Welcome back for a special double header today. Earlier we posted episode #600 with the Men’s Top 365. Tomorrow we will post the Men’s Conference Comparisons for February. Starting today we will have nearly daily reports on the post-season games – first, for each conference in their respective tourneys and then for the mixed tournaments (NCAAs, NITs, WBITs, CBCs, CBIs) until all champions are crowned. If we could, we would ask for volunteers to help us keep track of all of the games, but we will do our best.
…..
The purpose of these posts will be to highlight “today’s” games. We will name the conference, the teams, and the tipoff time. At this time, it will be difficult to have the games coded (each one is “new” so not already in the GCR) and the data input before these daily posts which will be earlier in the day normally. So, we will not have up-to-date W-L/Rank like we have in football. Yes, those are “new” games too, but we know about them weeks in advance and there aren’t as many on a given day. I know, excuses, but as my wonderful Statistics professor often said, “we’ll do it my way, because it’s my party.” This is just year 2 of the basketball GCR and we are still working out some simplifications for the postseason. In year 2 of what would be the football GCR, we didn’t even touch the bowl games, or the conference championship games for that matter. We will work to have an improvement for next year, short of volunteers – insert winking face.

That’s it for today. Look for this same report pretty early in the morning tomorrow so that, you know, games aren’t over by the time we publish them. Then in the afternoon, look for the Men’s Final Regular Season Conference Comparison. Thank you for reading and sharing with others, JoJo and G.
