2025-2026 College Basketball General Discussion

Another team that had a bad night yesterday was St John's. UConn led 41-26 at halftime ... and could've won without scoring a single point in the second half, as St. John's finished with a Rick Pitino career-low 40 points. The Red Storm went the final 17:28 without making a shot from the field.

BP Fantasy Baseball est. 2008 (Current Champion = Ahiacitian)

Ok here is my take on categories:

Offense
1. OBP
2. Slug %
3. HR
4. Extra base hits (rewards the doubles hitters)
5. NET stolen bases (rewards smart base running, not volume bullshit)
6. Runs (one raw counting stat that isn't power)

The optimal lineup is balanced, slightly skewed for power but that is the modern game.

Pitching
1. Quality Starts (wins are crazy bullshit stats, they are like Holds for me-nonsense)
2. Saves + Holds (not each separately)
3. ERA
4. WHIP
5. k/9 (prevents the low leverage middle reliever from dominating via K%)
6. K's (rewards volume K's from starters but the rest of the rules punish you for streaming or dominating with a bunch of middle relievers)

With the 18 IP minimum this really changes the pitching dynamic from the last few years imo. A true K heavy starting ace is now the most valuable piece on the board (pitching wise).

I don't offer this up lightly, it's the exact opposite of what I have wanted to see because it was easy for me to compete with a bunch of bullpen scrubs and focus on hitters (not that it helped my pack of sissies any)

Thoughts?

B1G (Official Thread)

Brad Banks played at Iowa in 2001-2002 and was a beast. Won the Davey O'Brien award in 2002 and had a decent career in the Canadian league.
If you recall, even though the Bucks won the Natty that year, they shared the B1G title because Iowa and OSU were both undefeated and didn't play each other. I always wished we could have seen that game played.
I remember him now. Thank you. Yes, I remember sharing the Big Ten title with Iowa. I'd forgotten that Brad Banks was the name of their quarterback that year.
