Trust me. I know numbers. And Billy Packer doesn’t. Last Sunday when BP started spouting stats as if they were toasts at a wedding just about every one was misused.
It started when he started blathering on about how many more wins ACC, Big East, and Big Ten teams had in the Sweet 16 vs wins by teams in the MVC. Well, gee Billy, maybe they have more wins because they always get more teams in the tourney! That just might influence that stat a bit huh? If you want to compare them and do it fairly try by percentage.
Also, stop complaining about RPI and number of teams from the ACC. The ACC was down this year…when Boston College can come in to your conference and contend, you know it’s a down year. The RPI isn’t the end all be all. Besides, when power conference teams don’t get in they complain that they played in a tougher conference and that’s why their RPI is low. Then if they do get in with a 18-11 record they say it’s because their RPI is so good. Can’t have it both ways boys.
later.

My email to CBS:
Can’t wait to hear what other idiocy Billy PACCker has to spew this Selection Sunday. Judging by his defense of an obvious cheap shot by Duke’s Gerald Henderson as “good hard nosed basketball” (bad pun Billy, Hansbrough’s nose looked like a prosthetic from a ‘Rocky’ film after that play), it looks like the ‘Idiot of March’ is warming up for three weeks of uninformed analysis, insipid pandering to the BCS, and overall mindless self serving drivel packaged as color commentary. Do us a favor please, at least have Phil Martelli on the Selection Show to skewer the pompus ACC-beholden windbag and provide some entertainment during the otherwise predictably soporific show.
Signed,
Billy PACCker is a bigger windbag than Dick Vitale
Packer is an idiot. A kid is on the floor bleeding and Packer neer even acknowledges. You could tell Nance could believe what he was hearing.
