Sweet relief to finally see this program turning around. This team has gotten better by leaps and bounds every game. If it weren’t for a Bouknight off court mishap our record might even be a win or two closer to 6-0.

It's still too early in the season to jump like that in kenpom. We started to low based on last year I believe.

57 after today’s win. 10 positions up.
To me, I was talking to my boss about it today at work, with a win over Florida, a 2OT loss by one point to 18 ranked (and undefeated) Xavier how does this team not climb higher? The unwatchable loss to St. Joe's doesn't help no doubt, but its forgotten about at this point. They looked like a completely different team against Florida and in Charleston. We've got something to cheer about and be proud of again folks!

You're not going to jump that many each game, especially since we were already in the 60/70s. Need more possessions for a greater sample size.
Ok I’ll retract. There’s no way there’s 56 teams better than us. Especially from what I saw Friday night and tiday with everyone playing thier roles, JB becoming a star, us being 10 deep and out guards playing controlled. We re deff top 25-30 to me. I get the Kenpom tho.

The sweet spot for offensive efficiency is 30. If you crack top 30 the odds go up exponentially that you can make a Final 4 run. History dictates that per KP. UConn 13-14 was the only real anomaly.

The 2018 numbers will slowly filter out and they'll rise more. Houston still above them based on last year. So far, Houston looks worse than us.

What helps more a Florida or a Xavier win.

Kenpom wise, I’m not sure. But resume wise we want florida to be a great win.
Florida. We need Florida to play well the rest of the season so that win against them will be a very good win. Xavier can survive one loss
What I thought and given there were three Florida fans behind us pulling for UConn against X rated and were genuinely interested in our team I was planning on rooting for Florida.

What a fun tournament this was to be at. Even though we lost the Xavier game it was an awesome atmosphere, and I actually felt pretty good leaving the game. Can’t beat that seating for $20 a game.

Wife and I loved it. The sound system, the intimacy of the arena, Charleston and the fans for all teams but most of all UConn’s fans made this the ultimate experience. Who cares that UConn is growing up before our eyes.:)

It's WAY too early still to read into KenPom and what it says (honestly not reliable until mid-Jan when it's purely the current season data) but I did discover:

Memphis current AAC projection: 14-4
Houston current AAC projection: 14-4
Cincy current AAC projection: 14-4

UConn current AAC projection: 15-3

By projections, I mean games where we have 50.1%+ chance of winning. KenPom actually has us going 11-7 for accounting for games when that 49.9% and up hits.

It has us only losing at Cincy, at Houston and at Memphis (along with losing vs Indiana at MSG and at Nova).

At this point, I don't think I'll settle for 11-7, but I think 13-5 is my new goal.
