Message: [QUOTE="Storrs South, post: 3014749, member: 7275"] Thanks KO. The number of cupcakes and how "cupcakey" i.e. extremely bad these cupcake teams are hurts big time. UConn should never be playing any teams +300 on KenPom and yet this team played Manhattan and New Hampshire along with Lafayette all the way back at 294. I know you can't predict how this plays out but you have a sense directionally of where a team is going to end up and having that many of them is just awful and can't be completely counteracted even by playing Cuse, FSU, Iowa, Nova, and Arizona (oh and Tulane in conference at 299 doesn't help either). It's also just bad for attendance and doesn't help at all come tournament time. I know Hurley will fix this, but it is annoying at this point. Tomorrow is also the first day KenPom doesn't rely on any preseason analytics so let's see if that shakes the number up at all since UConn was KenPom 171 last year. [/QUOTE]
