1) That is the first time this season that we have beaten a team ranked ahead of us in KenPom. We have yet to lost to a team ranked below us in KenPom, so until tonight, KenPom was a 100% predictor of our success or failure, which I cannot recall happening to us for such a long stretch for as long as I've been following KenPom....

2) With Pardon's 1,000th point tonight, we are one of only 5 programs in the nation with three 1,000 point scorers. Now granted, Taylor scored most of those points with other teams, but clearly we have the ability to score in the 70s, which we did tonight for the FIRST FREAKIN' TIME in BIG play this season. Hopefully this will start a trend...

Fresno State is 59......NU is 57.

And when they played, albeit early in the season when Ken Pom is not very accurate, the difference was even larger.

Not disputing your overall point, just filling it in with one minor fact.

When I posted that, Fresno State was ahead of us. And it has been that way for most of the season...
