UK beat Miss (#78 in Kenpom) by 22. UL's best win is #116 Grand Canyon
- Thread starter SilentsAreGolden
- Start date
We've lost to the # 46 and 48 teams. They've had close losses to # 6 and 14 teams.
That will come in handy when they award titles to the team with the most close losses to good teams.
Doesn't inspire much confidence in a given system when it values barely losing to #6 and #14 more than winning against #9 and #5.
UL obliterated bad teams. We had a lot of "meh" wins over bad to soso teams. Doesn't mean they're better, but a rankling based only on stats is going to make them look better. KenPom is one of the best ranking systems out there but none is perfect, and all are better at the end of the year than halfway through.
I wonder if Frank Martin consulted Pitino when he made his schedule for the 2015-16 season.
UK won all those games by double digits including wins over Duke ,Arizona State,and UL. UL played at home in all but 3 games and lost 2 of those.Beating teams over #200 RPI doesn't make you a better team than the one who had you down by double digits until officials made it closer to the spread
Remember when they were trying to hype up the St. Louis game. The Billikens are now 4-5 on the season with losses to Morehead, Illinois State, UT-Martin etc., etc.
I was trying to figure out who their signature win was against Kennesaw State or UMKC, but it was indeed Grand Canyon.

Aside, GCU is growing by leaps and bounds (pun...antelopes).
The school is expanding very fast. They are private and Christian. They are putting lots of money into all of their programs, sports included. They may start making the NCAAT in a few years.
