KenPom 2017-2018 KenPom Rankings Thread

[uneblinstu]

Ohio State on Monday will be ranked higher in Kenpom than MSU was when we beat them in 2014.

I've been following KenPom a bit more this year and bought a subscription. What I find lacking in his analysis is how much he relies on the previous season data. I think it finally is out the window about 20 games into the season, which seems odd to me.

It's frustrating to be sure.  But otherwise I really get a lot of use out of mine.

No time for a full update tonight but here are a few notes following tonight's game.  Ken still predicts a 10-8 conference record, but if we can manage wins in all the games he individually picks as wins for us, we will go 12-6 and honestly the two L's are pretty close to pick 'em's as well.  We moved up a few spots tonight from 67 to 63.  Here is tonight's post game KenPom Update:

 

Mon Jan 22	67	12	Ohio St.	L, 64-59	61		Away	14-8	5-4
Wed Jan 24		121	Rutgers	W, 63-62	66	53%	Away		×

A lot of statistical toss-ups.  Should be entertaining!

We jumped ahead of Penn State today, that L down below us is the one that kinda makes me itch.  Here is today's KenPom update:

I'm gonna root like hell for Michigan to beat Purdue tonight, but it's probably better for us if Purdue wins.  Here is today's KenPom update:

Of our 8 remaining games, 5 are at home and 7 are against teams below us in Kenpom rankings.

[Norm Peterson]

The 1 game left against a Kenpom team ahead of us happens to be at PBA.

And, Penn St winning last night at OSU seems to have boosted the Nitty Kitties to be comparable to NU.....

So we might as well just win them all?

We were #59 for a few minutes

[Norm Peterson]

Wish I knew how to do a screen shot.  I've got it pulled up and we're #59, right behind UCLA, Providence, and Alabama.

I'm not going to hit the refresh button until after we beat Wisconsin.

well, if you've got a bit of time...

 

if you're on desktop, on the keyboard there should be a "print screen" button off to the right side of the letters on the top. press that, and then you can paste it into paint (comes with windows) or some other editing program. I'm pretty sure on browser you can also find the shortcut to press to do the same and capture the screen.

 

I'm young, this is what I'm here for. lol hope it helps.

Shift-Command-3 takes a shot of the whole screen and Shift-command-4 allows you to set the parameters of what you want on the screen. A circle with  cross will show up and I have my trackpad set up to hold the left click down and move the cross with the trackpad

You will hear a camera sound and the picture should just show up on your desktop.

Shift-command-4 and then spacebar let's you select a window. FWIW

I don't have mine set up that way. You can set your preferences from trackpad in the system preferences.
