NBA Great Camby Leads UMass 1996 vs. Liberty & No. 2 Scorer McGhee

I don't usually mix my professional life with this fun sports blog page, but at the risk of losing half my readers, our next Value Add Basketball Game tournament starts with a personally interesting match-up for me as I start a new faith-based organization. Liberty University has been a faith-based leader from the days of Jerry Falwell to DC Talk concerts and beyond, while their opponent is the first of three schools taken to the Final Four by John Calipari, who goes to Mass every morning no matter what - as recounted in this piece. OK, the rest is about basketball, no preaching :-).

This is the first match-up in a tournament of the 16 teams now being calculated and added to even our game at 200 great teams. The 1-seed UMass 1996 was truly an overlooked team when I did earlier cards, as I already rank them as one of the top 40 all-time great teams in my game. Our 16-seed Liberty 2023 is one of the two incredible athletic department stories coming out of Virginia today - the other being James Madison University whose current 2024 team will play our No. 2 seed Oregon State 1982. 

While the underdog, the amazing Darius McGhee of Liberty is the kind of opponents 1-seeds fear. He gets the ball a ton (on a roll of 2, 6 or 7 on the 8-sided die as the player in the country who shot more than any other player last year). If the defense doesn't stop him with a blocked shot or by forcing a turnover, then he hits a 3-pointer on a 1-5 on the 20-sided die. He lit it up with 821 points last season, the second highest total in the country. That included closing the season with 26 points in an NIT upset of Villanova and 31 points in a near upset at Wisconsin in the NIT, to end the season ranked as the 10th best player in the country at www.kenpom.com. At 5'9 he was not big enough for the NBA, but got on the court in the G-League. 

The favorites are John Calipari's first of three schools to make the Final 4 - the only other coach being Rick Pitino. Calipari's Minutemen featured National Player of the Year Marcus Camby, who was also the No. 2 player in the NBA draft being only AI, Allen Iverson. The writers picked UMass No. 1, and coaches said No. 1 behind Kentucky. While the Wildcats did beat them in the Final 4, UMass gave them their closest battle of the tournament - losing by only 7 after Kentucky had blown out their first four opponents by 20+. The Kentucky 1996 team is also u. The game and quite possibly the best of all times though right now we rank Bill Walton's UCLA champs at No. 1.

This left no doubt UMass was the No. 2 team that season, and Calipari would go on to take Memphis and Kentucky to the Final 4, getting his title in 2012 with Kentucky and Anthony Davis. Camby would just miss averaging a career double-double over 16 years in the NBA - including leading the league in blocked shots three years in a row. We are almost done with the cards for the 16 new teams - bringing our total to 200 great teams - but as we often do we start with these sheets for both teams which will be turned into cards soon.

Calipari's UMass Tops 16 New Schools In Value Add Basketball Game

We finished the first stage of developing the cards- always 10 players to a team - of 16 strong college basketball programs that did not yet have a team in the Value Add Basketball Game. We started this project after finishing our Christmas tournament with Bill Russell defeating Wilt Chamberlain for a mini-title.

The best of the new 16 teams is Massachusetts (UMass) when John Calipari took them to No. 1 in the Final AP poll in 1996 and a final four. Two teams that still need to prove themselves over time, but seem to be building strong programs are Liberty University's team from a year ago that gave Wisconsin a scare in the NIT and reeled off wins to start this season, and James Madison University, which is currently ranked and was ranked in football in just their second year at the FBS level.

The following list shows where each team finished in the final AP poll, and then how they did in the tournament. We then calculate their offensive and defensive rating based on how many points we'd expect their cards to produce per 100 offensive possessions, and allowed per 100 defensive possessions. The bigger the gap the better the team and the overall rating is that figure -17, since the average great team is about 17 points better than an "average" team.

UMass' 110 and 90, 20 better than an "average* team but +3 better than the average great team in the game. We will likely set up a 16-team tournament and would out the against the 16th beat new great team, Liberty University with a 107 and 105 for a -15. This means we'd expect UMass to be about 18 points better than Liberty in 100 possessions or about a 12-point favorite for a 66 possession game.

Then we have developed just the first part we need to do on the cards. Basic info so you know how good they are, and then their Stamina and which possessions we recommend each player is used (in the game the possessions start at 44 and to down to 1 as the final possession). 

We did not list the positions, but they are all in order, so the first player listed in the starting point guard (PG-1), then the starting shooting guard (SG-2) etc, with the sixth player starting the reserves as the back-up point guard etc.

The rest of the cards will be developed, but this is always the first step to research a new team.
