Baylor Champs vs. Kareem's UCLA to Preview Tonight's ESPN Match-up

In tonight's great ESPN doubleheader, Baylor is favored by one against UCLA at 5:30 pm ET, then Gonzaga is favored by one against Kentucky at 7:30 p.m. ET. We mirrored the double header this weekend by taking all-time match-ups of the same schools in the Value Add Basketball Game. Kentucky 1996 already beat Gonzaga 2017 by a 81-75 score, and now we match up Kareem's 1967 UCLA squad against the recent 2021 Baylor champs - definitely a height against speed match-up.

One thing I should have made clear is you do not need to kill a ream of paper to print all 136 teams if you just want to play a match-up there or there. You just go to the google sheet of all 136 teams and see what pages each team is on - in this case Baylor is page 9 and Kareem's UCLA squad is page 117. You go to print and enter those pages, and have the two teams you want for a game. You do need to also print this scoresheet to play a game.

I'm mainly trying to go through and get any of the great teams up to at least three games played. 

Note we include regularly: Click on the game to play yourself - it contains everything you need to play the Value Add Basketball game, which lets you pit any of 136 great all-time college teams against each other. To pick your two teams it is best to click on this Google doc and print the pages of the teams you want (each team is one page). We track the games we play on this google sheet.

I have shown how you can put coins on the players to keep track of who is in the game and use dimes for those who get the ball on a 6, 7 or 8 roll on the 8-sided die. Another way to do it is write out your line-up and on which possession you will change players. We did that for this game and here is the line-up for each team.

On the 8-sided die, if the roll is a 1-5, then the ball goes to the player based on who is in that column. If the roll is 6, 7 or 8 then look for that number - only the players with an extra number on their actual card above can have an extra number, but as you see Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has two extra numbers so actually gets the ball on a 5, 7 or 8.

CBS 247 Post Breaking Down the Brackets

 https://247sports.com/college/marquette/Article/Pudner-Assesses-MUs-momentum-into-the-NCAA-Tournament-184374185/

My phone has been blowing up asking if I will be emailing and posting brackets tonight, which I will. In this CBS/247 piece I break down the rankings of all tournament teams based on how healthy and good the team is they are putting on the court, coaches, experienced guards, proven ability to win tough games away from home and NBA-caliber players on their team. If you want an email breakdown just send me one at johnp@takebackaction.org or watch for posts.

SMU has lost and if Texas A&M doesn't rally from double digits down then both will wait nervously to see if they are picked for the tournament tonight.

March Madness 2: Coaches with Deepest March Madness Runs

The second key factor in winning March Madness games is if a team's coach has one games and made runs in the past. 

Before picking that big upset, consider that 72% of Division I NCAA teams are coached by a team that has NEVER won a single NCAA tournament game. 

We clicked on the coaches for all 358 teams in www.kenpom.com and realized 257 of 358 never advanced past Round 1 (R1). To make it much easier for you, if you simply search this blog for a team you are considering picking, and nothing is found, then the teams coach has never won a tournament game while coaching that team or any previously teams. We set up a rating system for each coaches' deep runs, but before we explain that, we will start with the seven coaches who get a "10." These seven coaches are the only ones who have both won an NCAA title and taken a second team at least to the championship game. Some have won more than one, but once a coach has taken at least two teams to the title game and won it at least once, we give him a "10."

 

Team	Conf	Current coach	Deep Run Rating
Duke	ACC	Mike Krzyzewski	10
Iona	MAAC	Rick Pitino	10
Kansas	B12	Bill Self	10
Kentucky	SEC	John Calipari	10
Michigan St.	B10	Tom Izzo	10
Syracuse	ACC	Jim Boeheim	10
Villanova	BE	Jay Wright	10

The next 67 coaches have won at least two tournament games at some point in their coaching career. To rate them in order, we give them credit for their two deepest tournament runs, starting with their best run: 7 points if the coach won the National Title. 6 pionts if the coach took a team to the title game but lost. 5 points if the coach took the team to the Final 4. 4 points if the coach took the team to the Elite 8. 3 points if the coach took the team to the Sweet 16. 2 points if the coach won a game to go to the second round. 

