Impressive Stat

[PURPLE Book Cat]

There are 80 power conference D-I men’s college basketball teams.

Since the start of last year (2022), only 13 have a winning record against ranked opponents.

Of those 13, two are in the Big Ten:

• Purdue, 8-1 (.889)
• Northwestern, 5-4 (.556)

Didn’t Purdue lose to us twice since 1/1/22? How can they be 8-1?

…we weren’t ranked? At least not this season. I don’t think we were when we beat them last season either.

I really thought we were. Guess not!

How many teams have a winning record against opponents not only ranked, but ranked higher than them if both are ranked?

 

[SmellyCat]

I wonder how many other teams in college basketball have beaten a #1 ranked team in both of the last two seasons? Any?

We are not ranked

We made the top 25 after beating Purdue in early December. Then Chicago State happened.
