The data told the story all year on Duke, Houston, Florida and Auburn. In that regard, it shouldnt be a surprise to see them in the Final Four as only the second all-chalk set of 1-seeds to reach college basketballs final stage.The Blue Devils, Cougars, Gators and Tigers had held the top four spots in daily rankings from KenPom since the first half of February, and their net efficiency ranks among the best ever charted by the analytics site going back more than a quarter-century. They were also the headliners on data-driven rankings from Bart Torvik and Evan Miyakawa as well, further confirmation of how good these teams have been from November, through March Madness and now entering San Antonio.Theres only a few minor variations in those comparisons. Duke is No. 1 for KenPom and Miyakawa ahead of Houston, while the Cougars are No. 1 in Torvik ahead of the Blue Devils.

2025-04-26 12:45:05| Spiritual Career Counseling
The Issue: David McClary facing a Parole Board that has recently sprung 43 other cop killers.Granting parole to David McClary would be the 44th time that a cop killer has been released by the Parole Board over the last eight years (Cop-Slayer Hood is Up for Parole, April 6).This is sickening and blatantly immoral. The unfathomable anguish that the unprincipled and imprudent Parole Board has caused the families of these heroic officers is repulsive and should be denounced by any decent-minded person.Denis DavidEast RockawayBoth of the Cuomos have been a disgrace.Gov.
