lets congratulate user Ultimate Quizmaster
so I was looking at old posts about our bball team becuase I wanted our exact ranking of how young this team was. I'm emailing Steve Megaree to lobby for Beilein to get into the top 25 coaches power ranking and I wanted that number to help convince him of the amazing job he has done. Anyway, I clicked on Tim's bball preview he did waaaaay back on november 4th and when I got down to the first comment there was Ultimate Quizmaster's simple post. All it said was Tournament Team. Kudos to you sir............now what are the Mega Millions numbers for tonight?
also because i need to study for my econ stats exam, can anybody tell me how young his team is so I don't have to keep looking?
Either he's a mutha-fuckin-genius, or he was kidding, or he knows nothing about basketball and was taking a complete guess.
considering there's 3 tournaments...
Touche. I was assuming he meant the NCAA Tournament. My bad
What do you think of when someone says "tournament team"
The NIT? I didn't think so...
Kenpom has an experience rating that calculates what (I think) you're looking for. It's meant to track the average eligibility of the players who play. M checks in at 0.90 years of experience, good for 335th out of 345 teams.
And this team could potentially make the tournament? That right there makes me proud to be a Wolverine, and gets me beyond excited for the next 2 basketball seasons. This season sweep of Sparty was just the beginning!
I accept your congrats..thank you very much. Actually I was looking at the same post you were before the season started, but I didn't want to start a thread on it. Since we hadn't really played at that point, I can't say that I knew this team was destined for greatness. I guess I was basing it on a very strong gut reaction and the fact that I had the chance to talk to coach about the team. John Beilein is a fantastic person, and the vibe I got from him was that this team was destined for something no one expected. But sure, I'll take the credit for the season : )
