That was fantastic.

We got a little sloppy at the end of the first half and I was glad to see KK lose his shit on the team. Glad we got refocused. He also benched T at one point for dumb play. I can't remember what it was.

^^ I’m assuming he’s just not ready for ACC play. But I don’t see any benefit in redshirting him. Because it seems highly unlikely that he’ll be here for 4 years. So redshirting him does little to aid in his development. Maybe he just sucks? But a 30 point blowout win would be a fine time to get him some minutes.

I’m gonna start this post by saying bracketology at this stage is dumb. I also think the NET is a flawed system.

But can somebody explain why most people have Duke as a 6 ish seed and State as an 8 ish seed? Bracket matrix shows Duke’s average seed as 6.4 and as high as 5 in lots of brackets. It shows State’s average seed as 8.2 with the highest being 6 (but only in 1 bracket. 7-10 in basically every other bracket and a couple as low as an 11). They also show UNC with an average of 7.43. And UNC is 1-6 in Q1 games. I know this is all pointless right now, but I just don’t get it.

Resumes don’t look that different to me.
Duke vs Q1: 3-6
State vs Q1: 3-4

Duke vs Q2: 3-0
State vs Q2: 2-1

Duke vs Q3: 2-0
State vs Q3: 4-0

Duke vs Q4: 8-0
State vs Q4: 9-0

Because Duke has more Q1 games, I’m assuming their SOS would grade out tougher than ours. But the NCAA Net ranking website doesn’t display SOS.

I think duke’s best win would be over Xavier (26 in NET). Our best win would be over Duke (22 in NET). Obviously we have a Q2 L, Duke doesn’t have a loss worse than a Q1 L. I guess I’m just not seeing a stark difference in resumes. But the projections would indicate that Duke is about 2 seed lines better.

Name recognition? They believe that both teams will revert to the mean. ie, they think we are overperforming (I don't) and duke is underperforming at the moment.

I don't know if they want a redshirt or what but when you have KK saying he's not sure he will play this year then I doubt he will. Also the chemistry/approach seems to be working currently so maybe don't rock the boat.

My guess is his defense isn't up to par. Guy has been on campus for a little over a month. Trying to get him to learn how to play team defense at the college level in the middle of a season is nearly impossible. That and he weighs like 80 pounds. But mostly the learning curve between HS and college with absolutely no transition time.

Also he’s good, but it’s not like he was a top 10 recruit or a one and done prospect. I bet he’s still here at least two full seasons before getting drafted. He’s going to need to bulk up a bit first…he’s rail thin and got pushed around by a lot of dudes he went up against in HS. Probably wise to RS him rather than burning a year of eligibility playing a handful of garbage minutes that won’t help long-term if he’s not ready to compete.

I would hope bracketologists are including future predicted results, not just past known results, so maybe Duke is predicted to finish out better than us.

But also, I'd be curious comparing our q3/4 resumes to get a better idea of SOS. It's a common problem with Keatts at bubble time that he loves two schedule those sub 300 teams, which probably torpedoes our SOS. Kenpom isnt net but they put dukes NCSOS at 75 and ours at 313!!!

Well actually....

Also, there's absolutely no reason to worry about "burning a year of eligibility." The guy isn't going to play 4 seasons here. If he does, it means he isn't very good and we'd be better off using his spot on someone else.

Gotta schedule smarter. Part of it is luck, I’m sure. But Duke has 8 Q4 games. And we have 9. So it’s not really a situation where we loaded up on Q4 games and Duke avoided them. (This does include acc games, to be fair). But obviously playing teams in the upper 100s helps your SOS look better. Playing teams in the 300s makes your SOS look worse. But both are Q4 opponents.

It’s easy to say that now, but he’s definitely not a lock for the NBA and you never know what’s going to happen with injuries or how he will develop. Pretty pointless to waste eligibility for a few garbage minutes at the end of a season, regardless of how likely he is to need that year down the road. Look at Yurtseven…he was ranked a bit higher out of HS and was projected as a potential one/two and done but ended up in college for 4 years (sat out one of those)…went undrafted (but signed as a FA).

In modern college basketball, you should never ever worry about burning a redshirt year. Ever. The amount of players who will use up their eligibility at one school is low. If a guy is ready to contribute, he should play even if it's only a minute a game. Miranda is obviously not ready to contribute. But if he gets to that point sometime later in the season, by all means he should play.

^I'm pretty sure mid-season SOS rankings for kenpom are basically completely worthless.

^^agree. Redshirts in college bball these days are basically only useful in the case of injury.

It's still curious that we can't find ANY minutes for him? I believe there have even been games since he has been eligible where we played the walk-ons.

wasn't it said at some point he had been (or still was) injured? So that, conditioning, late to campus could all contribute to that. Yeah, no reason to redshirt, maybe we'll see him later in the season (there's still a lot to go... especially if we go far in the ACC tournament and make the NCAA)

Whether he redshirts or not, maybe the extra time on campus will help him develop for next season as look to defend our ACC and NCAA titles.

^^^you could say the same about mid-season brackets or NET (or any really) ranking. They're worthwhile insofar as letting you know where you stand today. But of course a million things can change bw now and selection Sunday.

One of the state sites had their click baity headline of how we have cemented our place in these brackets, but if we lose our next 4 that cement will crumble right away!

It's non conference, they are going to be inflated bc it's in their favor to play major conferences opponents more often, who will typically be higher rated. I haven't reviewed APBs schedule to validate this but it seems plausible.

KK himself said that they may redshirt him:

_________________________________

Isaiah Miranda arrived at NC State as a highly-touted mid-year enrollee. The Wolfpack head coach confirmed that the freshman big man might redshirt as the former four-star recruit prepares himself for basketball at the Division-I level.

“He’s banged up,” Keatts said. “There is a chance that Isaiah Miranda could be a redshirt.”

Keatts emphasized that the timing of Miranda’s arrival occurring close to Mahorcic was a coincidence. The freshman was already planning on enrolling and just had not publicly announced the decision yet. While he did not completely close the door on Miranda playing this season, he did elaborate on his expectations for the elite recruit.

“I don’t know if it’s realistic for us to think that he’s going to come in and be an impact guy,” Keatts said. “Could he help? Possibly. We haven’t made the decision, but it is a possibility that he could redshirt.”

https://www.on3.com/teams/nc-state-wolfpack/news/kevin-keatts-shares-updates-on-dusan-mahorcic-jack-clark-and-isaiah-miranda/

If he didn't play in a 30-point blowout win then he's not playing any this year.

I know Keatts has said that.

I also don't agree with your point that if he hasn't played yet then he's definitely not going to this season. There is no reason to not play him solely to preserve a redshirt season. If he's healthy and can contribute in March, he should absolutely play.

^^^^ I guess it at least... tracks with their mo.

FSU game was awesome. Best, most complete performance by us I've seen in a long time. FSU didn't get past 4 points until <10 min left in the first half, and I don't think they ever got closer than maybe 18, and that was I think right at the end of the first half and start of the 2nd. Hopefully we keep that mojo. Historically we've had a hard time against FSU and teams like them because we can't match with their size. It was nice to see that not be an issue the other night.

^^Nope basketball is different…if you play even a single minute then you can’t redshirt unless it’s a medical redshirt situation.

Football is 30% of scheduled games (so it works out to 4 for a 12 game schedule), but that's still a relatively recent rule change.

Regardless, no one should be worried about not playing Miranda solely to preserve a year of eligibility.

^^I, too, hope we continue to score >1.3 points per possession every game (this is not actually sustainable)
