Pomeroy rank, winners, since he began 2002: 2 5 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 9 1 1 8 4 UCONN was the #8 and #9 on that list. Not sure how they won either title, certainly the outlier. |

Duke was nowhere near as good as Kentucky last year by any metric. Kentucky was the best team in the history of KenPom's formula (surpassing 2008 KU). And yet they didn't win it all because of the nature of the single game elimination tournament.

The final margin was 3 and as someone on the Duke board showed, over the last 3 months it was only 1.5. That isn't that big a margin

.9757 to .9594 (KenPom), 99.19 to 97.89 (Sagarin overall), 99.44 to 96.34 (Sagarin Predictor), 28.72 to 24.97 (Simple Rating System). Duke was a very good team last year, but they weren't anywhere near the best team in NCAA history (which Kentucky was).

Self said he's not going to tax his players in the Big 12 tournament. Alluded to cutting minutes perhaps. Said if we're gonna lose might as well be early to get rest but still going to try to win it. Obvious BS on that. Hopefully we drop the first game to be honest.

The estimated score the final 3 months (incl tourney) was Duke losing by a bucket, 75-73. If you say that isn't "anywhere near" Kentucky, have at it.

Last year's Kentucky was undeniably a superior team to Duke and one of the greatest NCAA teams ever. There's only so many ways that can be said and I'm not sure why anybody would waste their time trying to refute that. Last edited by KC_Connection; 03-08-2016 at 11:21 AM.. |

It would be nice to give Wayne Selden a few more games to get going again.

Also, just to illustrate the significance of such an expected point margin in basketball, I'll just mention that in the two Warriors/Cavs matchups this year in the NBA, the Warriors were statistically projected to win their home game by 7 and lose their road game by 1.5. Split the difference and that would make the Warriors a favorite in a neutral court game between the two teams by about 3 points. That doesn't mean the 2016 Warriors aren't far superior to the 2016 Cavs or that they aren't one of the greatest teams in NBA history. They certainly are. It just means that the nature of the sport dictates they'd still lose somewhere around 40% of their games to them on a neutral court. The same would apply with 2015 Kentucky (one of the greatest NCAA teams ever) and 2015 Duke (a great NCAA team but nothing special).
