Posted: 2/8/2014 10:43:18 PM

As always, all caveats apply to the flaws of plus/minus. Please use it for good, not evil.

Player Mins +/-

Kellogg 39 10

Wilkins 34 7

Willis 13 5

Taylor 27 2

Smith 29 1

Settty 5 1

Ndour 36 -4

Campbell 4 -5

Hall 13 -8

Surprisingly, Ohio outscored Miami by 11 in the four minutes Ndour didn't play.

Should there be a discussion on starting Wilkins over Hall? Does it even matter? To put it simply, Travis grew a pair this year...He is playing with confidence and conviction. And I seriously love seeing the receding hairline on the Bobcats.

But maybe 6th man is the best role for him.

Ted, with all due respect, based on this line from Ken Pom, I'm not sure why you even put this up. Deciding who plays and how much is more gut feeling based on a coach's experience and game situation than anything else.

In summary, plus-minus, while neat to look at, is a poor tool in college basketball analysis.

For a given game it's kinda hit or miss. Over the course of some number of games (six?) or greater, I'm betting that it gives a pretty good indication.

Bonus question: Isn't our remaining regular season league schedule the most difficult possible? Don't we play everyone in our division again plus the top two teams in the West?

Worth discussing, but I like having some firepower off the bench. Not sure TJ fits the firepower category.
