Two in the top 15 seems pretty good
Here are the top projected three-point shooters in college basketball this season at EvanMiya.com: Kentucky's Milan Momcilovic has the highest predicted 3PT% in the nation.

Here’s a breakdown of SLU’s non conference opponents and their projected efficiency. My goal for SLU would be: - Go minimum 3-3 against the teams in that upper tier, but 4-2 is certainly doable - Go unbeaten against the rest That’s 9-3/10-2 against non-con D1 comp #SLU

No @A10MBB coaches in the leaders in win probability added from challenges last season, so I pulled them all out from last season here. I was hesitant to read much into coaches with -WPA as it’s a small sample so one challenge going against you could sink your total.

With preseason projections rolling out, I thought it would be interesting to see how different sites are projecting the Atlantic 10 VCU is rated the best by a comfortable margin via Torvik and EvanMiya, with SLU narrowly edging them out on KenPom

Other observations: - Projections are all over the place on George Washington - KenPom is much higher on Fordham and much lower on Bonaventure compared to the other sites - EvanMiya is significantly higher on Loyola Chicago

Great deep dive on roster spending for this upcoming basketball season. It’s only P5, but based on the figures thrown around this offseason, I would assume SLU falls somewhere in this spending tier:
A deep dive with @MattNorlander into how much each high-major basketball roster costs. It ranges from $5 million to over $25 million. The top dawgs: Duke, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Louisville, Michigan, UNC, St. John's, Tennessee, Texas and Texas Tech cbssports.com/college-basket…

If you'd like to watch the greatest show in the Atlantic 10, these are the states you'll catch them! (That little 1 over Maryland is actually D.C.) #slu

I’ll allow it
In Robbie Avila's court filing, the petition states, "Mr. Avila seeks narrow relief from the NCAA’s roster limitations so that he can play for SLU during the 2026-27 season."

I mentioned this in my thread yesterday but I found the part about “mastery shots” to be super interesting
For all of my fellow analytical nerds or fans that want to learn more about how math gets used in CBB.... Here is 14 minutes of (Dr/professor) Josh Schertz teaching me more analytics in the classroom on how he builds a roster & system👨‍🔬 @SaintLouisMBB @JoshSchertzSLU

Legitimately a must watch for any fan of basketball at any level. Analytics comes with the stigma of being complicated to understand, but this is the single best summary a coach can give of the goals of the subject, and how a team uses them to achieve success.

Thread of some stuff I enjoyed hearing in this video (go watch by the way) 🧵:
Saint Louis could be truly ELITE not only this year but also LONG TERM. Josh Schertz analytics, the SLU Splash Bros & great returners. Take a look inside one of the best non power programs in college basketball @SaintLouisMBB youtu.be/YJeOCV2JdbQ?si=1KxP…

“Hunting great” Good offenses can stress you with pace but also beat you with efficiency when the transition looks aren’t there Longer possessions tend to = worse offense, but that shouldn’t stop you from finding the right shot
