Sorry Kansas and Kentucky…
- Thread starter AuHoosier420
- Start date
Those ratings are taken from the end of the season. Not before the tournament. What was Dukes defense going into 2015?
Figured everybody knew this by now, considering it’s brought up practically every day.
In short….OP fail.
Kentucky 4/27
Kansas 6/28
They may as well just mail it in and go home now. 😆
Also, it's highly unlikely those numbers would be the same after a 6-game winning streak. Duh.

Iowa’s defensive efficiency improved by like 20 pts after the win over Purdue. 🤣
No team losing their opening conference tournament game has gone on to win the National Championship
Auburn last 9 games I believe they are 5-4. Seems like a more pertinent number.
KU was awful defensively the first half of the season, but has improved a lot over the last month or so. If we go on a run, I imagine we'll finish top 20 defensively. I imagine the same is true for Kentucky. If they go on a run, they'll finish top 20 defensively as well.
....funny how OP failed to see this before the daily exposure of his stupidity.
My guess is that people have looked at the same data leading into the tournament and realized that it was so varied it could include 2/3 of the field in a given year…which is why no one uses the pre-tourney data.

I get the feeling, given all these stats and metrics that have been shared over the last few days, that some established trends are about to get bucked with this year's tournament.
............either that or we might as well hand Kentucky the trophy now, seeing as how they cross off the most check marks, and I'm not prepared to watch another Kentucky national title run. I don't know about the rest of you, though.
One problem: their defensive efficiency is still 50 spots lower. 🤣
These numbers expand yearly. For a while it was “every champion since (enter year) has finished in the top 10 of both AdjO and AdjD.” Then it became top 20. Now it’s 20/40. We’re a fluke run away from every prospective champion needing at least a top 150 AdjO and AdjD.
