KenPom 2019-2020 KenPom Rankings Thread

[hhcmatt]

A new misc stat has been added: non-steal TO%.  As well as the obvious like throwing a ball out of bounds I believe that an offensive foul also counts as a turnover.

This is us from last year.  We took care of the ball quite well.

The problem is we were REALLY bad at forcing TO's, but I'm not sure how much that matters because Duke was dead last in that category last year.

It doesn't really matter how you generate TOs...like stealing the ball or forcing a lot of errant passes is just a matter of style.

We were typically better than average in the Miles era

 

I think this year's team will have to win the turnover battle to be successful because we're more than likely to lose the rebounding battle.

I saw a reference somewhere that the KenPom ratings were available....  @49r, did ya have an opportunity to review the B1G teams?

This is about what my expectations are for the season. More than this, and I'll be happy.

What the hell? Do they think we returned Isaiah Roby or something?

[49r]

FWIW we dropped 33 spots tonight to 129th.

[jimmykc]

Is that all? Must not have watched the game.

[jayschool]

Can we play in the SWAC for this season only?

In terms of KenPom, I wonder how this ranks with our UMBC, Incarnet Word, etc losses that we’ve had in the past.

Using Bart Torvik, here are our losses against opponents that finished the season ranked #125 or worse, dating back to 2008.

 

#262: 2008-2009 loss vs UMBC

#253: 2014-2015 loss vs Incarnate Word

#244: 2015-2016 loss vs Samford

#179: 2011-2012 loss vs Wake Forest

#175: 2016-2017 loss vs Gardner-Webb

#160: 2013-2014 loss vs UAB (neutral site)

#154: 2010-2011 loss vs Davidson (neutral site)

#147: 2015-2016 loss @ Penn State

#131: 2016-2017 loss @ Rutgers

#129: 2011-2012 loss @ Penn State

 

UC Riverside is currently ranked #219, but it's hard to tell where they will end up. 

[hskr4life]

Me after the game on Tuesday:  “That’ll probably be the worst loss KenPom wise in our conference.

 

Northwestern:  “Hold my beer.”

[49r]

Dropped to #135.

That seems generous.

KenPom's in almost as much denial as we are.

I mean, we have started off the season against two undefeated teams who are a combined 4-0.  (Riverside took down Idaho today.)

I'm sure there's a logic in here somewhere. I'll order some Chinese and mull it over.
