Phoenix.  The game threads are great but I personally have one criticism.  And this is only constructive as I am sure all of us appreciate your efforts. 
The criticism boils down to “too much information “.  Perhaps suggestions could be made regarding what to include.  I am a career numbers guy but I have limits.  I defer to others to hear their thoughts on inclusions but I mainly want rankings as well as relevant stats on opponents so I can watch for them.  Bottom line is whatever works for your schedule is fine with me.  Your diligence is most appreciated regardless.

I always appreciate them, but also know how much work something like that can be. So if you continue them I’ll be grateful and if you can’t I’ll have to get my info elsewhere (difficult to do with the Dukes as has already been pointed out).

I have always looked forward to the Game Threads and appreciate the work.  They are tremendously informative.  I personally think the first 5 paragraphs and the last paragraph are the most informative. Thanks for keeping us informed.

My overdue thanks for your posts. I hope they continue in some form.
You have several good ideas already about how to abridge your posts. I can't improve on them.
P. S.: I am personally relieved that we are not having a contest predicting the number of wins. With the transfer portal, a hard job is made impossible.

I agree - appreciated but too much info.  Im only thinking of you though.  i peruse the game thread every time but only focus on a few things and I always think, "man this must take this guy forever to do - I hope everyone else is reading what I'm not."

I think it is great we have thread to discuss each game and that should never stop, if you don't have time to get us all of the stats don't worry! What I enjoy most is the simple fact there is a discussion on the forum for each matchup.

Let's Go Dukes!

Thanks for all of the kind words and feedback.  As you have pointed out, I went down the rabbit hole with providing advanced metrics and stats; the heavy usage of these KenPom stats by the Dukes' coaching staff influenced me to provide them in the game thread.

I will be continuing the Game Threads for this year.  As you will see, they amount of data has been reduced and cleaned up.  I am providing weblinks for those members who want to dive a little bit deeper (note: the KenPom is subscription based, but all other links should be available to you.  The links to the Sports Reference team pages will allow you to dig through cumulative and game team and individual stats for both Duquesne and the opponents).

Your comments are always welcome.  Let's Go Dukes!

Of course, there will not be much meat on these posts until we get a few games in.  By early December, we should start to see some valid rankings in KenPom.
