    Can we kill the Pitt love once and for all?

    Any team that leads 19-3 on their home court and somehow still loses by 9 to a mediocre opponent doesn't deserve the recognition and attention your advanced stats have been giving them. You've been leading us off a cliff time and time again -- especially at home, where they're now an inexplicable 3-8 ATS -- and it's costing us way too much money.

    Sincerely,

    What do you expect from him exactly? What do you think you get for a $19.95 subscription fee? Perfection?

    This has been an extremely wacky season. This is my worst in the past 3 years for sure, I've just decreased my units and played a lot more halves.

    All you have to do is game the formula. Blowout in a couple games is sufficient to move that team up.

    I'm saying this in jest, and as a joke because I know Vegas is lazy when it comes to college hoop lines. They're pretty blatant about taking his legwork and running with it. That's why it's funny that when there is actually a loophole in his system -- i.e., for a team like Pitt -- oddsmakers still stubbornly follow him no matter what.

    I don't see it either. Pitt's not a terrible team -- just mediocre. Why they fit so well into his love-o-meter is beyond me.

    POM wasn't the only one. Dok had them an easy 10 point fav over ND, and Sag was the same. Early on it looked like they were spot on but true colors came through(?). I'm also a touch curious what in their formulas bumped them up so high. We'll never know either.....

    If anything, the refs were trying to hand that one to Nova. 36 free throw attempts to Rutgers 15 Prob is, Nova only made 25 (I say only b/c it was 69% and I'm pissed they didn't make 3 more for my cover).

    What about that kstate game. Holy shit with the fouls. Kstate up by 21 refs putting west v at the line every trip down the court. Then that oger center his a deuce to break the spread, and when west v intentionally fouls kstate to send em to th_e line the refs don't call it. Lose by a half point. Those are the worst.

    Attention to all, KP's website used only be used for base statistical research, nothing more. Anyone betting on this predicted score will be flushing their money down the toilet.

    Compare KenPom's sides and totals to Vegas and get back to me on the "nothing more" part.
