Alright here we go. This is what I like to see. We are in 1st! Bring on the cats. Wait a minute? We have a tie. One week into conference play we have had an interesting slate of games. Next week tends to be even more interesting
This is where Greg will give hot takes and predictions of the week. Every Sunday so stay tuned for Big 12 standings with Greg

Add a column for kenpom rank, as well as something that would indicate likelihood of tournament selection (by % if possible).

West Virginia 4
KU 5
Baylor 6
Iowa State 27
Texas Tech 28
K-State 33
TCU 34
OSU 35
OU 69
TEXAS 78
This week's game slate includes
KSU @ KU 1/3/2017
8pm ESPN2
Well let's face it this game is gonna be an L but a great learning opportunity for our guy Sneed, this will be a tough game per usual however KU has had some trouble this year early in games so the first half should be fun, 2nd half not so much.
TCU @ OU 1/3/2017
8pm ESPNU
TCU has been a suprise this year and they are really really good at passing the ball and creating plays to their guy, Vladimir Brodziansky. OU has had trouble lately and will look to simply become a better team. Their guy Jordan Woodard has to do it all in the one man sooner circus so I see them having trouble right out the gate because TCU is miles ahead of OU this year.
West Virginia @ Texas Tech
1/3/2017
8:15pm ESPN
West Virginia is firing on all cylinders as seen in their impressive road victory at OSU. I don't really consider this to be a tough game for West Virginia as they are tough to keep up with on both sides of the ball considering they are averaging 91 points and 13 steals a game. Texas Tech didn't really have a non con that prepared them for Big 12 play just as oscar and KSU. As for Texas Tech they didn't really have trouble at ISU until the end which is intriguing and they lost to Auburn (Kenpom 97) by 2 in the Cancun Challenge. Texas Tech is still a mystery because if they get there crap together they could be very good this year but things just aren't clicking for the Veteran lineup of all upperclassmen.

i don't know as though there's a direct correlation b/w conference games and injuries
i do know that the better your competition, the better you become. i think we should do it, the b12 would be breeding some players
I say we play a pre conference season tournament in KC for a week over Christmas, kind of like the old Big 8.
However, it won't be like the end of season conference tournament which we have to keep. The first 2 days the teams are split into 2 five team pods and they all play each other. That's 4 games. Then you have 2 four team brackets for cross pool play according to how you finish in your pool over the last 2 days. The 2 worst teams left out of the brackets play a 2 game series. All these games count for your record before conference play starts. You award 3 trophies, 1 for the top bracket, 1 for the next bracket, and 1 for the worst loser.
Bam, 6 more games to get 24 for everyone.

The ft rate/3 pt rate/3 pt % are the #'s to watch for me. They seem weird right now.
They are, but sample size is tiny.
I will say 3pt rate is encouraging, because we do a good job of not allowing a lot and opponents' percentage is likely to come down to the league average. However, FT rate and % won't stay where they are at either.
I like to see the high 2pt% and differential as well, plus really good TO numbers on both sides.

It's reasonable that when shooting goes up, oboarding will go down. I don't think oscar has completely gone away from oboarding, this team just doesn't need to as much.
why? i guess you're suggesting that having people in position to oboard has a fixed cost while the reward declines in value as the number of potential oboards declines? i dunno if that makes sense or not, it would depend on how finely balanced the costs and rewards are. just looking at weber's kstate teams, there doesn't appear to be any inverse correlation between efg and oboard rate prior to this year. unless there is a much clearer relationship in the data from his teams at previous schools, i would not assume that either the 2016-17 team's efg or oboard rate is the result of a strategical decision.
Post by: kso_FAN on January 08, 2017, 05:30:22 PM
If anything he's learned from having really bad oboarding teams his last few years at Illinois and has put more emphasis on it here.

1) we did a great job in TO%. Our is only 16.6 and we forced 24.5
2) we have done a good job all year keeping the other teams FTR low. Same with these 8 games only allowing 29.7
3) Each of these Big 12 teams got over 50 on us on 2pt% (56,55,51). That's an area we regressed some. The 5 non B12 teams were only 68-168 vs Us, 40.5%
Post by: Mixed-Nutz on January 08, 2017, 07:46:38 PM
The 3 Big 12 games + 5 games away from Home vs BC/Terps/SLU/Csu/Wsu. (So not counting our home games vs small conf teams)
1) we did a great job in TO%. Our is only 16.6 and we forced 24.5
2) we have done a good job all year keeping the other teams FTR low. Same with these 8 games only allowing 29.7

Not fouling is weird. We have foul a ton for the last decade. I am not sure the 2pt% defense is that bad, I think we have had a little bad fortune with teams rising up and hitting shots. I don't think we have given up a ton of uncontested 2s at home.

