NCAA 2024/2025

I'd have to look at other people's records...

KU has wins over Kenpom #4 Duke and #16 UNC. Mich State at #36.

Auburn has Houston #5, Iowa State#6, and UNC...and Memphis #31

[twocoach]

Kenpom is still a hot mess. They have Gonzaga at #3 despite them getting beat by unranked West Virginia. Their only ranked win was an ass whipping of kenpom's 23rd ranked team in Baylor in the first game of the year. Oregon has wins over ranked Texas A&M and Alabama, 27th and 10th on Kenpom, with no losses and is 19th on Kenpom.

Kenpom doesn't factor in score differential as much as it does efficiency per possession weighted against a team's prior efficiency per possession. Of course, that goes hand in hand with score differential.

Yes, it's still early, but the Zags put a hurt on Baylor and Indiana and beat a good San Diego State team by double digits.

We've had tight games vs UNC, Duke and even Michigan State.
He also factors in preseason rankings for about the first month of college basketball so we may still be in there - and I think we were 7th on that.

[twocoach]

I will start to care about Kenpom in February or so. Seems pretty meaningless until then.

[pdub]

I'd say about 15 games in is where you have a good enough amount of data to get an idea of a team - so for me, it's more early January - but yes, right now I think it's still using preseason rankings as a way to prevent major fluctuations.

Just generally you seem to not know when to apply statistics or facts or numbers.
So I don't think you should start now.

There is a lot here that Randy is allergic to.

Does anyone else here see Misery’s head coach and picture him at a mall kiosk?

“Hey man, let me ask you a few questions about your current cell phone plan!”

I wasn't to see the wheels fall all the way off in Storrs and have UConn miss the tourney entirely.

I can't speak for anyone else. But, no. Since you asked, I picture him being either a Principal of a Chicago public school or a U.S. House of Representative.
I used wonder if he was related to William (Gates - not Self).
Your post gave me the incentive to investigate. Seems he is not. Unless we consider that if Adam and Eve were a thing, we are all cousins. So he is your and my cousin - and you and I are cousins. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

poor uk

(their losses aren’t nearly as delicious without cal)

They are 5 wins ahead of us again after the NCAA stole 15 wins from Self's resume so I still savor every UK loss.

[BiggDick]

the silver lining is, it'll be delicious if and when we overtake UK in all-time wins, AGAIN.
