Bump when you've been KenPom'ed

[No coincidences]

What was KenPom's Cincy-Louisville score projection? Anyone?

My issue isn't with KenPom. He's an advanced stats guy with a lot of flaws in his system (i.e., favoring Wisconsin year in and year out). It is what it is. He doesn't claim to be a linesmaker.

My issue is with Vegas copying their lines from his score projections basically verbatim (like the Texas Tech example I posted). It's lazy and has resulted in the public opening the floodgates on college basketball. You used to be able to rely on oddsmakers' intelligence with a line like Texas Tech -1 vs. Oklahoma. It was typically that # for a reason. Now it's there just because KenPom said so.

I agree 100 % . It use to be a lot easier to read into a line.

Perfect example was this Louisville-Cincinnati line tonight. Back in the day, if you saw a team like Louisville favored by 9 over a team like Cincinnati, it was for a reason. Today it just means public orgy.

But wasn't that # set back at the start of the season? Do his numbers change at all?
