The 2021-22 Fake Nunes Equation of Tumult (#FNET)

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:

Earl Grant and his New Balance track suit would have fit in at Sunday’s New Balance Grand Prix meet at Ocean Breeze

Advantage: Boston College for having the guts to sign a deal with New Balance in 2022

Basketball Program Hashtag:

None vs #ForBoston

Credit to BC for having a department-wide vision. However 99% of the people in Boston would rather see them lose than win.... which means that BC is actually giving the people what they want...damn well played Eagles

Advantage: Boston College

If Brose Baskets Bamberg doesn’t have a shoe deal with Big Baller Brand, what’s the point?

Advantage: Boston College

Prediction:

Last year the Orange shot the lights out in Conte in front of a bunch of cardboard cutouts. This year they will shoot the lights out in front of a bunch of empty chairs and Syracuse fans. First audible “Let’s Go Orange” chant will be detected about 11 minutes into the game and the people will get some extended Paddy Casey run in this one. That sound you hear is Syracuse fans sending emails to Joe Lunardi asking what the Orange need to do to get into the First Four.
