Pretty much every sports blogger is going to be posting his or her NCAA Tournament bracket this week. I’ll be doing that too, but not in this post. I’ll be saving my bracket post for the last possible moment on Thursday, since I plan on entering approximately four million different pools and need to maintain […]

06-07: The Year in SUPER
A while back, I introduced a stat that I decided to call SUPER, which is short for Schedule-Adjusted Usage-Rate-Weighted Player Efficiency Rating (PER). The PER component was created by John Hollinger of ESPN.com, and I made two other relatively simple adjustments for schedule strength (something that’s not as important in the NBA, where Hollinger does […]

Alabama-Huntsville edged Delta State 74-69 in the early evening game, advancing to face Henderson State on Friday.
