KenPom 2012-2013 KenPom Rankings Thread

This team will be very similar in conference record as what they had last year. They'll be right in the 4 to 6 win range in conference.

[Red Rum]

I kind of don't care about what any of our rankings this year being a transition year and that our walkons are getting so much playing time. But I just needed to comment because this thread just reminded me that the local (omaha) band named Pomeroy or whatever was a thing. Oh the good ol' days.

Hope you are right. If that is where we end up then Miles will have done a fantastic job as this team has far less talent to work with than we had last year.

As of November, 19. Not much change other than a little shuffling in the top ten. Oregon and Valpo have moved out of the triple digits and into the double digits. Oregon making the biggest jump. Nebraska dropped (due, in no small part to the level of competition played) a couple spots.

Penn State has plummeted more than 40 spots since the season began.

Tim Frazier was hurt early in the game vs Akron and they were crushed.

I think they had to carry him off the court.

Not sure if they can beat anyone without him.

That has the makings of a husker win, and a bad Penn State season.

Miles should get coach of they year if this comes to fruition. I'm just not seeing it, Big 10 might be the best basketball conference in the nation this year and we are not only lacking depth we are lacking talent. If he can string together 4 to 6 wins with that schedule he will have done a fanstastic job this year.

[uneblinstu]

Penn St, Northwestern, Purdue have a lot of work to do. We play those teams five times. There's some wins there. Iowa and Illinois will be splitable. Unless they get ravaged by injuries, this team isn't as bad as many people are saying it is. At worst, they'll finish where they did last year in terms of wins. I know the top of the league is good. Very good. Perhaps even great, but the bottom will present opportunities for some wins.

[49r]

Yeah I agree, there's opportunities out there with 18 conference (9 at home). In basketball, massive upsets aren't nearly as hard to come by as they are in football.

[hskr4life]

One thing that I am excited to see is Coach Miles game plans against some of the top tier Big 10 teams. I think that he will have us in all but a few games, probably on the road, where we may get blown out a few times. Hey I know it's a long way off, but there is nothing to say we steal a few conference wins we should not, and do something with this season.

NOTE: By do something I mean like NIT bubble. There is possibilities out there.

Wake Forest lost to UCONN by 6. Granted they're 2-2, but does anyone know why they're so low in the Pomeroy rankings?

Because their very next game they lost to Iona by 30

[Norm Peterson]

Wow. Wouldn't it be freaking wild if we went into Winston Salem and beat Wake Forest on the road after losing to them last year at home with a much more talented roster? If they can lose to Iona by 30, they sure as hell can lose to us.

It could very well be two 7-0 teams squaring off when Creighton comes to town. I know first Kent, but the way this team plays, and everything.

To be honest with you, "the way this team plays" is pretty mediocre. Unless you're referring to their tenacity to somehow find a way to squeeze out a win.

Thats what I love about this team, is that no matter what people say or what Vegas lines are, they are always playing with a lot of heart, and play like they THINK they can win. That is key

The same reasons we are

[MichHusker]

realtimerpi.com predicts us finishing the season at 17-13 and 7-11 in conference play

[49r]

Yes, please!

[hskr4life]

That would be an NIT lock wouldnt it?

[49r]

In the B1G, it's an NIT lock, and an NCAA bubble, IMO.

[hhcmatt]

I believe that would be considered a miracle!

[hskr4life]

A few notes from Realtime RPI

-- They have us beating Creighton! Could not believe my eyes.

-- They have us losing every road game, which was probably to be expected.

-- Valpo is 4-1 and so they have that down as a quality win right now.

-- None of this will matter when they update and have us at a 13-17 overall record and 4-14 Big 10 conference

[hskr4life]

Just got Kent game added into site

Overall they now predict 15-15 record with a 6-12 conference mark. I will still take this in a heart beat.
