2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc



  • @wissox Gotta spin that better! Bills first Championship came against the first final four to feature all four one seeds. KU won the most recent championship when the final four was all blue bloods. Bill looked so masterful in doing so two all time greats immediately retired after the final four!!! šŸ˜



  • @dylans thatā€™s awesome when you think about it - both championships came when the final fours were mostly filled with blue bloods. Amazing when you think about it.

    Iā€™ve always thought, as others have too, that Bill was going to pull a Roy and really figure out the tourney later in his career and start racking up more final fours and championships later in his career. The last seven years have solidified that opinion and I still think he wonā€™t retire until he wins one more title. He talked last tournament about us needing to win more championships, and I think in the next five years he does that, then rides off into the sunset.



  • @drgnslayr Great Comment! Iā€™ve heard chatter with unbeaten teams or teams in a hot streak that their fans say ā€˜we need to lose so weā€™ll get betterā€™. Horse Hockey as Sherman Potter would say! I donā€™t believe it. I donā€™t think you can say we donā€™t win it all if we didnā€™t get the wildcat lashing. I know it sounds kind of logical but not sure thereā€™s logic to it. Same players. What if it was close but we lost to them? Would that be a bonding type of loss too?

    @dylans Great comment! I know my comment looks like I donā€™t appreciate the championship very much. I do! It was a great thrill!

    @HawkChamp Your comment is great too! Not sure how old you are but Dean Smith couldnā€™t win the big one, neither could Coach K who was a nearly annual disappointment in the Final 4. But once the lid came off, those men succeeded a few times each.

    Of course Iowa is not going to benefit at all from losing to Eastern Illinois University the alma mater of Sean Payton whom I saw play against KU in 85 or 86, and Tony Romo. Other than them Mattoon is just famous for corn. Iowa is going to endure taunts and mockery for decades to come.



  • @wissox

    The team has admitted to a complete gut check after that Kentucky beatdown.

    That told them just how far off they were from competing at the highest level.

    Do I hope we lose games? Only if we need to. If we were playing at that Final Four level earlier we may not need to lose.

    This is where it benefits from being a Jayhawk and with a HOF coach. We are expected to be the best. Our guys donā€™t fold up when down. They know they have to rise to the situation.

    Heckā€¦ look at Mizzou. They took a quick leap forward after we beat them down. We exposed where they were at the time of our game and they werenā€™t up to snuff.

    Gonzagaā€¦ theyā€™ve had some great teams and Few is an excellent coach. But they used to have a real easy schedule, allowing them to lose no or almost no games until March. Now they play easily the toughest, or one of the toughest, pre-conference schedule. It should help them become a better ball club, especially in March.



  • Goshā€¦ where would this team be without McCullar? Heā€™s a possession monster! Versus Harvard: 11 reb, 3 steals, 2 blocksā€¦

    We didnā€™t, but they also made some hero ball shots. But we did also give up a lot of wide open looks from 3.

    I donā€™t think a lot of teams are beating Oklahoma St when they shoot 13/29 from 3. To our credit, we were 11/23 from 3. Two of those were from Harris.

    pretending Jalen scores another 300 points by the end of the season, where does that put him?



  • @Kcmatt7

    Just outside the Top 15. The all-time list hasnā€™t been updated in a while (since 20-21) so itā€™s not 100% accurate but heā€™s got a shot at Top 20 the way his season is going.



  • Given we have 18 more games minimum and I would suspect at least 20 in reality (ie we win the first round of Big12 tournament and against our likely 15/16 seed opp) I donā€™t think 300 more points is a stretch for him at all. Thatā€™s 15 a game if we do which is close to his floor this year due to his volume.

  • @Crimsonorblue22

    They didnā€™t even move KJ to the 5 until just before the season started. His improvements this year are remarkable and perhaps we are seeing it in real time during games because its the first time heā€™s settled at one position. Impressive stuff

  • Weird Kenpom thing this year (to me) is Shaka Smart coaching the best offensive team in basketball. Incredibly efficient scoring. Was always a ā€œdefense firstā€ coach, at least how people looked at him after VCU.

    Still canā€™t figure out why he struggled so much at UT. Apparently not just a one-trick pony, and not a bad coach. I think he suffered a bit from turnover. Mo Bamba, Jarrett Allen, Jaxson Hayes, etc. Not excusing his inability to win despite landing elite talent, but certainly weird to see him succeed elsewhere.

    I have pondered the same thing, and I think it may have something to do with landing Mo Bamba, Allen, Hayes, etc. All big men. I havenā€™t seen them yet, but Iā€™ll bet heā€™s back to running his 4 out like he did at VCU. I thought they looked big, slow and cumbersome at Texas.



  • @Jethro Maybe the pressure to showcase those guys for the NBA caused him to not make the team as good as it could be too. That is a tough thing to balance. Bill Self gets knocked for NOT doing a good job of this, and thatā€™s part of the reason he doesnā€™t get nearly as many top 5 guys anymore. It really takes special freshman to play for Bill Self early.

    I feel like anyone who is willing to get into bed with OADs understands that you have to do that to an extent though. Selling your soul a bit to get talent in the door.



  • @Kcmatt7

    Yeah its crazy. Does he have some offensive guru on staff with him at Marquette? They had a good offense last year and then lost their two best players & somehow, they are better this year.

    Perhaps heā€™s just evolved and figured he needed to change to survive. Also, he has one of the best point guards in the country Tyler Kolek that has improved leaps and bounds as a facilitator and playmaker. Things are clicking for them.



  • @BeddieKU23 I really hadnā€™t paid attention to them. I just see the Kenpom stuff and canā€™t help but see that Marquette team stick outā€¦

  • @Kcmatt7

    Iā€™m perfectly fine with how Self is attacking recruiting and roster management these days, avoiding the sure-fire 1-year HS guys and targeting those guys likely to stick around a few years. We know what works here and what doesnā€™t. I mean heā€™s had success with 1-year dudes too but itā€™s just not his bread and butter.

    Self might be a hard coach to play for but Iā€™ve yet to really hear of a player that didnā€™t benefit from his coaching. In fact, the opposite tends to happen.

    We used to worry so much about Duke or UKā€™s recruiting classes and now itā€™s like why bother, those teams arenā€™t winning anything with freshman. The transfer portal completely leveled the playing field and made experienced players more valuable. Guys from lower levels are not at a disadvantage anymore it seems when leveling up. Things have changed so fast

    Yeah same I need to catch some of their games. #1 offense with that roster is something. At least in recent games itā€™s not if they are scoring 90 every night but shooting 50% as a team is really good. If KU was shooting close to 50% as a team they have 1-2 losses tops. I wonder if they can sustain it.

    Iā€™d pause to say Self has completely avoided the OADā€™s. When the Rice recruitment started, we didnā€™t know if heā€™d ever make it to Lawrence and Gradey Dick was also a projected 1st round pick for quite awhile before he committed, but heā€™s also a local kid who wanted to play here so that may be an exception.