TUESDAY 1/10/2017
Baylor @ West Virginia
6pm ESPN2
This is my most anticipated game of the week, seeing as how Huggins has a great team this year and we can usually count on them upsetting one team a year. I think WV will give Baylor a run for their money and this game will be absolutely nuts. Players to watch for on WV are the dynamic duo of forwards Eva Ahmad who leads the team with 12.9 ppg and shoots a studly 55FG%. The other big man named Nathan Adrian is an absolute rebounding monster as he averages 6.5 Rebounds per game. Baylor on the other hand has a studly monster of a man in Johnathan Motley who leads the team with 15.8PPG AND 9.4 Rebounds per game. There is so much to watch but these are the guys I think who will be big difference makers for this game.
KU @ Oklahoma
8pm ESPN2
Oklahoma is awful. And it doesn't help that one of their two seniors is injured. One thing I liked about OU when I saw them play the cats was their relentless need to jump after every shot and try to make a rebound. I can honestly say that was the only thing I thought was good about them. I think KU will steam roll them, it will be at least a 20pt game and the most empty OU's arena has been in a while.
KSTATE @Texas Tech
8:15pm ESPNNEWS
This game will be a good match up and a true road test for brucketball and his family of wildcats. Oscar loves to get his team mad before a game and let them unleash the #DOOM. The obvious problems for the Wildcats seemed to have been fixed as Ft% has risen and Kstate has matured in its shooting ability and pure grit as they take chances and risks that pay off in the long run. Tech has had a familiar slate as their non con wasn't the best and have had a tough game against WV. I see this game as one Tech can't lose to keep their playoff hopes alive just as much as the Cats. This game will come down to who makes the least amount of mistakes and if I'm reading _Fan's stats correctly then that team will be Tech. A strength of Tech's is shooting from beyond the arc so if the cats can shut them down outside and dominate the boards then this game could be a lot easier than I think it will be.

There is so much to watch but these are the guys I think who will be big difference makers for this game.
KU @ Oklahoma
8pm ESPN2
Oklahoma is awful. And it doesn't help that one of their two seniors is injured. One thing I liked about OU when I saw them play the cats was their relentless need to jump after every shot and try to make a rebound. I can honestly say that was the only thing I thought was good about them. I think KU will steam roll them, it will be at least a 20pt game and the most empty OU's arena has been in a while.
KSTATE @Texas Tech
8:15pm ESPNNEWS
This game will be a good match up and a true road test for brucketball and his family of wildcats. Oscar loves to get his team mad before a game and let them unleash the #DOOM. The obvious problems for the Wildcats seemed to have been fixed as Ft% has risen and Kstate has matured in its shooting ability and pure grit as they take chances and risks that pay off in the long run. Tech has had a familiar slate as their non con wasn't the best and have had a tough game against WV. I see this game as one Tech can't lose to keep their playoff hopes alive just as much as the Cats. This game will come down to who makes the least amount of mistakes and if I'm reading _Fan's stats correctly then that team will be Tech. A strength of Tech's is shooting from beyond the arc so if the cats can shut them down outside and dominate the boards then this game could be a lot easier than I think it will be.
Goodnight everyone and Go Cats

FWIW, possible of a Baylor slide is real. Top 3 might not be so locked up in conference. There adjusted performance per game script (lead average per minute) isn't great and sliding hard.

For sure, but hey have spent a ton of time not in the lead for an undefeated team. Their last two offensive performance at home have been disappointing. It is nothing new for Baylor to take a step back in the national ranks after entering conference play.

Jamie Dixon is showing what good coaching can do. He has taken a team that won 2 Big 12 games last year (8 total in Trent Johnson's 4 years) and is already having great success. His only 3 losses are to Top 25 kenpom teams. He shouldn't win Big 12 COY at this point (it should be all Self's if he wins another title or Drew/Huggs if they supplant him), but he should be 2nd or 3rd.

