How the hell is ncst 6 spots higher than us on Kenpom? Their best win is Clemson followed by freaking Wake Forest. They also lost to Georgia Tech. What a joke. At some point beating shitty teams by a lot shouldn’t give that much of a boost.

The folks who design advanced metrics have looked at capping margin of victory and are pretty much in consensus that doing so hurts their metrics’ predictive ability.

As a KU fan, Missouri is our version of Duke (despite that getting screwed up when they left for the SEC) and Kansas State is NCState. I think.

So, KState paying WAY too much money to Jerome Tang and them being an absolute dumpster fire, having just lost to Iowa St 95-61 and dropping to 1-9 in conference, is such a treat to savor. His buy out is I think a ridiculous 19 million and they don’t have anyone to pay that.

Always fun to watch little bro twist in the wind.

That’s appropriate since there was a period back in the late-90s through the mid-2000s where Kansas was coached by a UNC alum (Roy Williams) while Missouri was coached by a Duke alum (Quin Snyder). Oddly enough, Snyder used to be married to Larry Brown’s daughter.

Of course we all know that, but I preferred when who you beat was more important than how much you win your games by.