To give more credit to coaches who had more than one run, we then looked at each coaches second deepest run and added the following number of points: 3 points for making a second title game (whether they won or lost). 2 points for making it to the Elite 8 or Final 4. 1 point for winning at least one game in a second tournament. When you add these points together the seven listed on the table above are the only ones who get a "10" for the championship and at least one extra trip to the title game, but the following coaches all won at least two tournament games (if that is all then they get a "3" whether it was two wins in one tournament or a single win in two different touranments) all the way up to 9 points for a title run and another run to at least the Elite 8, etc.

Do note that we put (left) by coaches from this season who have won more than one tournament game but have left their program listed. That includes Tom Crean from Georgia, Chris Mack at Louisville and Cuonzo Martin from Missouri. It also includes coaches who had runs at big problem years ago and are finishing at smaller programs such as Mike Davis (Indiana run but now at Detroit Mercy), Mark Gottfried (Alabama runs but now at Cal St. Northridge) and Cliff Ellis (National Coach of the Year at Auburn in 1999 and now at Coastal Carolina). Finding out where coaches had gone made this a fun though time consuming effort.

The following are the 30 coaches who have won one tournament game, but only one. the first win is the toughest, so a coach on this list is probably more likely to pull an upset than a coach who has never won a tournament game.

The 257 teams with coaches who have never won an NCAA tournament game are not listed, but if you didn't find a team you are considering in a search, then their coach has never won a tournament game.

March Madness 1: Teams with Most NBA Talent

The first of a series of pieces will will post this weekend to help you fill out your March Madness brackets regards how much future NBA talent a team can put on the court. Fans tend to overestimate how many of their players will be in the NBA. In fact, only about 40 of the 4,000+ players on the court this year will be playing in the NBA within a couple of years.

This weekend we will update www.valueaddbasketball.com with a column for the percent chance a player will make the NBA. Auburn's Jabari Smith has the highest rating at 99, meaning he has a 99% chance of making the NBA (due to injuries etc., we never give 100%).

To determine how many players from a team will make the NBA we add up the percentage for each of their players with at least a 20% chance of making the NBA. His teammate Walker Kessler has an 87% chance, Devan Cambridge at 63% chance and Allen Flanigan a 40% chance. Add the odds - 99% + 87% + 63% + 40% = 289% - meaning we would expect 2.89 current Auburn players to make the NBA.

That's the 9th most future NBA talent of either team, with Duke (4.74) edging out Kentucky (4.54), Gonzaga (4.36) and an underachieving Memphis (3.94) for the most talent on the court.

Here is the whole list of teams with at least one player with at least a 20% chance of making the League. You can look up which players on each team have a chance at www.valueaddbasketball.com.

Kareem's 1967 UCLA and Battier's 2001 Duke Headline New VABG Cards

 The 30 new all-time great teams are now available for the Value Add Basketball Game. You can access the pdf of player cards via this google doc. The two best teams appear to be Kareem's 1967 UCLA team, and Duke's 2001 team, who certainly appear they could be close matches for the two championship teams from our original game and 98 teams. 

A couple of notes on the new cards, which can still be used against teams in the old cards:

1. We went to a larger point 8 font, to make them easier to read.

2. We added the height and points per game at the top of every card.

3. In addition the Stamina (how many of the 44 game possessions the player can play before getting tired) we went through and gave suggestions on which actual possessions you may choose to use the player. See notes on player rotations and when a player tires below the picture of team cards:

STAMINA CONTINUED:

a. Basic rest rules. To keep it simple, you can simply play the bottom five reserves the first seven possessions of the game - Possessions 44 to 38 - and then play the starters for the last 37 possessions.

