The metrics sure are interesting.Originally posted by Lobot View Post
Indiana is #39 in KenPom this morning, but look for them to be top 20 in the AP Poll when it comes out.
Obviously less of a distinction between 1 and maybe 4-5, but interesting that Houston would be the metrics darling but humans do not seem to be picking them quite that high.Leave a comment:

I saw a post from the Field of 68 newsletter showing that Houston is consensus #1 in Kenpom, Torvik, Haslametrics and EvanMiya models. Pretty impressive to do that and lose your best player from last season.Leave a comment:
