16-17 Games of Interest

You make a good point and that perhaps makes me a little bit more sympathetic to them.

Still, regardless of philosophy, I think if you're losing that many times, you should't be rewarded for it.

Good points

What would an OU win do for our RPI?

OU lost to KU last night. Maryland Eastern Shore lost to Howard the night before.

Changing the OU loss to a win would have the same effect on WSU's RPI as changing the MES loss to a win. No more, no less.

This KU team is kinda mediocre by KU standards.

So this will be the year they win another title.

Though not ranked as high as last year, KenPom ranks this year's KU team better than their 2013, 2014, and 2015 squads.

Some people would tell you aboslutely nothing. We know better.

I am a proponent of opening a new thread with the RPI formula posted, and making it a sticky. It would save a lot of questions.

Not to mention the "win another title" portion of that post. That 2008 KU team finished the season with the highest KenPom rating of any team other than the UK undefeated team, as far as I can tell.

This got me curious, jdshock. This year's Shocker team has its highest Kenpom rating ever, Oem currently at 25.53.
Next closest was the '14 35-1 team at 25.36.
The least efficient in the past six seasons, oddly enough , is the '13 Final Four squad

The '13 squad had a ton of injuries and was not the same team during the season as during the tourney.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Yeah, the '13 team had moments (that's saying it nicely) where they couldn't throw it in the ocean if they were standing in a boat. Defense and rebounding were that team's calling cards.

SLU up big at home with 10 to go. Hope I didn't jinx it.

X looks bad again (at home). 6 L's in a row?

[Shockadelica]

SLU holds on for 15 point win vs Shox former sweet 16 foe La Salle

Is this the same Vol squad that beat the brakes off of the mild-cats? The same mild-cats that got homered vs. the Chickens?
