Wow never really looked at it that way -1 to =1 IN LINEAR MATH =2 BUT YOU BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE =1. i LIKE IT. Thats what I mean thinking outside the box.

That's true. In linear math, you have to account for the zero, but in reality, that's a tie, which can't happen in basketball. So, you can throw that out.

I'm a conspiracy theorist when it comes to this hobby. That's why your plays have appealed to me in the first place. I've used your method with a different set of power rating numbers with some success this season. I've added a wrinkle of my own involving line moves to strengthen my plays. I had Notre Dame as a play last night under my version of the system. Your play tonight falls into both systems like Notre Dame did, which is why I am in love with your play.

As a weaker play in my version of the system, I like Northern Arizona +24 tonight, but the line hasn't moved where I usually check to strengthen or eliminate the play.

How do you take UMass when UConn is playing so great right now. Simply put, UConn is playing at a whole other level. I hope your system works, but the Huskies are just too good of a team.

Good luck,
Dennis Kang

billy,
love the system and good luck this year. i obviously don't post much, just have poked around in the forum this year and last. in fact, it started to get entertaining last year hearing everyone ask the same damn question everytime you posted.

someone mentioned it above, so i wanted to see if you would expand on it a little. you mentioned earlier that in the tulane/tcu game last night, you called it a neutral site so tulane wasn't rewarded anything for home court advantage. in your system, does every home team get the same point advantage in your system? for example, in your system is the home court advantage of a team like duke the same as the home court advantage of a team like tcu (my alma mater, which seems to have a terrible team and NO home court advantage)?

appreciate the work you do and posts you make. again, best of luck this year.

Yup,

That was my bad beat..up 23 with a minute to go...missed foul shots, the classic back door 3 and then dribble the last 20 seconds off the clock and stop playing..
Congrats....to the Winners
