dave, I hear you are good in cbb, what was you record and units won last year? thanks, jeff
Without looking, I don't know exactly - but it was a losing season overall. I dug a big hole in November with some personal distractions and I've addressed them as they relate to football last year a couple of months ago - basketball was no different. We had a great Conference season from January on (as we always have) and then had a bad March Madness. Most all the favorites won and covered - which was highly unusual. A lot of people did poorly last March, but you didn't ask "a lot of people" - you asked me. From memory, the prior year (2013-4) we struggled early, but not because of distractions, but because all the big chalk won and covered, too. Even the Duke's of the world extended 25 point HT leads to 40 - when in the previous few centuries that just didn't happen. So, at one time I was very good at CBB - beyond good a couple of years - but not anymore.
That's part of this business, tho, people are remembered for TOO long for what they DID and not what they are doing. I guess that works both ways if people think I am good at CBB and bad if they think I am not good at baseball - once you get "labeled" --
I need to make some early season adjustments and have been thinking about that since the end of last season. -
