Pointing out the crapty loss - we had no business losing to Bucky this year.

And KenPom does suck less this year as he somehow has the Badgers at 54 this year, normally they would be top 10 with their record.

Thanks. Most Scoopers were unaware of that loss.

When we win our Sweet 16 game, you can point it out again.

[PointWarrior]

Sure, as long as we don't lose to Bucky in the tourney.

Missing the message in all this - does anyone think Kenpom analytics has it right  with Marquette at 15 and a one loss big ten team who beat Marquette on the road at 54 and has fewer losses?

Don't get me wrong - I hate Bucky, but Kenpom....

KenPom is efficiency based.  Theres no right or wrong with KenPom, it is just results.

TRank, which was created by a UW alum, has MU 14th and UW 64th. The computers all like MU more than UW. It's not surprising.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Wisconsin is 6-2 in games decided by 5 points or less.  Badgers are 5-1 in games decided by 10 points or more.

Marquette is 1-4 in games decided by 5 points or less, but 12-0 in games decided by 10 points or more.

(Weird coincidence that neither team has had game decided by 6-9 points.)

Wisconsin has mostly been scraping by, has won 75% of their close games, and looks like a paper tiger.  Projected record 19-11 (11-9 in B1G).

Marquette has been mostly cruising, but has won only 20% of our close games.  Even without much success in close games, MU has a better projected record. Projected record 22-9 (14-6 in BE).

[PointWarrior]

Kenpom projections?  I hate Bucky but they will be way better than 11-9 in the Big 10-12-14-16...

I hope they are a paper tiger, but still sucks we lost to a paper tiger....

T rank projections, but all of the computer models are pretty close for W-L record.  Badgers are projected to have a lot of close games. 15 of their remaining 16 games have a spread of +/-6.  Nine of those spreads are within 3 points.

If the Badgers keep winning close games at a very high rate, they could get to 21 or 22 wins.  But if the ball doesn't bounce there way, then 17 wins isn't out of the question.

And yes it does suck to have lost to those paper tigers.

You don't understand how KenPom's site works, haven't taken the time to learn or read how it works from the thousands of posts here.  At this point, that ignorance is on you.

Arizona is currently 5th in the AP poll and just lost to Washington State who is 7-10 now with a loss to Prairie View A&M on its ledger.  Good teams lose to good teams, mediocre teams and lousy teams.  That's why they play the games

T-Rank's computer has a better eye than KenPom's computer this season.

The best people in the world discuss and put out point spreads on a daily basis...for sportsbooks around the world...and they ALL lost to KenPom.  They now mimic KenPom...if someone is better than KenPom that person is going to printing money.
