There's lots of volatility in these rankings early in the season as one really good or really bad game gets factored in. In KenPom we moved from #257 to #228 with the win and our W-L forecast (15-16 before the season began) went from 13-18 before the Harvard game back to 15-16. Biggest changes in KenPom were #258 to #221 I defensive efficiency; #159 to #83 in turnover percentage; #331 to #287 in 2 PT shooting defense

The first "real" rank is not until teams have played 10 or more games. I mentioned the change one game can make to illustrate the point you make. I find it interesting that Harvard played so many of their talented freshman and HC did not. We went with experience. I see that AU, complimented in CROSSPORTS on playing their talented frosh, is currently 0-4. I am not sure why some think that letting the frosh develop through practice is any indication of the contribution they may make in the future, or even later in this season. There is talent there and they will play when they are ready (in the opinion of the coaches). Also, it did appear that BC out coached TA last night. Is that why there is no mention by the usual voices about any coaching shortcomings? |

I am not sure why some think that letting the frosh develop through practice is any indication of the contribution they may make in the future, or even later in this season. Ironically two of AU's top three players thus far are the two highly touted fresh, both of whom may compete for FOY. AU's weak spot is not the youth but rather a disappointing 5th year big man (transfer from UConn) along with a lack of depth. Three star junior transfer Matt Cimino has done nothing as of yet, although that could change as the year goes by. He only played a few games last year at GWU due to injury. it also should be noted that AU thus far has played a schedule approximately as difficult as that of HC. They look like they will challenge for a PL first division spot. |