I'd like to take a moment here to just sort of remind myself how completely ridiculous and amazing it is that Dixon left Pitt to go to TCU (his alma mater or whatever, i know). The B12 coaching cadre is so incredible.
He left because the program at Pitt had grown stale and he had the chance to go to his alma mater, in a power conference, before he had what absolutely would have been a hot seat season if he stayed. The timing was perfect for Jamie.

No, not really.
ACC: 5 teams allow >41%, FSU the worst at 46.1%.
Big East: 2 allow 42%.
Big 10: 4 allow >40%, Michigan at 52.5%. !!!!
Pac 12: 4 allow >40%, Washington State at 45%.
Ours is bad, no question, but I do still believe that 3PT% defense is a bit of a lottery.

It's the only thing that is truly abysmal. Our 2pt D and DReb% could be slightly better, sure.
The 2pt 3pt Ft shooting % are all solid for us. We also have almost +5.0% on TO rate.
Teams are shooting 18 3pt per game. If they were masking 33% like past 4 Weber years, it would be great. But 8-8.5 makes in 18 tries is 7- 8 more pts per game. That's huge. 44-90 3pt allowed last 5 games

52% is freaking insane.
Sure it's a bit of a lottery but I also think our inability to make perimeter players uncomfortable, ever plays a role. We don't guard players on the outside hard and don't have much length to bother shooters. I'm not saying I necessarily have an issue with our defensive philosophy, but eliminating drivers and cutters does have some consequence.

Defense must get better, but this offense is really fun to watch.
FWIW, oscar is on the verge of having the best shooting team EVER at K-State since the inclusion of the 3PT line in 1986-87. This year's eFG% of 55.9% ranks just ahead of 1987-88 at 55.6%. Currently 8th since 1948-49 in FG% (.490) and 5th overall in 3PT% (.383). oscar and his staff deserve a lot of credit for developing players and an offense that shoots the ball this well.

You know what else, I don't give a eff that it was "their" players that they had to "runoff". So don't respond to that effect. It had to be done, took huge balls to do, and is seemingly paying off. So eff anyone who raises that tired circular talking point.

ESPN U 8pm 1/24/2017
KSU @ Iowa St. :Carl:
Iowa State beat OU who has recently gained momentum thanks to star sooner Jordan Woodard in DOUBLE OVERTIME 92-87. I don't know how much of a difference one guy can make but that is a very close game. The spread for tonight's game is 4.5 ISU. We have lost to Iowa State out of the last 5 meetings 4 times. I see this game being close in Ames as oscar has cracked under pressure in Ames the last couple times we have played there, however I wouldn't be surprised if we pull away with the dub. oscar still surprises me any chance he gets.
ESPN 6pm
KU @ WVU
TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT CDUB!
IS WVU THE BEST IN THE BIG 12??? FIND OUT TONIGHT!
With West Virginia coming off of a loss on the road to KU's Big Bro they will surely show KU who is boss. KU has a very tough slate this week with this game against WVU in Morgantown and then they travel to play The Kentucky Cats in the SEC challenge this weekend with Baylor in AFH the following Monday. I see this game getting very heated very fast as Huggy will come out with his game face on ready to knock off the number one team in the conference . If KU loses tonight they will end up becoming 7-1 in conference play and making the race for the regular season title very close. My wish for the little brother is for KU to go 0-3 in the coming stretch of games however one can dream. I am supporting West Virginia in this contest since I would love for Huggy to hand the whiney Squawks their first L in confy play of the season.
As of now Big 12 LEAGUE STANDINGS are as listed.
Squawks 7-0
Johnathan Motley 6-1
#lockhimup 4-3
Huggy and the Huggettes 4-3
Iowa State Cardinals 4-3
Tech 3-4
Horny Toads 3-5
Cows 2-6
Jordan Woodard 2-6
Shaka Not so Smart 2-6

He is getting a Rebound every 5.5 minutes. That's better than DJamer, Wes or Wade. He is 53% eFG and 5-5 FT. His 7/8 Ast TO ratio is one thing he can do better

For the season they are 53.4 on eFG & 53.0 on 2pt%.
They played a tough non con (7 of 12 teams are top 100 RPI).
Both eFG and 2pt were about 8-9% better in the Noncon

our 3pt % defense :lol:
We're just really unlucky, that has nothing to do with our actual defense
LBBIQ here, but I do have problems figuring out what exactly we do wrong sometimes. I think it was TCU where their guy who made 11 3s all season went off for something like 5 in the game. Then you get shots like Baylor's near the end of the game that was damn near half court.
To some extent you want to bait shooters into taking that kind of fools gold, but for us it seems to be actual gold more often than not.

