When In Doubt Find Smaller Schools and KenPom The F Out of Them

[doubledime]

Broad strokes, there are two factors in predicting totals: pace and efficiency. For me, pace is the easiest to figure out. Over the years I have tweaked my pace analysis to the point where, barring OT, I am pretty accurate. So in calculating a range of predicted scores I use pace as a constant and efficiency as my variable. I use team points per possession performance to calculate a standard deviation for each team. From there I calculate efficiency to one standard deviation to the good and the bad.

im sure my math could be better, but at some point the juice isn’t worth the squeeze. My old thread from last year is still on the first page, and I included a link to my model for this season earlier in the week. GL!

Got to love that quote.

This year I am just playing (not posting) Team Totals using KP's time of possession and adjusted efficiency. However you are 100% correct that the teams with contrasting tempos are difficult to handicap, therefore I just stay away from those games. Good luck this year.

Thought I'd revisit this bad boy.

Youngstown State 10-1 Over with 7 straight Overs

Indiana State is another run-n-gun squad to watch. They're 8-4 Over, but one of the 4 was a 1H Over vs Drake. Then I hit them 1H Over vs Duquesne the other day. I think I'm 3-1 on their Overs

Their KP is 95 offense/139 defense/20 tempo

You give me a total under 70 1H and I'm leaning on it hard Over with the 20th tempo Sycamores involved, unless they're playing a turtle

I hope a few people noticed that yesterday the Youngstown State game had a total of 138. They had 54 at halftime! Easiest winner ever
