This is exactly what happened. Defense looked better than usual this early. Offense hasn’t figured it out just yet especially Jackson, Sellers, shooting from outside wasn’t good. Sju will get a ton better and Michigan actually shot well in this one. The one that got away was Lendeborg. He...

SJU also has all 5 projected starters making pre-season All Big East team. Both teams will be fantastic this season.

Guard play overall won’t be suspect. We have some super talented sg’s. PG play may be a work in progress. Darling was a conference POY at PG at worst case scenario. At best, we also have Sellers and Jackson. I’ll reserve judgement on sellers until I see him against competition, but he’s an...

Agree totally. And sticking to the topic it’s why I argued that kenpom’s preseason rankings are very difficult, but get stronger as season starts.

Absolutley was. Especially shooting. We were one of the best ranked defensive teams in the country last year. Offense and shooting a huge problem down the stretch.

I feel good because we have a lot more offense and athleticism than last year. Lots of shooters when our Achilles heel was by far shooting last year . I think the talent on offense is a ton better and will make this SJU team hard to stop if they are able to replicate that sju defensife...

Kenpom and Evan both use math equations. That’s exactly what I’m refuting and the topic of the thread is.

sounds great but college ball has changed. Teams are rebuilding instantly.

Just silly. Not arguing UConn’s illustrious history.

What are you talking about? I watched UConn all season including in the post season. We don't know what will be solved until this season. Demary is a nice player but from what I see UConn fans are putting McNeeley into “problem” category rather than the guy who was a difference maker. As a...

As I said, I think 3 of 4 of last years final 4 went out in first round year prior. I don’t care about last year though. SjU was still building

No, his metrics love returning players. The teams with returning guys will push teams higher. It’s all metrics from last season which are useless entering a new year.

Actually Tarris outplayed Zuby in first matchup but was outplayed second matchup. We have a very, very different roster this year and it’s much more talented. Now we have Bryce Hopkins and Mitchell up front as well when we really had no power forward at all last year. Ruben Prey back as...

Ken Pom’s analytics don’t really mean much entering a new year with new teams which was my original point. Sure UConn analytics do because you have returners. Lots of the top 4 last year were not veteran returners.

I know you guys are still excited annd hang your hat on a competitive game against Florida but that doesn’t mean much entering this season.
