What does Coach K have to do with WP? Also, Duke playing in Rose Hill would be cool.

Texas over UCONN and Nova is wild. I don’t think anyone can legitimately claim we have been a better program than them the past 30 years.

shows how crazy up-and-down uconn has been these last ~30 years, and how crazy successful they’ve been in the tourney.

I have always been impressed with KenPom’s analysis and like how you post shit from him during the season but this list is straight up trash. 6 championships from UCONN and 2 for Nova trumps 1 Final Four by any measure.

it’s not a rating of which programs have been the best overall, it’s just the aggregate kenpom ratings from 1997-2025. a program that made the tourney 22-23 times being rated slightly higher then one that missed it a bunch of times and also won it like three different times on down years isn’t super surprising. uconn is the program that every other program envies accomplishments-wise, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t fielded more than their share of shitty teams since 1997, which obviously impacts their aggregate rating.

and just to simplify it for those who might not know, your kenpom ratings is the difference in your adjusted offense (AdjO, or ORtg now) minus your AdJ (DRtg). each rating is based on points per 100 possessions, weighted for sos. so if you play in a tough conference and you win 20-25 games per year you’re probably going to have a pretty high aggregate rating over a period of time, even if your program struggles in the tourney.

According to CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander, the number of college basketball games played in a season is set to increase. Norlander reports beginning with the 2026-2027 season, teams can play 32 games. They will not be required to but the move allows programs to schedule more nonconference games any given year.

That's gonna be a slight feel of THU/FRI of March Madness opening weekend with that slate.

Looks fun.

Yep, it's basically the first 2 days of MM, but with second weekend type of matchups.

Gilbert Arenas' kid having a rough go of it early at USC

Quote

USC freshman basketball player Alijah Arenas will sit out six to eight months after suffering a knee injury that will require surgery, the school announced Wednesday.

Arenas, the son of former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas, was a five-star recruit who graduated high school a year early to suit up for the Trojans.

"Alijah is a tremendous worker, teammate, competitor, and person," USC coach Eric Musselman said. "He is understandably disappointed that he will not be able to take the court to start the season, but his health is our No. 1 priority. We have no doubt that he will come back even stronger. We look forward to supporting him during this process."

Arenas had just made his practice debut earlier this month following an April car crash that left him hospitalized for nearly a week.

The crash occurred when Arenas lost control of his Tesla Cybertruck and crashed into a tree. He said in June that the car's keypad and steering wheel wouldn't respond. The car caught on fire, but Arenas was able to break the driver's side window and get out with help from bystanders.
