Kenpom Update and some other Numbers.

[bbncal02]

We took a step back up to Number 19.

We're ranked 5th in Offense but 90th in defense. That ranking in defense is the worst in the conference. If that doesn't improve, we're going to take some beatings if we don't shoot the lights out.

No SEC team is ranked T10 in both. Closest is Auburn at 1 and 14. Only Duke and Iowa St are in T10 in both right now.

EweTee is 20 and 2 making them the best defensive team in the conference. (Houston is Number 1 in the country defensively)

Our next opponent, UGA, is 72nd in Offense and 27th in Defense (Meaning we will play pretty much as T25 defense on the road). Georgia currently sits 36 in NET meaning this is a Q1 Road Game.

We currently sit 11 in the NET. We need to win a UGA tomorrow to keep solidifying our resume. A 10 point win would really show we aren't fluky. But let's just get the dub.

Just win, baby.

More KP stuff, predicted to win by 1 point.

In fact, in three of the next five we are predicted to win by just a single point.

And this is BEFORE the schedule gets tougher in Feb when we have to face UT twice and travel to Miss.

Check his record on predictions.


But don’t bet with them.

Thank you for the info! Of course, now I don't feel quite as good as I did before I clicked on your post.

Most conference games are going to have tight spreads. Only maybe a game like Auburn vs. South Carolina at home or something would be a decent margin. Like 70% of the conference are tourney caliber teams at least, half are top 25.

Yep.
This is why this year I suspect the conference as a whole will have the best home win pct compared to other conferences.......

Because in most cases that it the only thing that will be separating the teams.
