Watching the Iowa/Iowa State game I was struck by how small our players seem by comparison. Playing against lesser opponents I had not noticed the difference. It just seemed we were not passing the eye test. So, I decided to test my eyes by comparing total BMI scores for the starting five. Iowa came in at 123.2 and OSU was at 114.5. Then I tested Duke and Arizona. Duke starting five are 127.7 and AZ is 117.1.
This is all to say...
1) I can tell which team is heavier. So maybe there is work for me at the local county fair.
2) I believe I have stumbled across the magic metric which can predict the winning team. This is of course only a theory without supporting evidence, but I wanted you all to know first.
P.S. I think our players are fudging their weights.

Maybe their weights also. |

St. Louis comes in at 126.4.
Two points for every point difference in BMI plus 3 point home court advantage.
St. Louis fatties win by 27.

Back to the BMI... as most know it doesn't take into account the type of "mass". Watching the game, the SLU players BMI was not only greater, but made up of more "muscle and bone"! They were not a team of "Joe Burtons" that's for sure! OSU looked like frail HS players at times. |

Wow, so St. Louis and Duke's starting five are overweight... Maybe they should think about weight watchers  From CDC: To calculate BMI, see the Adult BMI Calculator or determine BMI by finding your height and weight in this BMI Index Chart. If your BMI is less than 18.5, it falls within the underweight range. If your BMI is 18.5 to <25, it falls within the normal. If your BMI is 25.0 to <30, it falls within the overweight range.If your BMI is 30.0 or higher, it falls within the obese range. Obesity is frequently subdivided into categories: Class 1: BMI of 30 to < 35 Class 2: BMI of 35 to < 40 Class 3: BMI of 40 or higher. Class 3 obesity is sometimes categorized as “extreme” or “severe” obesity. |

Jackson and be told that you are obese because you are 240 and have a body fat content below 10%. |

I was pointing out the absurdity of the measure. Although you would think that the long lanky nature of basketball players would tend to lower the BMI not raise it like with a thick, muscular RB... but I digress. |

Back when I was 18/19 my BMI was below 22. 41/42 years later I'm pushing a BMI of 30... I should start playing basketball again just to see how good I am now (apparently I should be about 40% better if this BMI theory holds up).

It’s probably not linear. |
