Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3223632, member: 1414"] Those KenPom numbers aren’t what determines anything. They are a predictive measure that he adjusts after they fail or succeed at predicting. In this case they were obviously wrong. And you can’t compare numbers one season to the next. It’s meaningless. My memory of 1999 was that there were two teams at #1 all year, Duke or UConn. MSU was a clear #3 and everybody else was meh. The level of talent that year wasn’t high. So a very good Duke team looked better by those metrics than it was. Plenty of other teams in that era would have beaten them. And UConn was the better team in 1999, clearly. So that reveals what? It reveals that KenPom adjEM isn’t a stat that tells you who the best teams are. It almost never is. It’s flawed. [/QUOTE]
