  1. KenPom's preseason rankings are released. We are #34. I'll let 49r do his usual, thorough analysis if he wants to. There are 11 Big Ten teams in the top 40.
  2. I thought I would start a new thread for this year's KenPom rankings. I tweeted at Ken Pomeroy and he told me that his preseason rankings will be released the day after the AP preseason poll is released. That should be fairly soon, shouldn't it?
  3. Well it's getting to be that time of year again. Practice has started...the leaves are changing and there is a certain chill in the air. I expect the new KenPom rankings to come out in the next few weeks, so it's time to get this season's KenPom rankings thread started! This year, just like every other year, I'll go ahead and just start off by recapping last season's final rankings and each team's postseason destination (if they have one) in the Big Ten. Then when the first preseason rankings come out, I will note any changes and we will go from there. As usual for the conference teams the number in the parenthesis is the ranking they started last season at, and the bold number is the number they finished at. Teams in Red represent NCAA Tournament teams and the round eliminated. Teams in Blue represent NIT teams (but none of the teams on our schedule this year played in the NIT last year). So, everybody, time to weigh in. What KenPom rank do you think will be a reasonable expectation for us to start our season off this year? What are your thoughts on our non-con schedule? (Pretty cupcake-y...this looks like a classic Doc schedule to me). Call your shot! Finally, as I say every year; don't forget to click here to see all the previous years' KenPom threads. They're really worth a look! With all that said, and with no further ado... Here we go! KenPom rankings as of 4-06-21 ======================= B1G (0-0): (17) -> 3. Michigan E8 (18) -> 4. Illinois R32 (12) -> 7. Iowa R32 (10) -> 11. Ohio State R64 (7) -> 14. Wisconsin R32 (25) -> 25. Purdue R64 (51) -> 35. Maryland R32 (27) -> 38. Rutgers R32 (64) -> 40. Penn State (26) -> 50. Indiana (35) -> 62. Minnesota (15) -> 64. Michigan State (70) -> 79. Northwestern (118) -> 109. Nebraska Non-Conference (0-0): 290. Western Illinois 180. Sam Houston 22. Creighton R16 258. Idaho State 308. Southern 320. Tennessee State 159. South Dakota ---B1G/ACC Challenge--- 71. @NC State ---Holiday Hoopsgiving--- 60. Auburn 147. Kansas State 335. Kennesaw State
  4. This season's Pomeroy rankings are out, and I'll do a full update as soon as I get the time. But I will leave you with this one spoiler, we aren't starting off last in the Big Ten. (insert Arrested Development "Don't Buy Bluth" clip here). Stay tuned folks and hold on to your shorts. A quick scan of the upcoming schedule is enough to give me heartburn. For now, enjoy a little relaxing music.
  5. Good news everyone, the KenPom rankings (finally) dropped overnight! I know everyone has been waiting with baited breath to see this thread appear in the Haymarket Hardwood, and now the wait is finally over! Because of all the chaos since March, I'm going to have to start off slightly different than in years past but I'll do my best to keep thing as uniform as possible. Like before I will start with last years season starting rankings (in parenthesis) then the season ending rankings in bold in the first post. Additionally, I would've normally have 2020 NCAA Tournament teams color coded in red and 2020 NIT Tournament teams color coded in blue. Since there was no 2020 postseason I will leave the color coding off. In my second post I will do the same thing but with the offseason rankings changes. (Final 2020 rankings in parenthesis then this year's starting rankings in bold) You'll notice that there is only Big Ten teams and Georgia Tech in the initial rankings. Since we don't have a schedule these are the only known opponents at the moment. This aspect of this years thread will be fluid, as we all probably expect it to be by now. Finally, if you notice any errors please let me know. I think I got everything updated right here but I've been pretty distracted at work. Also, don't forget to click here to see all the previous years' KenPom threads (I highly recommend going back through them, they're always fun to read). Here we go! KenPom rankings as of 3-26-20 ========================= B1G (0-0): (1) -> 7. Michigan State (11) -> 8. Ohio State (16) -> 11. Maryland (21) -> 16. Michigan (45) -> 22. Wisconsin (41) -> 23. Iowa (7) -> 24. Purdue (43) -> 26. Penn State (81) -> 27. Minnesota (63) -> 28. Rutgers (35) -> 30. Illinois (34) -> 34. Indiana (87) -> 132. Northwestern (96) -> 162. Nebraska Non-Conference (0-0): TBD ---Nebrasketbubble--- TBD ---B1G/ACC Challenge--- (66) -> 64. Georgia Tech
  6. It's October, practice has begun and @jimmykc has had his quicky in the sack with Lindy so that can mean only one thing. It's time to start this season's KenPom thread! As always, Nebraska starts off with a triple-digit ranking and is mired near the bottom of the league standings. Keep in mind these are the numbers as of the end of last season, KenPom won't release this year's rankings for a few weeks yet. A little format change for this year, I thought it might be a fun exercise to put the numbers from the end of 2015 in parenthesis just to show how the B1G teams progressed over the season last year (let me know if you want to keep this feature going throughout the season). Additionally, I listed the B1G teams that made the postseason and the round they eventually lost in. NCAA is in Red and NIT in Blue. Finally, don't forget to click here to see all the previous years KenPom threads. Here we go! KenPom rankings as of 4-03-17 ========================= B1G (0-0): (14) -> 19. Purdue S16 (58) -> 20. Michigan S16 (33) -> 21. Wisconsin S16 (223) -> 37. Minnesota R64 (78) -> 38. Northwestern R32 (5) -> 40. Michigan State R32 (15) -> 44. Indiana 1st RD (25) -> 46. Maryland R64 (132) -> 66. Illinois 3rd RD (23) -> 71. Iowa 2nd RD (80) -> 73. Ohio State (146) -> 87. Penn State (98) -> 107. Nebraska (291) -> 135. Rutgers Non-Conference (0-0): 220. Eastern Illinois 320.

