Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3082292, member: 168"] This team finished a good 70 spots higher than last year (KenPom) and 30 higher in Sagarin relative to last year. We had more wins and a better point differential. We didn't lose to mid-majors. This year's team was roughly equivalent to the team two years ago that finished with the same record. That team was about 15 spots higher than this year's in KenPom and Sagarin, but a thing to consider is the talent differential. That team, though it lost Larrier and Gilbert, still had Adams Purvis Facey Brimah Jackson Enoch Durham Vital Adams, Purvis, Facey, Jackson, Enoch, and Durham were all Top 100 kids. They'd all play more than anyone on this team. Even considering the injuries, that team was way more stacked than this years. So Hurley got the same record with slightly worst metrics from a team that had way less high D1 talent. (And that team lost to Northeastern and Wagner with a fully healthy roster.) [/QUOTE]
