Ken Pom Again...

Check this out. He has us rated ahead of Georgetown, Iowa State, San Diego, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon State, Colorado and Georgia Tech--and every one of those teams has a winning record.

I posted this twitter link earlier today, but thought it'd fit in this thread as well. Haslametrics makes a good companion to KenPom. There's a good description of his approach on his site. Check out his written profile of the Griz as well.

Kent's Brother? :lol:

:clap: :clap: :clap:

But of course it's only due to our weak schedule, right, GS?

Interesting!

Griz are 11-5, but could easily have 2 more wins (Georgia State and Washington). Exciting to see how this team ends the season!

Aside from the various ranking systems, what I like is the way the Griz have shown pretty steady improvement, week-by-week.

Not sure what to make of this, but FWIW, the current Sagarin rankings look like this for the Big Sky:
PSU (11-5) . . . . 088 . . . 77.66
UM (11-5) . .. . . 121 . . . 75.12
Idaho (10-6) .. . 149 . . . 73.35
EWU (8-9) . .. . . 183 . . . 70.94
Weber (9-6) . . . 184 . . . 70.89
NoCol (11-6) . . 187 . . . 70.79
MSU (11-) . .. . . 221 . . . 68.29
ISU (8-6) . . . . . 259 . . . 65.57
Sac St (4-12) . . 290 . . . 63.89
UND (4-11) . . . 295 . . . 63.66
SUU (6-9) . . . . 316 . . . 62.01
NAU (3-14). . . 331 . . . 59.31

Don’t forget UCLA. That game was ours and the Bruins knew it.

Will be interesting to see if they can get that game rescheduled

Through games last night, he has us ranked 91st in the country, ahead of Georgetown at 96 and--get this!--Indiana at 100. When's the last time THAT has happened??