b. You can follow the suggestions next to Stamina, in which case UCLA's point guards would include Don Saffer for possessions 44 to 37, Gene Sutherland on possessions 36 to 32, and then starter Mike Warren from possessions 31 to 1. Players with (None) listed by them might just come into a game if someone fouls out or a different mix is needed (a good 3-point shooter perhaps).

c. You are free to substitute players in any order you want for a more advanced game, just keep in mind the reduction in effectiveness if they play too many possessions. If a player is in the game for more possessions than his stamina, then every die roll is adjusted one against him. So if Duke's Matt Christiansen plays a 10th possession then a 13 when he is on defense is changed to a 14 and no longer a steal, or a 15 when trying to score is changed to a 16 and he misses the shot, and a rebound of 2 to him is changed to a 3 and he no longer gets the rebound, etc. If he plays at least twice as many possessions as his stamina (18th possession) then all numbers are adjusted by two.

d. For teams that played at a very high tempo, we also added a line at the bottom of the cards indicating you have the option of adding possessions at the start of the game. Duke 2001 is a +3, so if you use this option you use an extra scoresheet for the first three possessions before going to possession 44. We suggest using all reserves for one-third of extra possessions, which would only be one of three possessions if Duke 2001 was playing - but reserves all played an extra 10 possessions and starters an extra 31 possessions in the 138-116 win by Loyola Marymount 1990 (+26) against Kentucky 1970 (+5).

36 New All-Time Great College Teams for Kick-off of New Season

Our Value Add Basketball Game is by far our most popular blog of all time. Our play-by-play of Bill Walton's UCLA team defeated Michael Jordan's UNC team for the title, also shows the semifinals with the recent Villanova champs and a surprise team in Draymond Greene's Michigan State team, but the 55,700 who downloaded the game and 98 all-time great teams likely had any combination of results.

With the real college basketball season kicking off Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET, we are preparing 30 additional all-time great teams. While most great teams were included in the original set, we limited team game to one team per school from each century (the 20th and 21st) which led to including Bill Walton's undefeated UCLA team instead of Lew Alcindor's one loss UCLA team five years earlier and some great Duke teams and others being left out.

We decided to add 30 more teams to the all-time great teams in the game, allowing schools to have more than one team in a century if one of the following things was true; 1) an additional team from the same school was ranked as one of the top 50 schools in the country by this Bleacher Report story, a team featured one of the 50 greatest college players of all time according to this story, or a team had a great year last year that I wanted to add.

The following are the 36 new teams and what motivated us to add them to the game in the coming days.

Nova Post 1st Ever 100 pt VABG Game Behind Suns' Bridges and Bucks' DiVincenzo

Since we invented the Value Add Basketball Game in February 2019, we have played a couple of hundred games, and had never had a team score 100 points in regulation until today. The game took 44 minutes to play - with the first card flipped at 1 p.m. and final card at 1:44 p.m.

The team that accomplished it was the only team with two players in the NBA Finals, Phoenix Suns' starter Mikal Bridges and injured Milwaukee Buck Donte DiVincenzo, from our 2-seed and the National Champion 2018 Villanova team.

The victim was the 2020 Creighton team, which does have a very poor defense (Adj. Def 0, worse than the average team's -3) but is happy to simply outscore opponents. The Blue Jays team in the game today actually won our 68-team Value Add Basketball Game championship after Covid cancelled their real Big East tournament game at halftime and March Madness. Ironically, that week I had breakfast with their point guard Marcus Zagarowski's parents as few blocks from Madison Square Gardne in disbelief that the hottest team in basketball (they had improved from 23rd to 7th in one month in the AP poll) would not have a chance at a real run as Covid collapses the world around us.

