- just curious how do they come up with these stats prior to even playing any games?

- man oh man, the big 12 sure is stacked, 5 teams in the top 10. by contrast not one pac 12 team cracks the top 20.

Swap Petrusev with Ballo, and Watson is healthy = defense goes up!

Here's KenPom's game plan and opponent tracker for Gonzaga. The KenPom ranking for each team on the list is just to the left of the teaam name. KenPom foresees one loss for Gonzaga - Baylor:

Swap Petrusev with Ballo, and Watson is healthy = defense goes up!

Absolutely true but still seems to be a well kept secret.

Way O/T Abe, but at the conclusion of the USF at GU game last year, they showed a clip of Coach Few sharing a meal with the ESPN crew at Jack and Dan's. They were eating at the very table we dined at 3 years ago. Big D noticed that right off the bat.

KenPom adds Kansas and Auburn to the game listing:

Gonzaga jumps to the top spot in KenPom. Baylor falls to three after Tristan Clark retired.

Pushed over a final ratings update based on news from the past week. (Thanks to @RealGM, @VerbalCommits, @GoodmanHoops, and @3MW_CBB for their awesome work in providing roster-related resources that have made this effort possible this year.)

Drew up one more, now at #4:

[23dpg]

About to be 3rd.

[zagamatic]

Culver, going at it with our boys tomorrow. Can't wait!

[ZagNative]

About to be 3rd.

Yup!

I wonder how wel do against Iowa. Garza is a load. Bet Few’s thinking this one over. Grant and back is my guess. We must run! One game at a time. WVU is always a killer on defense.

Our fellas lost some ground in the game with West Virginia, Suggs down to 9 from 2 and Timme down to 6 from 3:

[Malastein]

Not surprised given that Suggs was playing at a lot less than 100%. He was off to a great start, but was mostly a decoy in the second half.

KenPom has its own National Player of the Year (kPOY) formula. That number is designed to give a view — at times from a wholly different angle — of which college basketball players have been among the nation's best.

Timme at #4 and Suggs at #10. Way to go guys. I am surprised Kispert was left off of the top 10. He's had a pretty amazing year so far, imo. Looking forward to the Iowa matchup between Timme and the #1 player of year Garza.

Go Zags!
