Is Drexel the Philadelphia school that is too irrelevant to be one of the Big 5?

Wofford beats Tar Heels.

Without Cole Anthony and Leaky Black, but still impressive win for Wofford, especially a rebuilding year after Fletcher Magee and Cameron Jackson graduated.
 
Ohio state getting blown out by a terrible Minnesota team losing the #1 overall spot before they were given it. 2019 college basketball is totally unpredictable. No one is safe. Memphis at full strength might be the best team.

Big 5 started in 1955 and Drexel didn't become division 1 until 1973. I guess once things get established they just kind of stick.

We have been giving Hurley a beating the last few days for some players' shot selection, but I can just imagine what UNC fans must be doing to Williams right now. They looked like a mediocre playground team. Their fundamentals are terrible, with basics like entry passes to the post being an adventure.
 
It will be a shame if we don’t win the national Championship this year the way things are going. Wasted opportunity to steal a banner in a totally level playing field.

Good post. Oregon is a team to watch too for championship consideration.

The bigger the game, the better Payton Pritchard plays. Juiston is an elite rebounder. Mathis is a knock down shooter. Frontcourt was their biggest weakness but now top freshman N'Faly Dante is eligible. Add Duarte/Richardson/Okoro to the mix and that's an excellent veteran top 7 plus three more highly recruited freshmen on top of that.
 
There is no favorite to win the natty right now. Heck I don’t know who you even put at 1! Kansas?!

Love their talent, but my concern with Kansas: who's their steady guard in a close game?

I don't trust Dotson or Garrett as their point guards. Who's the last team to win the NCAA without a true lead PG?

A few weeks ago, you could make the same claim for Gonzaga, but Joel Ayayi is playing incredibly lately. Had a huge summer playing for the French national team and he parlayed that into the starting PG job, taking it away from two talented grad transfers.

How many is Kasongo averaging??
 
Ohio State gets spanked by a bad Minnesota team and only drops 2 spots. The crazy thing is, I can't even argue with putting tOSU at 5 because everyone is losing.

Great point from Ken Pom himself

I saw that and was wondering how many different teams he has had ranked #1 thus far. his last ranking had OSU at 1 and they just lost

I mean there’s no standout team, the field is that wide open

Aren't his rankings determined by an algorithm with no input from him?

the question stands, it's still his ranking. he was being critical of the polls so i'm wondering how many different teams his algorithm had ranked #1 before they lost

and Iona loses to (2-7)Princeton...these teams we’ve beat arent doing us any favors. Miami against Temple later is kind of a wash because we play Temple twice.

Providence's guards are really bad tonight
6-6 on the year

That Umass grad transfer Pipkins looks horrendous. He was first team all A-10 last year and averaged like 22 points per or something absurd.
