30 NET/27 Kenpom/30 BART
- Thread starter sport2231
- Start date
Is there still preseason stuff in Kenpom? I know it probably makes it more predictively accurate but it's annoying.
It should be washed out by now. I don't know what exactly is the cause for the difference though.
Rutgers will finish between 1st and 4th in the conference. They have already played against the toughest 3 opponents in the conference on the road, with two of those three losses being close. Unless they get riddled with injuries, they are safely in the tournament. The question is how high will their seed be.
Not a big fan of absolute statements. Things can go sideways quickly. We could finished in 1st or (where we were picked) 12th. Odds are closer to 1st than 12th. But gotta play the games first. Can't count any game as a win until we earn it on the court.
Nice attempt to jinx. We have 13 wins in the eyes of the committee. Need quite a few more.
There is no evidence right now that Rutgers will finish in the top 4 league positions . There still are twelve games remaining where parity dominates and Rutgers will be the underdog in every remaining road game.Every remaining home game is super important to win.
It's 29 on Ken Pom. Defense efficiency down to 12th from 9th, offense efficiency down to 83rd from 79th. Just have to right the ship we'll go back up.
Sole possession of 3rd right now where it counts: the standings. Granted that will change tomorrow when Maryland plays Indiana, and the winner joins us.
Lsu is headed in. The AZ loss takes them out i think. Memphis and prolly Tex Tech go out. 3 schools for 2 spots...RU, Wichita St, and Indiana should they beat Maryland
I'll come back to this thread on Sunday. 15 March around 7:00 PM.
That's all I'm concerned about.

Love the thread and updates. Minor suggestion: since the thread title changes don't get captured on this site (they used to), you might want to consider posting the updated thread titles in the actual latest posts in the thread, so there's a record of the evolution of the rankings. Makes it more interesting to look back through, especially if people start arguing about what ranking we were on x date. It's annoying that the thread titles aren't retained after editing (I edit thread titles regularly in my weather threads, so now I sometimes add extra info to the latest post).
not to be a jerk. But I’m too lazy for that. Anyone else is welcome to reply with the latest update
Bart has the rankings archived on his site, and https://bracketologists.com/ has the NET for each date as well. Kenpom is the only one that doesn't.
We pass the eye test for this.. now we will see if we pass the HEART test... and many gut checks. And that's up to the players.
The rankings love Purdue. A chance that sticks as a Quad 1 win at the end.