Stetson
  7. Now that practice has started, I think it's close enough to the season to get the KenPom thread for this year going again (and also to beat Actuary to the punch on starting the KenPom thread, finally). So, here are the final KenPom rankings for last year with our 2015-16 schedule. I expect the new rankings to come out in a couple weeks but for now this should be a decent enough spot to start some discussion. I can see Goodman's point, it does look kinda cupcake-y, but also there's quite a few games that will be much bigger challenges. What do you think??? KenPom rankings as of 4-06-15. =========================== B1G (0-0): 3. Wisconsin 15. Michigan State 19. Iowa 21. Ohio State 32. Maryland 48. Purdue 53. Indiana 58. Minnesota 69. Illinois 75.

  8. Well, folks, it's getting to be that time of year again. Nights are getting cooler (finally), football season is well underway, soon the leaves will be turning, and 49r is starting the KenPom Rankings Thread. For anyone interested in viewing last year's thread, you can click here. We're going to start off this year as always with the upcoming schedule and each team's final rankings from last season, and there is no doubt #98 is not anywhere near where your Huskers are gonna be starting off in the initial KenPom Rankings due around the end of the month. If I were a betting man, I would say we'll probably be lucky to start off in the top 150 this year, once again putting us squarely in the bottom four of the B1G. The good news is the guys will have plenty of opportunities early on in the season to make quick jumps up the KenPom rankings with some wins. So without further ado, here we go! Hope everyone enjoys! KenPom rankings as of 4-04-16. ========================== B1G (0-0): 5. Michigan State 14. Purdue 15. Indiana 23. Iowa 25. Maryland 33. Wisconsin 58. Michigan 78. Northwestern 80. Ohio State 98.

  9. October is here, practice has begun and that can mean only one thing. It's time once again to start the KenPom ranking thread! For the first time in a while Nebraska will be starting off in the middle of the B1G pack. We're hoping to build on last season's success and maybe do some pretty great things this season. We finished last year at #55, no idea where Ken will have us to start, but Bart Torvik's T-Rank system (which is pretty similar to KenPom) currently has us at #36, good for 5th best in the B1G. Once again I'm going to start the thread with each team's rank to start the previous year (in parenthesis) and how they finished. Additionally, the teams on our schedule that made the postseason are color coded with the round the team lost noted. NCAA is in Red and NIT in Blue. Finally, don't forget to click here to see all the previous years' KenPom threads (I highly recommend going back through them, they're always fun to read). Here we go! KenPom rankings as of 4-02-18 ========================= B1G (0-0): (17) -> 5. Purdue S16 (10) -> 6. Michigan State R32 (34) -> 7. Michigan NCAA Title Game (78) -> 16. Ohio State R32 (40) -> 19.

