December 31, 20231 yr Author houston’s AdjD is the lowest i’ve ever seen for a team heading into conference play. even against cupcakes, 83.6 points per 100 possessions is unreal. kelvin sampson is (imo) a marginally better version of rick barnes in this sense- the way that he recruits and coaches makes his teams a nightmare to face during the regular season, even if it doesn’t lend itself to winning 6 games in a row in march. there might be a new big boy on the. lock in this league.

January 3, 20241 yr Author Purdue, Arizona, SDSU, Alabama, Marquette, UNC, Wisconsin, Memphis, and Tennessee with the toughest non-con schedules out the schools that project to get top 4 seeds. will be interesting to see how that impacts tourney seeding.
January 7, 20241 yr Author kansas, ou, ttu, tcu, and texas all between 114.3-114.9 adjusted points per 100 possessions.
January 15, 20241 yr Author some notable kenpom stats: Texas: start: 16 peak: 16 valley: 43 now: 43 Ole Miss: start: 82 peak: 70 valley: 130 now: 70 Tennessee: start: 8 peak: 5 valley: 11 now: 8 Marquette: start: 11 peak: 5 valley: 19 now: 19 Oklahoma: start: 48 peak: 20 valley: 48 now: 20 A&M: start: 24 peak: 13 valley: 35 now: 35
January 18, 20241 yr Author houston’s defense is as good as i’ve ever seen at this point in the season. and they’re 0-2 in the big xii lol. will be interesting to see what their stats look like come the end of conference play.
January 23, 20241 yr with a road loss at #1 Houston and a win at home against "Top 10 BYU," Tech dropped from 30 to 31. LOLz. Lots of sorting remains to be seen. Edited January 23, 20241 yr by slorch
January 23, 20241 yr I still love that kenpom whiffed on our first 4 conference games coming out of the noncon schedule. His predictions should tighten up over time, but that was pretty bad.

January 23, 20241 yr Author the gap in AdjD between no.1 Houston and no.2 Tennessee is bigger than the gap between Tennessee and no.28 New Mexico. 👀 Edited January 23, 20241 yr by shadow_operative
January 24, 20241 yr I think we do better than 4-8 down the stretch. Having to integrate Disu so late into the non-conference schedule means we're really still figuring out the best mix of rotations etc... The team is showing improvement the last couple of games, and I expect that to continue. If Iowa State can lose in Norman, they sure as fuck can lose in Austin.
January 24, 20241 yr My guess is we steal the TCU or Iowa State game. 9-9 absolutely feels on the table if this team plays to their potential. I have a tough time going above that mark considering the two crappy losses already and the margin for error we are working with. Would obviously be safely in the tournament with 9 wins.

January 28, 20241 yr Kansas is middle of the Conference and has 2 of the top 5 performers? LOLz. More like Ken-phog. and no, I'm not suggesting Red Raider be on the list, as there is certainly not one guy who has stood out for us. It has varied by game, bigtime.

January 29, 20241 yr 4 minutes ago, slorch said: The other 60% of their starting 5 must suck... I think unironically they have a big depth problem. They have 4 guys playing 32+ minutes a game and a pretty big dropoff after that.

I'm no basketball expert, but it's possible that we should have prioritized drawing more than 10 fouls on their 5 starters.

February 3, 20241 yr Author jumped up to 26 today after the big road win. record now projected at 20-11 (9-9). i’ll post a full update tonight after all of the games are over and the stats compiled. Edited February 3, 20241 yr by shadow_operative
