Who Am I?

With the college basketball season now over, I wanted to take some time to talk about myself. I gained a lot of new readers over the course of the year, and I realized that most of them know very little about me. So, I quickly wanted to go through some stuff about myself as well as a look forward to what I have upcoming with the end of the season.

So first, a little about myself. My name is Kevin Perry, and I am a freshman at Syracuse University, majoring in Sport Analytics. I am originally from New Jersey, and I was a varsity basketball player back in my high school days. I first got into college basketball with Trey Burke and Michigan, and I really enjoyed watching that team play. I began following the sport more closely outside of March, watching a lot of Michigan with my love for John Beilein's offense, and I really enjoyed a lot of those teams with guys like Nik Stauskas, Caris Lavert, and Derrick Walton. I am of course now a fan of Syracuse, but I never let my fandom get in the way of my journalistic integrity. I decided to start this blog last March to talk about college basketball after watching a ton of games throughout the year and having no one to talk to about them, and this seemed like a good outlet for it. I grew throughout the year, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has read throughout the year. I really appreciate all the support I've gotten, and I am really excited to keep putting out some fun stuff.

Speaking of which, I wanted to give a quick look ahead to the offseason. I asked on Twitter, follow me @ThreePointRange, and I got an overwhelming response in favor of me putting out a Way, Way Too Early Top 25, which I have out now, so be sure to check that out. I would love for you to tell me why your favorite team is too low, so I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks about that. I also have a series on offseason questions for each Power 6 team as well as some other top teams in the country. I will do some NBA Draft stuff, with my April Fool's post about Big Bird as a prospect non-withstanding, so be on the lookout for that. After that, I'll probably take a bit of a summer break before starting to do some season preview stuff. I'll be active on Twitter talking about recruits, transfer, coaching changes, and a bunch of other stuff, so be sure to follow me there as I said earlier. And if you want me to do anything, let me know there. I'm open to doing whatever all of you want to see, so let me know what you're interested in reading.

I really do just want to thank everyone for reading my stuff. I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to listen to what I have to say about college basketball, and all of the support I received throughout the year. I really love doing this, and the fact that some people are reading and enjoy it as well is great, so thank all of you for your support. Seriously, if you're reading this, I really appreciate you and I can't wait to share more college basketball content with you throughout this long offseason. And if you miss college basketball already, there's just 211 days left until November 6. Oh and by the way, Virginia starts their title defense on that day in the Carrier Dome. That I truly cannot wait for. Be on the lookout for more content soon and once again thank you all for reading, interacting and your support, it really means a lot to me and I look forward to keeping that up in the coming months.

ACC Breakdown 1/29/19

There are some exciting games coming up this week in the ACC, with multiple top 25 matchups coming in the week ahead. There are a lot of quality teams, so there are always good matchups, although the conference isn't as deep as it has been. I'm also tweeting about the ACC on Twitter @ThreePointRange, so if you want to discuss it, that's a great place to do it. Thoughts - You gotta feel for Marcquise Reed and Clemson. The senior laden group came into the season with high expectations, and I will get into the Tigers a little more later, but it looked as if they were going to get a big win at North Carolina State. They were up three with 14 seconds left when Reed, a 82% foul shooter this season, got sent to the line. He missed both. Clemson chose to foul up three, a strategy I don't love but that's beside the point, and the Pack made both. Reed got sent back to the foul line, up one, with seven seconds to go. He once again missed both free throws, and Braxton Beverl...

Southern Conference Tournament Preview

Season In Review The SoCon rose to the forefront of national attention thanks to two teams: Wofford and Furman. Before I get into them, I want to note that outside of those two, UNC Greensboro, and ETSU, the conference was very bad. No other team was even .500 in conference play, and the top really covered up a disappointing bottom. However, the top was very good, and Furman made news when they took down Loyola-Chicago and Villanova, and they started off 12-0 on the season. While Furman made waves early, it was Wofford who did it late, going 18-0 in the conference and losing just 4 games all season. They should be in the tournament pretty comfortably at this point, and we could see multiple teams dancing if someone other than the Terriers wins the tournament, which is very possible given the strength of the rest of the top 4. Once we get into the semifinals, there should be nothing but great games, and I am very excited to see what happens. Bracket Contenders Wofford  (26-4,...

ACC Tournament Preview

Season in Review The ACC was once again one of the top conferences in the nation. Virginia, North Carolina, and Duke were in and around the top 5 all season, and they had multiple other teams in the top 25 throughout the year. The biggest story was by far the Blue Devils, as they had one of the best recruiting classes of all time, featuring the biggest story in college basketball this season, Zion Williamson, maybe you've heard of him, along with RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish, and Tyus Jones. Meanwhile, Virginia rebounded from their loss to UMBC in the first round last season, going undefeated against everyone but Duke this year. Finally, North Carolina was streaky at the beginning of the year, but with the recent emergence of Coby White, they have become an offensive force. Throw in Florida State, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, and Louisville, and the conference has clearly once again been dominant.
