KenPom and his nerd contingent

[No coincidences]

Look at the Georgetown-Monmouth line tonight. What a joke. Monmouth has beaten UCLA, USC and Notre Dame, and barely lost to USC and Dayton. Yet they were +10.5? Only in this day and age -- where pencil pushers and number crunchers set lines based on "advanced statistics" -- could they be a double-digit dog, given what they've done so far this season.

Kenpom had GT 45th and Monmouth 54th.

But yea I'm not a fan either.

That would require me subscribing to his site, right?

He had Georgetown by 8; 77 - 69.

No Coin, you are way off base here pal. You try putting out a spread for every game every day before the actual line is even known. His numbers get the job done. Easy to call out a play or 2 you like and call it bs

You know what.. I will be honest. I used KenPom last year (per LT's suggestion). It worked really well for me. But this year it just hasn't been as helpful. Just speaking from my own experience here. In fact, my subscription just ran out like Friday and I haven't even renewed it yet. It's only $20 but I'm gonna see how I do without it first.

New shot clock changing everything

Couple KenPom & Vegas disagreements tonight:

Oral Roberts (137) getting 2 @ 216 Missouri State

Winthrop 202 (only) getting 9 @ 82 Alabama.

Exactly my thoughts. I think I'll probably definitely jump on next season after he has an entire season's worth of new data to analyze.

Ignore the score projections, just read between the lines and use the info...

What does KenPom say about Oral Roberts? That's the one game I'm on today

There was a guy here who had a thread where he only played totals when KenPom had them going like 8 or more points in the opposite direction. IE if Vegas had a total set at 150 and KenPom predicted 70-68, he'd go under, etc. He actually did really well just doing that.
