Kenpom Rankings so far
-
I know its early but wanted to see where KU was after a few games.
#4 overall- #10 offense, #2 defense. Would suggest so far our defense is doing pretty good compared to the country.
Other teams of note: Big-12 and future opponents
Texas A&M- 8th, Syracuse, 62nd, Stanford- 70th, Arizona St- 75th, Nebraska- 102nd, Washington 135th.
West Virginia- 13th, Texas Tech- 17th, TCU- 2oth, OU- 21st, Baylor- 23rd, Texas- 32nd, Oklahoma St- 41st, Iowa St- 61st,

I just posted the usual breakdown for the conference in another thread and it is pretty close to what you have from KenPom. Looks like the conference is pretty solid so far.

So far yes. Only a few teams haven’t played popcorn tech but this early it looks like Kenpom is liking the Big-12 again.
West Virginia was blown out by A&M. Iowa St- Missouri.
KU beat Kentucky. Tech beat Northwestern, that’s it for good wins for the league.
Baylor has a big 3 game stretch. OU has some good games coming. The rest of the league has maybe 1-2 good games left. Oklahoma St should lose big tonight even with Jeffrey Carroll conveniently returning
-
The game against A&m is starting to look pretty tough. They may be the class of the SEC this year. Should help our non con strength.

Helps the game is at home.
So far A&M looks good. We’ll see how they handle another Big-12 foe tonight in Oklahoma St.

Iowa State is starting to play better now and I expect them to give KU at tough game at Hilton as usual.
-
A&M is reaaaal good. That might be an L.
-
The game against A&M is in Lawrence. I like KU’s chances in that one.
Interesting that KU has played or will play Mizzou, Nebraska, and A&M this season. The Mizzou game was an exhibition, but still, it’s kind of like a throwback Big 12 season.

#4 in Ken Pom #3 in the AP #2 in the Coaches #1 in the heart of Melvin Weatherwax

KU is no slouch either and hardly ever loses at AFH. It will be a win.

Baylor beat Wisconsin, sorry @wissox. Wisky got themselves in a big hole (down 16) early in the 2nd half and couldn’t overcome the deficit in the end.
Oklahoma St got beat pretty badly by A&M. Final Margin was 17. They were up 17 in the first and played an even 2nd half for the victory. A&M held them to 29% shooting. Ouch…

Thanks for the condolences! Actually were down by 19, I was about to turn it off.

Baylor’s length was a problem for them. Their length tends to be an issue for most until conference play roles around.
Ugh I stopped watching once it hit 16 with 13 to go, figured that was enough

I’m not drinking the conference Kool-Aid again until we get teams more consistently to the Elite Eight and Final Four. Until then, we’re just another conference on the wrong side of the Mississippi.

@BeddieKU23 josh played so good against their length last year. He was perfect!
