Missouri Boys Basketball - Top 150 teams

After last night's round of games, the top 150 teams looks a little different.  CBC knocked down the doors at Chaminade and blew open a close game after three quarters to win by 15.  Trinity rises to the top spot with that outcome.  South Iron continues to impress with 50+ point win over Viburnum.  Raytown upset Ruskin and Truman upset Liberty KC.

Over at the Denver Miller Tournament in Kirkwood, O'Fallon Illinois survived a close game with McCluer North, U City rocked Hazelwood East, Ladue spanked Kirkwood and the Eureka Wildcats upset a good Jennings squad.

Here's my all class Top 150 Missouri Boys basketball teams

Retweet if you like it.  Comments are always welcome if they help improve the ratings.

Editor's comments:  When I said "comments were welcome if they help improve the ratings," that I wasn't thinking of demeaning Twitter replies.  What I would ask for is for you to point out games that show a team is consistently better than teams rated above them.  

 I have gotten specific feedback from Lift for Life and Ruskin fans or coaches and I looked to see if I had missed results that would rank them higher (or lower).  Lift for Life started slow and has picked up with some great wins.  I hadn't put all of Ruskin's game results into the model.  

 If all you have is to comment on is "IMHO my team is better," I can't put that into the statistics.  Right now, looking at a team like Vashon, who might be a 150 rating, I just don't have enough local game results to rate them where they might appropriately belong.  Be patient and the game results will sharpen my ratings.  Right now, I can't rate them against nationally ranked teams that they have beaten because I haven't expanded my model beyond Missouri and local Illinois teams.  When I get more data, ratings will settle in.  

 Everyone can have an opinion.  I only ask that you provide me with game scores rather than "go back to your day job" comments.  Thanks

Section predictions Missouri class one and two boys and girls basketball

The esteemed Earl Austin, Jr. has published some in-depth analysis of opening sectional games that start tonight over on Prep Hoops Missouri.  You have to have a subscription but you really should as Earl and his colleagues always have the inside dope on boys high school basketball.  I think they are launching a girls version this coming year.  At least, I hope so.  You can read his predictions at: https://www.prephoops.com/2020/03/preview-class-1-sectionals-predictions/ Prep Hoops Missouri Class two predictions are listed at: https://www.prephoops.com/2020/03/preview-class-2-sectionals-predictions/ Prep Hoops Missouri Class Two Earl really digs deep for information on the players and what they are doing.  I just model scores in an algorithm that provides me with a power rating.  It's the only ranking in the state for all 600+ boys and 535+ girls teams.  Earl gives you more of the scoop. What Earl doesn't have is the girls predictions so I wi...

Basketball and Coronavirus - What's next? What can you do?

Image
It's hard getting up in the morning.  Some days I don't remember what day of the week it is.  My grandkids are struggling.  They are stressed.  They can't do the things that they want to do.   I finally bought myself a golf driving net and set it up against the house in the backyard and I hit a couple hundred golf balls a day and work on form.  My wife and I are walking the neighborhood, sorting old digital photos, fixing stuff and knocking out Honey-Do Lists that I have avoided for years. I told my grandson, who was looking forward to the AAU 17U season that he might be lucky to play in July and August.  Very Lucky.  Schools are closed for the rest of the spring.  I feel real badly for all of those spring sports teams.  I feel bad about the Spring AAU schedule disappearing.  I doubt that there will be a June HS practice and game schedule.  I doubt everything our "President" says about opening up the country.  IF WE KEEP...

Musing over small town basketball - Where in the heck is Dora, Missouri? Or Mountain Lake, Minnesota?

Last year, I posted a blog about "Where in the heck is Zalma, Missouri?" and talked about how much I was learning about Missouri geography by rating all 530+ Missouri State High School Athletic Association boys basketball teams.  I would often pull up Google Maps to locate a small town school and found out that Zalma was in SE Missouri. For those that have not heard of Dora MO boys basketball, you were probably thinking I was talking about Dora the Explorer and not a premier class 1 basketball team that recently beat a top Oklahoma City's Heritage Hall class 4 team by 5.  They have one of the top shooters in the country, Isaac Haney, a 6'1" 2021 shooting guard who can put up 30 points faster than you can get popcorn at the concession stand.  They also have triplets, Austen, Mason and Bryson Luna, who make up an awesome, albeit small, cadre of superstars in a tiny town R-3 high school that has a one sentence Wikipedia description.  But don't take these guys ...
