Whoa! DePaul with a big jump up from 304. Nice job. BE has been put on notice!
Subtract Nova like 65 spots and move Depaul up like 65 spots and that's about what i think. Id move us up a little, SJU down a little but generally the right neighborhoods

I think Xavier, Marquette and Providence finish ahead of Nova in final standings.

there's no chance Nova finishes that high in Kenpom or ahead of MU, X, PC, and maybe even Butler. SH and GT will be under 100 and DePaul closer to 200. The Demons turned over their entire roster but it's still full of mid-major talent.
Should have hit the portal.
Drop Marquette to 69

This made me chuckle.
You know it's bad over in Villanova when their squad is considered 65 spots overrated, while the squad over in Chicago is considered 65 spots underrated.
I do agree that DePaul will be closer to the top 100. I'll give Neptune and Co the benefit of the doubt and say they are 40-50ish spots too high, but I still don't think they dance in the 60s. That might be the first nice thing I've said about him.
I can never figure out Pitino teams, but my sense is that they are higher than they should be. I'd say Xavier and Marquette have a much higher likelihood of a top 20 KenPom, top 3 BE finish than StJ.
Let's get this ball tipped.
5th in the BE? I'm pissed!
Pawz?
KenPom has MU's AdjOE ranked the same as last year, and AdjDE down 10 spots

The best part is, Willie has no idea what KenPom is or how it works.

Saw on Twitter that George Mason is ranked 22nd in KenPoms Mid Major Top 25.
They also return 3 starters and added KD Johnson from Auburn. Could be a tough game 2 opponent in the Al McGuire Center.

So is George Mason the mid major you're going to freak out about this year?
Oh boy, here we go. It's Radford all over again.

Would be a better loss than the one to St. Thomas

It could be at least be an entertaining game where you can learn something, rather than the typical mid major blowout that does no good.
I was at the 5 point win over New Hampshire a few years ago...that was fun! Learned that Morsell was going to be a go to guy late in games and that Lewis was capable of being a double double guy.

#22 mid major?! Well sh!t. Sharpy in the L.
Jeff Goodman doesn't think MU is a top 25 team. Big East title here we come

If KenPom is any indication of where they could fall in the NET...they could be close to a Q2 Home Win as well. That would be great.
Dayton will be a Q1 Road game.
Great scheduling yet again!

Ha! I love it. He could have been classy and told us 5 teams he would put in the Top 25, but no. I seriously love it.
Its a real bold call saying a team may be mis-rated 4 spots in a pre-season poll. ::)
Like our chances, especially if we are picked 9th in the Big East.

Goodman is good for news, but his analysis would fit right in on this board.
If you know what I mean.

I have forgotten-who was the clown who wrote a preseason story a few years ago about the BE but forgot that UCONN had joined? Nice story about the 10 teams. ;D
