We got as much from non-con as from the win itself. Ranking improved from 30 to 27 thanks to our non-con opponents going 9-1 on Friday & Saturday before tip-off, then jumped from 27 to 24 after the W.

We've played against the 14th toughest defensive SOS so far......our non conference SOS is 22.....it will get worse after the next 3.

Offense ranked 37 and defense 29, basically swapped from where they were at the start of the season (I don't recall exactly what it was but we ended last year at 32/45). The offense was so bad to start, I can see a trajectory for this team where the defense ranking stays about there and the offense improves slowly but surely. That could be a top 15 type team if it gets to where wojo teams have been historically.

Lots of old data still in there. I think the defense is significantly better than is current ranking, but also think the offense is worse. On the upside, I think teams are more likely to improve on the offensive end as the season goes on.

Texas Tech entered Big XII play in the 130’s on offense last year.  Thought that would be their undoing.  It gradually got better as Conference play unfolded.

I agree the offense might be overranked given our early games but it does look like it has turned a corner the last few games. Might even be top 20.

Would the old data be from the end of last year when the O was not so hot?  So maybe the Current O reality is not worse than its current ranking.

I would love for that to be the case, but against quality opponents this year we have scored 436 points in 437 possessions. USC was the only quality opponent where we were over 1.10 ppp (1.16, next best was Purdue at 1.03).

The limited evidence so far would indicate an offense in the 100-125 range is more likely than top-20.

Still too early for Pomeroy in my opinion, but let's go with the predictions for the Big East.  Very tightly bunched.  Going to be a war.


Butler  11-7
Seton Hall  11-7
Villanova  11-7
Marquette 10-8
Xavier 10-8
Georgetown 8-10
Depaul 8-10
Creighton 8-10
Providence 7-11
St. John's 5-13

Last night was a big win. Assuming MU holds serve against the cupcakes, 10-8 should be safely in the field as it would be 20 wins.

Kenpom also shows 1.03 against KSU, a pretty good defensive team. Although to make a point against me, I just noticed our PPP was only 1.03 against Jacksonville (would've guessed much higher).

Simply cutting down on turnovers would send the offense skyrocketing.  Tough ask considering the cast of characters and increasingly difficult schecdule

Just think what our defensive rating would be without the live ball turnovers. Our half court D is really good.

I think Creighton with a few more wins, and Georgetown with a few less.
But, yes....it will be a dogfight.

Too early for what? Is literally any ranking or opinion too early at this point for you... like 5 years to judge... January to judge ?  Or is there another source you’d value much more than kp as of today?
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Cheeks is right in that KenPom doesn't become its fully formed, useful data set until the 2nd week in January. Definitely usable but with a caveat

I am going off Ken’s comments himself, the rankings / ratings are more accurate with more data and tend to settle in a bit later.  Not a matter of one being better than another, more that KP and others are still quite fluid at this point in the year.

No, you’re not. “Too early” and “are more accurate later” are completely different. Answer the Q or understand how silly your comment is

So, you’re agreeing with me while saying you agree with Cheeks. Odd

How are they different?  Too early and THUS less accurate today then what they will be later in the season.

Maybe I am not understanding what you think is silly, but seems pretty clear to me.  Similar comments made by Palm, Sagarin, Massey over the years.
