Kenpom 25’

[Cavanagh]

IU is 39th, 49th on O and 34th on D. 10th in the B1G with a 10-10 record.

Post in on the bulletin board boys. If you finish 39th in anything, none of you are coming back next year.

So they should fire Woodson 2 weeks before the season starts?

IU is not going to finish 10th in the BT.

I suspect 49 and 34, respectively, would give us a better record than 10-10 in the B10.

If I were doing the predicting...here are the ranges.

Off Efficiency...Low 35, High 15
Def Efficiency...Low 40, High 20
Conf wins....Low 11, High 16
NCAA wins...Low first round loss, High Final Four loss

So... OffEff of 25, DefEff of 30, Conf wins 14, Sweet 16

Mine is much more scientific than KenPom too.

I never liked the son of a college coach playing on his dad’s team-always thought some bad chemistry came with it. I absolutely hate the idea of Lebron and Bronny on the same team.

Are you posting with yourself again?

His preseason stuff was always a crapshoot before. Now with the portal and new teams it facilitates each season, I'm not sure what good it is for anyone except him to put it out.

Can't imagine 10-10 with how this squad looks on paper.

Here is a stat I just got from assembly call email that will make you puke. Kenpom pre and post season rankings:
24’ 50, 91
23’ 12, 30
22’ 30, 48
21’ 26, 50
20’ 34, 34
19’ 27, 52
18’ 65, 71
17’ 16, 44
16’ 13, 11
15’ 26, 48
14’ 25, 63

We have only outperformed our preseason ranking once in that time frame. With an average drop of about 20 spots. So even my optimistic ass has to say damn maybe we are ranked fairly.

Well, crap. That's a depressing walk down memory lane.

Given that we are still indifferent on our 3rd coach in that timeframe, did you expect something different? Underperformance has been our MO, but hope springs eternal. We know where we have been, but we also know Woody has his best team to get us where we ought to be. Here’s hoping we shake this trend!

10 -10 in conference I'd say zero chance that happens.
If it did..CMW is gone in April.

17ish sounds about right. I'm glad expectations are that high.

PU at 14 sounds about right, too.

Gonna be a make or break season for Woodson, no doubt.

Gonna be a make or break season for Woodson, no doubt.

And it needs to be. He has had plenty of opportunities on the court and plenty of time to build strong recruiting relationships off the court. If this team is average at best......its time. My hope is we come out and watch some exciting basketball and Woody continues to use the portal to make magic happen each season. But if not......

I doubt it. He'll win just enough to get another year nothing more.
