Georgetown is 7-1 against the spread this year
But a lot of games did not have spreads. So far the only game we haven’t beaten the spread was against Providence.

Need sports gambling lesson
Too lazy to do the homework on the third option (straight up on the moneyline) – anybody feel like educating me?

bet that g'town will win outright, no point spread.
make less money if you are right (because g’town is the favorite), compared to how much you would make if you gave the points.
if you took ‘quette on the moneyline, you’d make extra money because they are expected to lose.

if you think the underdog will win outright, take the moneyline
I will look on your treasures, gypsy. Is this understood?

Prior to the upset
Kenpom had UConn at #28. Quite different from their AP and Coaches poll placement at #8. Just something to consider.
Earmuffs.

Ruthless Teutonic efficiency
on both ends of the court. Fortunately for the world, ruthless Teutonic efficiency is not always a winner in the long run.

Kenpom always loves wisconsin
tempo-free stats reward efficiency. BUT, if we continue to treat games as statistical exercises, it should be no surprise that wisconsin, as a slow, slow team generally underperforms in W-L compared to their kenpom rating. Each game is a smaller sample of possessions for Wisconsin, thus meaning more randomness in W-L binary outcome.
It’d be awesome if the wizards at hoyaprospectus would test that theory: do teams with lower tempos have more divergent outcomes from expectations.
god bless the central limit theorem! #nerd

Pythagorean expectation
Is terrible before you get sufficient data, especially for our of conference foes (read: cupcakes). (Some statisticians would disagree with me on that point).
For instance, the notion that the baskets scored and baskets allowed are independent is weakly false— more and more accurate as you play more games.
What I am saying is that the early season kenpom rankings aren’t going to be terribly accurate.
