This Week's Links (2/23-2/27)

Basketball Prospectus' John Gasaway is chatting at noon today.

It won't get nearly as much play, but this is essentially the equivalent of being Pitt at home.

Dave Neal absolutely obliterated Nolan Smith. And I think A.J. Price's knee is okay.

LeBron is good.

More on Michael Lewis' Battier profile at Basketball Prospectus and the WSJ.

So if I'm reading that right, Memphis would beat Pitt by 6 in Memphis?

And going further, Pitt is only about 5% better than UAB (Pomeroy's homecourt adjustment x 2)?

If this is way off-base, correct me, and we'll blame it on Happy Hour being close...

According to Pomeroy, right.

I see where you're going with this, but I don't know that that's a meaningful way to put it. Pomeroy has Pitt beating UAB by 8.2 points on a neutral floor.

too bad Kansas had to make their move on a Sunday when all the odds are down-I'd imagine they would've had value at 40-1
