FAU was almost his sole motivation for doing this.

On the ACC front, the Florida St optimism and Notre Dame extreme optimism stood out to me. I wonder if ND in particular benefited from the “well they are a power conference team, they’re probably better than the best Sun Belt team” kind of brand-name approximation of team strength.

Yeah, I think so. There are some calcified opinions in this: ND is gonna be terrible, but I don’t think most people realize. BC might be more like top 100, but nobody has really paid attention. But Louisville being terrible is very well know. Lol!
