BC Part II Post Game

[atlanticuse]

Two titans of the game battling for 15th place in the conference. You love to see it

again, the 2014 Titans or the 2024 Tennessee Titans?
5 wins between them. Kind of just like SU and BC.

Donald Hand Jr. was 91% at the line coming into today and went 3-8 from the line.

Can someone better at math than me tell us what the statistical probability is of that happening?

Is that considered a hand job?

 

[IthacaMatt]

I thought we played pretty well. Of course, it was against a 2-9 team at home, and it took 3 OT's. But better than nothing, right?

It is shockingly inappropriate of you to ask a question like this.

It's time to get nerdy.

According to AI:
If a player is a 90% free throw shooter, the chance of them missing two foul shots is 1%.

Explanation:

• To miss a free throw, the probability is 10% (since they make 90%).
• Since each free throw is independent, to miss both, you multiply the probability of missing one by itself: 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01, which is 1%.

---

So if Donald Hand Jr. was 91%, the chances of missing a free throw was 9%. The chances of missing five are 0.09 x 0.09 x 0.09 x 0.09 x 0.09 which is 0.00059049%.

Asking a robot was the right choice. Only math teachers can ask other humans to do math problems.

It's like the guy I saw that made the argument that the idea behind vegan food is that no animals suffer, and if you require that your vegan food have a delivery driver, and it's him, your food no longer qualifies as vegan, because to make the delivery he's the animal that had to suffer for you.

Was doing other things and then happened to tune in during the final overtime period. That’s the way to watch a game.

 

[Madbiker]

A battle of 2 equally inept teams. Neither able to seize the game. But it's sure better to win than lose.
BC tying 3 at end of regulation was another Red special. Up 3 with a few seconds left how do you allow BC to inbound and give the shooter behind the arc 5 feet of open space? Good grief. Coming out of a timeout that's terrible coaching.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

I went out to run my errands up 6 with 40 seconds or whatever. Got back for end of third ot.

Not great but that should clinch not missing the ACCT.

 

[JustPherU]

Haven't read your postgamer yet, but Red said in his presser that JJ was supposed to give the foul, but he was late getting there.

And Jy Davis looked fresh as a daisy in the 3rd OT.

Did he say why Lampkin was protecting the rim on that play?

 

[Noexcuse]

You clowns can be stupid negative all you want.

Fact is we still control our own destiny. Win out and we are cutting the nets.

My dad used to say there are 2 kinds of people in this world: those who are stupid negative and those who are stupid positive. Actually, he never really said that but it just seemed to fit.

 

[DilemaCuse]

I need to take a cold shower for enjoying being on that right side of that final score

That would be the answer to missing 5 in a row, but the question was what are the odds of him only making three of eight.

 

[atlanticuse]

Happy for the team we won. Always good to get a W on a Sat night at home.

Happy for fan base that we have this game on tape. There should be no doubt. Red is not the long term answer as the head coach of this program

short term neither

 

[kingtidge]

They wanted a national search and JB wanted Red.

Psstt... JB really wanted GMAC.

Good news is 2028 is only a few years away and he can get another bite on forcing that apple.

 

[CuseIn282xx]

The last line I saw before game time was Syr -8.5. So someone taking BC and the 8.5 must be in agony after being so close to winning the bet four times.

You calculated the odds of him missing 5 in a row. His odds of doing 3 in 8 wouldn’t be as low. Would need to pull out my stats 101 textbook and I’ll pass on that.

 

[JaySU22]

Here in Boston on the local news they showed highlights of all the other teams in the area who played today- bu, northeastern, umass etc - before getting to the highlights of this “classic”

Sheesh, we have just barely avoided an absolute dumpster fire of a year record wise.

I really need someone better at math to rescue me here.

I watched a 30 For 30 documentary about BC point shaving in the late 70s (Bruce Pearl BTW was a BC manager on the team). That's what I was thinking of when Hand missed all those FTs.

 

[OttosShoes]

I really need someone better at math to rescue me here.

It's all the combinations that meet the requirement over all the possible combinations. So (0.91*3+0.09*5)^8 / 8^8 = 0.062%

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

So if Donald Hand Jr. was 91%, the chances of missing a free throw was 9%. The chances of missing five are 0.09 x 0.09 x 0.09 x 0.09 x 0.09 which is 0.00059049%.

So to beat this BC team at home...

We needed something with those odds to occur.

Holy shiznit

Red should have been canned before he got to the locker room.

Edit: 0.062% (thanks OttosShoes)

 

[MSOrange]

I was actually doing my taxes while I watched the game today. This is way too much math for one day.

That’s officially the last time I ever perform math on this board for the rest of my life.