While one group of former Creighton players participated in The Basketball Tournament (TBT) airing on ESPN, as the Omaha Blue Crew, the VABG Creighton 2020 player cards were in our 8-team NBA Finals college alumni tournament due to Phoenix Sun Ty-shon Alexander, one if the trio of great 3-point shooting guards along with Zegarowski and Mitch Ballock. Those three all have the highest possible endurance of 44, meaning they play all 44 possessions of a VABG game.

At 1 p.m. Central today we flipped the first card in 7-seed Creighton's game against fellow Big East team and 3-seed Villanova, the 2018 national champs.

Zegarowski and Alexander combined for 4 first half 3-pointers and then Alexander hit another one to open the second half to give the Blue Jays a 39-34 lead in the upset big against the 2-seed Nova.

And then Villanova started to look like the team that blitzed Michigan in the 2018 National Title game with a 44-17 first half before cruising to victory. DiVincenzo hit a 3-pointer, then immediately stole the ball and fed it to center Spellman on a dunk plus foul to give Villanova their first lead of the game 41-39 with 18:30 to play. At the 8:17 mark Bridges had a steal, and was fouled on a dunk, hitting the free throw to make it 74-51 Nova less than 12 minutes after they trailed.

As usual., Nova won the turnover battle big 17-7, and doubled Creighton in the second half 72-36 for the most scoring in a half ever in a VABG game for an offensive efficiency of 1.95 points per trip (33 possessions in the second half, and there were a total of four extra in this game for fouls and steal/fast breaks in the final 9 possessions.

It was the first time a team every scored 100 points in regulation in a VABG game, with the final score of 106-72.

Villanova 2018 represents the Big East in our semifinal against another Big Ten foe, the 2015 Wisconsin team of Frank Kaminsky that stunned the Kentucky team that many considered the greatest team in history in the Final Four that year.

The other semifinal is an all-ACC game, with the 2019 champion Virginia Cavaliers facing the only upset winner of our opening rounds and only 2020 team, the 5-seed Louisville 2020 team upset Chris Paul's 4-seed Wake Forest 2005 team 80-79.

Suns Big Men in B10 Showdown - MD vs. WI

A Big Ten showdown in our NBA Finals alumni team featured two current Phoenix Suns. 

Rookie big man Jalen Smith brought his 2020 Maryland team with the best inside-outside duo with his point guard Anthony Cowan against teammate big man Frank Kaminisky and his 2015 Wisconsin team that won a stunner in the 2015 Final 4 against a Kentucky team many considered the greatest team in history.

We start this blog by setting up the teams. Here is who we put in the game at the beginning (44th possession) and leaving Smith on the bench for the first three possessions so that he could then play the final 41 possessions of the game. Here is the line-up.

The coins are the five players in the game, and we drew in the order the get the ball on the 8-sided die or top reading on the fast action card, with a roll of 1 to Cowan, 2 to Ayala, 3 to Scott, 4 to 2021 Big Ten defensive player and now Marquette player Morsell and 5 to Mitchell.

The dimes only go to players with a 2nd number on the "gets ball on" reading on the player card, so a 6 alos goes to Cowan, a 7 to Morsell and 8 to Mitchell.

We then put coins on the players who will start on the court for Wisconsin, and we chose:

1 to Jackson, 2 to Gasser, 3 to Hayes, 4 to Kaminsky and 5 to Dukan.

You may notice the "play time" space was accidentally left blank, which leaves two options. The simple option in any game is to play the bottom row from possession 44 to 38, and then the top row from 37 to 1, the final possession.

However we took the other option of adding the stamina for each player by going to www.kenpom.com and then taking half the % minutes number (Kaminski's 82% min means he can play 41 of the 44 possessions without getting tired.

By the time we made it to the 26th possession to go, wisconsin led 48-40 all all the starters were in the game with enough duration to play the last 26 possessions without getting tired.

However we did have one unplanned substitution with 10 possessions left. Cowan drew a 5th foul on WI PG Koenig.

We could have brought Jackson back in the game, but he had already played 14 possessions earlier in the game, so only had 2 possessions left st full strength of his 16 possessions.

