College basketball is full of metrics that no one really fully understands so we’ll continue to give you more ridiculousness with this year’s revised FNET metric.

Head Coach Casual Bench Attire:

If you’re going to wear New Balance you need to either be breaking world records like Sydney McLaughlin or getting lots of money like Jack Harlow. Earl Grant doesn’t fit either category.

Speaking of script, why is Syracuse doing this dance by not going to these full-time?