The best at 2s and worst at 3s is weird for our Cats.
if you believe that 3FG% isn't a lottery, KSU over-helping on D would make a lot of sense explaining it.

Tonight's game holds an interesting fate for both teams. If the KSU cats win then we will have a 3 way tie for 2nd and then Baylor and KU have a tie for first. KU definitely has a few bumps in the road as they play West Virginia in AFH and Baylor in Waco in the same week after they finish this week at Texas Tech. We play @ West Virginia and then have ISU at home the following Wednesday. The Big 12 is THE toughest conference in college basketball as you simply can't predict outcomes as you can when it comes to other conference play.
Now I don't know how the conference tournament seeding tie breakers work but with the spread pictured above it will definitely get very interesting come conference seeding time and #SelectionSunday
These next games are far more crucial for Kstate moving forward because of the hole that we have been put in since we lost to TCU.
I think the Kansas State Cats with a win tonight, we will see a a few things change in the way they play as it will be very high energy for the weeks to come. I like to say that we will win a majority of our games going forward but we have Oscar steering the ship. He could take us to the promise land but at the same time he could run this ship aground and we will be rough ridin' screwed. We have a seen it before. My dream scenario is to win our next three games and sweep WVU but it is only a dream and I would be one happy #brucketball fan if it happens.
This game is the only Big 12 game this evening and if you have been living under a rock.
The game tips at 8pm Central time.
Only on ESPN.

Our defense seems to be designed to take away driving lanes and we don't apply heavy ball pressure on the perimeter. Teams that apply heavy ball pressure can be vulnerable if you can keep the ball moving, faster than the defense but high ball pressure teams also have a tendency to move the offense back off of the arc a little bit. Our defense does not do that so three point shooters against us are catching the ball pretty comfortably on the stripe. Advanced metrics don't tell you how many contested threes someone hits, we don't contest as many as we should.

1) I thought vs Baylor, we did our best job in a long while of not helping so much or cheating off of shooters who are lined up behind the arc. Baylor did hit 4 of their first 7 from 3pt, but Lecomte hit the 1st shot vs our opening possession zone D, and he got another in transistion where we just didn't pick him up. They finished making 3 of last 11.
It's not as simple as it sounds, but if you are going to cheat off a shooter to play help D against a dribble drive or vs the screener diving towards the hoop....you have to make the passing lane more difficult as you cheat closer to the middle of the lane.
Teams have had their way with making baseline 3pt shots vs Us. Or it sure seems that way.

We are the worst at 3 D/eFg because we constantly leave shooters wide open with help D. We allow the most uncontested open looks from behind the arc I ever seen from a team that plays relatively decent D over all.
no
we are supposedly the worst* at 3 point defense because we try too hard on defense
this team has been kicking ass at 3 point defense. it might not show it in the box score, but who gets caught up in the minutia of a box score?
*statistically

Has anyone looked into the possibility of other teams cheating and jacking 3's when we aren't ready?Yeah I suppose us not being out there to defend the ball would count as us not being ready lib^7

Defense has been a season long concern, but K-State's offense has slipped badly. 4 of the last 6 games have featured offensive efficiency of .91 or worse with a high of 1.06. Only 1 game with an eFG% of over 50%. The season and perhaps oscar's job hinges on getting that corrected.

K-State now last in the league in eFG% differential and 2nd to last in Oboarding. Have even fallen off of oscar's assistketball perch.

I'm not sure exactly what Iowa State is but kenpom hates the crap out of them so I'm inclined to as well.
And they will likely have a major drop off next year.

There is a little bit of speculation that Prohm may do a job reset; possibly returning to the southeast, LSU maybe.

I looked at these standings and have run the algorithms. Let me tell you guys: if KU loses out and we win out, Cats are B12 champs again.
Don't count it out, the numbers add up!
Not if Tech wins out...right? It could happen logistically.

It really sucks that Keenan Evans got injured. Tech would have easily won the league if he had been healthy the last two games.
I agree.
