I'm very happy with all the new analytical work being done by people like Ken Pomeroy, and the way this work has been incorporated by coaches. For me, one of the main differences about basketball in the 2010's is that I had a much clearer picture of what was actually happening, and which teams were really good. For example, UK's team in 2004 was a number 1 seed, and was ranked high in the polls, but it wasn't actually that good. It had been very lucky in a number of close games. But I didn't know any of this, and so I was devastated when UK lost in the second round to UAB. Now I have a much better sense of how the game actually works. So that is a huge improvement that took place in the last decade.GoHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122010542579322600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1697242053625998558.post-32849075499082513952019-08-11T20:19:26.742-04:002019-08-11T20:19:26.742-04:00So how good was UK during the 2010's?
