    Efficiency should go up towards the end of the season.  The game slows down in the tourney.  Each team that survives is usually playing at their peak.  6 out of 40 games is not generally going to massively sway 99.9% of teams numbers.  

    If you want to pay the full kenpom script and show more than one outlier than off the top of your head knock yourself out.  Im not here to argue about this.  Not much else to be said.  

    Kenpom weights for more recent games.  So yes 6 games will massively skew your Kenpom ranking if they are your last 6 games

    Its the best we have and a really good indicator of things.  Not much else to discuss about that.  

    You can’t use a statistic based on data after an event to then predict that event.

    Who was ranked outside of the top 25 in both coming into the tourney?

    I can’t remember all of them off the top of my head. But Duke was in the 50s in D at the start of the 2015 tourney. 
     

    When I looked it up all of them started the tourney with 1 stat in top 25.  So thats the real key

    Iowa is a pretty good offensive team. The Sandfort kid can shoot, and Keegan Murray's twin brother Kris can play...not as good as Keegan, but pretty good...

    But, like Iowa teams of the past, can they guard?

    I don’t know if they can.  I just know starting in February they won’t

    This article is 4 years old but has data on a long list of former champs.  Kembas Uconn was the outlier.  Everyone else had adj o and d inside top 19.

    New article.  https://vendettasportsmedia.com/using-kenpom-predict-2021-22-ncaa-basketball-champion/

    That’s end of the year ranks. Which as I stated is a faulty way to look at it since winning 6 games is going to naturally raise your Kenpom ranks

    I would assume that his prediction is based off the assumption that IU is a larger brand than the average Div 1 school and our basketball team in general has a greater following. Thus, skewing the value higher for our athletes. As far as I know no numbers have been shared for our athletes.

    Yep I have heard TJD alone is at 6 figures but that’s just talk.

    I love single elimination...

    Especially last night 😁

    In all seriousness, I think it should be just one game...you didn't win your division, so we're giving you a shot...Mano y mano...1 game...

    Look at the NCAA tournament and how exciting that is...

    That’s different everybody is single elimination there and yeah they didn’t win their divisions.  Both both teams won more games than the braves.  Heck the Dodgers won 18 more game the braves. 
     

    I think it needs restructured at least.  Division winners get a spot with the next two best records also getting in. Worst two records playing the single elimination game.  So would have been Braves/Cards last night