  10. Inspired by a thread I found on another Big Ten team's message board regarding historical KenPom rankings, I went through and compiled some rankings data for Nebraska. This 30,000 foot view of where we have been over nearly the past two decades has been interesting to me, some thoughts about this info to follow: Year - Coach ----- Starting -- High -- Low -- Final -- (Strength of Schedule) ============================================== 2002 - Collier (13-15) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #103 -- (#75) 2003 - Collier (11-18) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #138 -- (#25) 2004 - Collier (18-13) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #40 ---- (#86) 2005 - Collier (14-14) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #80 ---- (#67) 2006 - Collier (19-14) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #111 -- (#90) 2007 - Sadler (17-14) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #82 ---- (#60) 2008 - Sadler (20-13) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #39 ---- (#69) 2009 - Sadler (18-13) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #63 ---- (#58) 2010 - Sadler (15-18) -- N/A -- N/A --- N/A --- #93 ---- (#47) 2011 - Sadler (19-13) -- #76 -- #34 --- #81 --- #64 ---- (#77) 2012 - Sadler (12-18) -- #53 -- #51 --- #158 -- #152 -- (#11) 2013 - Miles (15-18) -- #214 -- #127 - #218 -- #136 -- (#8) 2014 - Miles (19-13) -- #123 -- #44 -- #123 -- #56 ---- (#18) 2015 - Miles (13-18) -- #36 ---- #34 -- #131 -- #121 -- (#43) 2016 - Miles (16-18) -- #139 -- #79 -- #156 -- #85 ---- (#73) 2017 - Miles (12-19) -- #85 ---- #71 -- #105 -- #107 -- (#14) 2018 - Miles (22-11) -- #97 ---- #50 -- #114 -- #55 ---- (#59) 2019 - Miles (19-17) -- #38 ---- #11 -- #45 ---- #47 ---- (#9) Initial take aways for me The move to the Big Ten. That move has had a MAJOR impact on our Strength of Schedule, probably has been the single most significant factor in our KenPom ranking over time. Miles' rankings indicate that he may not have actually elevated the program with much significance over the Collier/Sadler eras, however, SOS improvement may be a factor at play. KenPom uses historical data to influence rankings moving forward, and it appears we are definitely trending upward. It will be interesting how the trend continues under Hoiberg, and with that said... Here is the same info for Hoiberg's tenure at Iowa State: Year -------- Starting -- High -- Low -- Final -- (Strength of Schedule) ======================================== 2011 - (16-16) -- #175 -- #32 -- #175 -- #81 -- (#78) 2012 - (23-11) -- #120 -- #26 -- #125 -- #26 -- (#32) 2013 - (23-12) -- #62 ---- #26 -- #65 ---- #30 -- (#50) 2014 - (28-8) ---- #39 ---- #10 -- #39 ---- #20 -- (#4) 2015 - (25-9) ---- #25 ---- #14 -- #32 ---- #16 -- (#6) Take aways here McDermott left Iowa State in a shambles it seems, and even though his record in year 1 was lackluster, Hoiberg did in fact improve the team that year The turnaround there was shocking and nearly instantaneous Improvement was significant and sustained, look at the Strength of Schedule component! So what do you guys think? Comments are welcome. If someone would like to go through and compile some recruiting rankings data, it would be interesting to compare the two.
  11. So here we are, October 1st and it's time once again to start the annual KenPom Rankings Thread. By now I'd imagine most of you know how this works. We'll start off the year with the final rankings of last season for each team in the Big Ten and each non-conference team on our schedule. Also included will be the 2018 preseason rankings (in parenthesis) as well as 2019 NCAA Tournament teams color coded in red and 2019 NIT Tournament teams color coded in blue. Pomeroy's preseason rankings won't be out for a few more weeks, but just for reference, Bart Torvik does and he has us entering the 19-20 season at #95. 13th in the Big Ten. I'd expect Pomeroy's number for us look pretty similar. Bad thing too is our non-con schedule won't be doing us any favors so even if we win 9 of our 11 non con games we probably won't move up too much. Finally, if you notice any errors please let me know. I think I got everything updated right here but I've been pretty distracted at work. Also, just as I say every year, don't forget to click here to see all the previous years' KenPom threads (I highly recommend going back through them, they're always fun to read). Here we go! KenPom rankings as of 4-08-19 ========================= B1G (0-0): (13) -> 3. Michigan State Final Four (24) -> 6. Michigan S16 (18) -> 9. Purdue E8 (20) -> 16. Wisconsin R68 (30) -> 24. Maryland R32 (35) -> 37. Iowa R32 (32) -> 43. Penn State (41) -> 44. Ohio State R32 (60) -> 46. Minnesota R32 (38) -> 47. Nebraska 2nd RD (28) -> 52. Indiana 3rd RD (58) -> 74. Northwestern (149) -> 78. Rutgers (85) -> 84. Illinois Non-Conference (0-0): 322. UC Riverside 273. Southern Utah 92. South Dakota State 1st RD 335. Southern ---Cayman Islands Classic--- 207. Washington State 156. / 113. George Mason / Old Dominion R68 180. / 53. / 131. / 99. Colorado State / New Mexico State R68 / Loyola 1st RD / South Florida ---B1G/ACC Challenge--- 115. @Georgia Tech 55. @Creighton 3rd RD 271. North Dakota 287. Texas A&M Corpus Christi
  12. Looked today and on Kenpom.com, and I see Nebraska comes in as easily the lowest rated B1G team, clocking in at a whopping 216. Next lowest rated? Northwestern. At 90. Here are the rest... 67 - Penn State 54 - Illinois 53 - Iowa 37 - Purdue 26 - Minnesota 12 - Michigan 5 - Wisconsin 4 - Michigan State 3 - Indiana 2 - Ohio State Remember the days when we used to chastise Doc for scheduling games against teams in the +200 RPI range? Yeah... Happy Halloween everybody!
