What is the margin for error in winless vs technically winless?  Like 2-16 is basically the same as 0-18 right? Winless 0-2 wins, bottom dweller 3-5 wins, mediocre 6-9 wins, solid 10-13, elite 14-17.

it's all the same to me, but 2 wins is numerically different than 0.

without benefit of kenpom, i'll say the under, just assuming that there will be some games cancelled so a higher winning % than kenpom expects will be needed to get to six.

As of today, we have a grand total of three games left on the schedule with >50% chance of winning according to kenpom. In fact there are only three games left on the schedule that kenpom gives us >33% chance of winning. Including those three, there are seven games on the schedule with a >20% chance of winning.

I can't even...

i dunno how much of kenpom's formula today includes pre-season expectation vs this season's performance, but obviously the portion that is based on this season's performance is probably underestimating the performance for the rest of the season.

like, there is no possible way they aren't going to get better on defense.  it's just impossible.

We are staring straight down the barrel of a winning percentage often referred to as “the interstate” in baseball parlance

He's gone full Tom Keegan!

I've never heard this term but I'm gonna try to use it in a conversation soon:

I mean….it’s what an editor at The Mercury used to call “prismatically” bad: It’s bad any way you look at it.

Also, he used the term clipped. When I was a kid, the Salina Journal would always have clipped in their sports headlines. Maybe it is making a comeback.

How about some stats?

kenpom era national rankings.







Offense and defense in the 3PT era.




And this is with playing 1 team ranked in the kenpom top 60 so far. We have 14 more games against kenpom top 60 teams and 10 against top 10 teams.