However, Zak Showalter had not played and can play up to 8 possessions, so we decided to play him from the 10th to the 3rd possession to go, and then save Jackson's final two possessions at full strenght for the final two possessions of the game.

Surprisingly Zak would end up sealing the game with a 4-point play with 2 minutes to play to give the Badgers a 77-65 lead.

Cowan (26 points) and Smith (25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 blocked shots) were an unbelievable inside-outside duo we would have loved to see in the cancelled 2020 March Madness.

However, they received no help as Wiggins (7 points) was the only other Terp to score besides the 2 automatic points when we start at 20-20.

The game was closer than the final score indicated, as Cowan's scored with 7:03 left to cut it to 63-60, but they could get no closer.

However, the Badgers played their normal balanced game with only 8 total turnovers.

Kaminsky led the way with 14 points and 10 rebounds, but all 5 starters had double figures in addition to the 6 from showalter and another 8 from Jackson off the bench.

We did not plan to line up the conferences, the seeding just worked out that way.

One semifinal is an ACC semifinal, with UVA's national champs taking on the Louisville 2020 team that nudged Chris Paul's 2005 Wake Forest team 80-79.

With the Wisconsin win above the Big Ten clash, they face the winner of a Big East clash between 2018 national champs Villanova and the one other actual NBA Finals star Bridges against the Creighton team that won our 2020 March Madness title over Duke.

We have no way of knowing who would have one thr tournament that covid ruined, but Creighton was by far the hottest team entering the tournament - having risen for  23rd to 7th in the final month of the season, so the threes should be flying.

UVa Diakite D Overcomes Utah St. Queta Rebounding

Future defensive player of the year Neemias Queta's 11 points, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots helped 8-seed Utah State dominate #1 seed 40-30 on the boards. Utah State made the "NBA Finals Alumni Tournament due to Sam Merrill being in the finals. Queta's player card appears by the UVa starting line-up further down, and the following is from the Utah State AD page - showing his 2-handed block.

The fun battle at center featured Queta against the NBA Finals player from UVa's 2019 team, Mamadi Diakite, who blocked 5 shots as part of a suffocating defense that led UVa 60-45 win. The Cavs will face the 5-seed Louisville 2020 team thwt snuck out a much higher scoring game in an 80-79 thriller over Chris Paul's 2005 Wake Forest team.

While UVa's weakness is rebounding, they are extremely tough to beat for a couple if reasons. In addition to Diakite's huge 21-29 blocked shot range, all the starters have strong steal ranges (11-14 to 11-17) and Jerome, Hunter and Guy have great endurance, all playing all 44 possessions (44-1) in the game.

Most important however is the team defense of -9. The Utah State dunk range is 51-54, but the first -4 takes awayball the dunk numbers and extra -5 of the -9 reverses the range to make it a 51-55 Stop range - meaning an automatic turnover on those numbers.

Overall the Cavs forced 21 turnovers to knly 11 for Utah State as part of the suffocating defense.

We also tried a video to show how we shuffle the three fast action cards we used for this game ra5her than the dice.

Preseason All-Conference Teams Listed, Added to www.valueaddbasketball.com

As we update the end of February www.valueaddbasketball.com ratings, we are adding two items. The NBA Ratings will once again appear in the far right column. We are also adding PreAllConf phrase in the Notes field for all players who were picked as a pre-season All Conference player. That note will be followed by a 1 for 1st team pre-season All Conference, a 2 for 2nd team all-conference and a 3 for 3rd team or other (e.g. PreAllConf1 means 1st team all-conference). We will also add an "MVP" if the player was chosen the pre-season Player of the Year or a "All-Def" if he was named to an All-Defensive team or as the top defender in the conference before the call.

We are also tracking injuries to incorporate from this injury report.

Here are the players by conference who will receive on of those notes, with the "Level" indicating which team they made, but a "0" means they were not only 1st team but also Player of the Year.
