There's just no margin for error in the kp30nt game.

we gave it a run, though.  no one can say we didn't.

we were the last team in, mir!  if just one more team had stolen a bid somewhere, we would have done it.

Thank you.  It is tiresome reading "these fan's" persistent postings of bad intentions directed at the team and school.  It's difficult for me to grant any credibility to any postings they make, based on the last couple of months of this.

Could be an interesting ethical debate on all this in a few days.

We aren't in.  That's what they call it a play-in

If we win the national championship as a result of winning all of our remaining games, that means we're in.

like all things rare and beautiful, people never understood kp30nt.

KSU could be top 30 no NCAA. But more interesting if they play super well in the NIT they could end up being oscar's bet Kenpom KSU team. Same could be said for the NCAA.

i didn't realize that tcu actually made it to kp30nt last year.  it doesn't count, of course.  using nit wins to boost your final kp score is against the rules.  still, a nice achievement for them.

tcu has a chance to do it for real this year.

Can we do a bizarro world kp30nt? Maybe like a top 4 seed / no kp top 30 (t4snkp30)?

I seriously doubt that anyone outside of the top 20, or so, of the NET will be getting a top 4 seed. Anyone in the top 20 of the net will be firmly entrenched in the kenpom top 30.

Also I'd be willing to bet that there have been A LOT of teams outside of the top 30 of kempom have been top 4 seeds. Kempom and the RPI disagreed, quite a bit.

Man, the next 3 games in the big 12 are going to define how the conference shapes out. We play Baylor this Saturday then Iowa State next week then Iowa State and Baylor play the game after that. While the top 3 best each other up, KU plays TCU, OSU, and WVU... they will probably win all 3 of those.

Doubt it. It certainly won't be easy for them, if they do win all three.

Serious question: I don’t “get” stuff like Ken Pom, RPI, etc. Iowa State is a complete dumpster fire but even after last night’s loss is sitting at 18 per KP. We’re at 25. Texas, which barely has a winning record and is in the bottom half of the conference, sits at 26. What does that mean? Is KP measuring something different that is maybe meaningful in a different way?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

you're focusing too much on W-L records. it's more a predictive ranking based on offensive & defensive efficiencies. basically ISU should have a better record than they do (they rank 304 out of 353 in "luck"), and we should have a worse record than we do (#28 luckiest team).

you can look through ISU's schedule and see a ton of blowout victories and close losses

you can look through our schedule and see hardly any blowout victories, and double digit losses to marquette, texas, a&m, iowa st, and kansas

we're not good at anything offensively except not turning the ball over and not getting our crap swatted
