KenPom rankings are far kinder to these teams that the pollsters:
Mizzou #8
Illini #16
Of course, rankings that list UNC at #4 clearly cannot be taken at face value. And, yes, I understand that there is a mathematical formula behind the rankings. I put a lot of value in his rankings at the end of the year. Much less so in December.
And what if the winning score is right on 70? Well, Pomeroy has a Mizzou 70-67 win projected (61% certainty).
Wow - only game that Mizzou is projected to lose the rest of the way is @ KU.
