following a big road win over incarnate wood, sfa climbs all the way up to 50 in the kenpom, two spots below kansas state. with just two games apiece and the conference tourneys to go, can sfa overtake kstate before they run out of season?

Amazing to see two stud coaches at the top of their games, with top 50 teams in the nation, coming down to the wire to see who's better

If you are doing comparisons, might as well throw #54 in there too.

please, ksu_bbb. let's focus on the race that matters to kstaters.

Hypothetical score if we played right now.

I suspect that as long as KSU finishes higher than that #54 team, the season will be considered a success for a large segment of our fanbase.

chingon, in theory we could open up the race to track every team between 40 and 60. but, imo, college basketball is all about rivalries. as we all know kstate and sfa have split the kenpom race in the last two years. and now with this year coming right down to the wire, true kstate and sfa fans are naturally focused on which of these extremely similar natural rivals is going to take the 2015-2016 kenpom troph.

Yeah, I was thinking op put both teams through some scientific generator thingy.

50-49.

oscar is right. If we were in a different conference, we'd be tourney bound!

Not really. The very thing that boosts our rank is being in a "difficult" conference. Put KSU in the ACC or SEC and I think our rank would drop (even if we had a couple of more wins).

i think we would win the southland conference and nab a hard earned ncaa tourney bid

We could. A neutral site game against SFA would be a toss up, though.

I wish I knew a quick and easy way to confirm but my gut tells me SFA has a better neutral site record.

a great mov against tcu pushes kstate up to 43rd. sfa gets their chance tomorrow northwestern state. kenpom already thinks they'll win by 15 so they'll need to lay the wood (that's a pun) to the northwestern state whatever they ares to keep pace.

K-State/Tech will be a fulcrum game for K-State & Tech. SFA best possibility of taking a kenpom championship will be their tourney game, should get good amount of juice.

Fun facts: northwestern state and sfa are huge rivals. They are located in two cities spelled differently but pronounced the same. In fact, northwestern state isn't in the state of northwestern, but the state of Louisiana

sfa has to play all these low ranked teams, which makes it harder to move up. but they have a greater probability of playing more games. i think it's a fair race.

Definitely not pronounced the same.

Just you classic 50 point win by Brad. If our AD had any sense he would back channeling a deal in principle. It is really insane what Brad is currently doing.
