LOL KenPom

[Degaz-RU]

Purdue - 25

Rutgers - 27

I know KenPom is all about statistics and offensive and defensive efficiency, but isn’t it kind of ridiculous that a team that is 16-15 and lost twice to a team that is 20-11 is ahead of that team in these rankings?

Before everyone says, “we just punched our ticket, why are you complaining about this?” I get it and am not really complaining.

I just find it interesting that a data metrics website seems to ignore — or at least severely underrates — the most important data point: WINS AND LOSSES (including head to head)

We beat Purdue twice so we jump them . Period

Wins and losses aren't predictive at all. Kenpom isn't designed to be fair, it just measures efficiency.

All I care about 7th best defensive efficiency which always translated well in March Madness.
