January 27, 20179 yr So Gonzaga is the best team in the country? Not in my mind. I like KenPom. I use it as a tool. As much as I love stats and numbers, they aren't the entirety of the picture. I don't think Kentucky is the #2 team either. If I had to guess, in my mind the top four are North Carolina, Villanova, Arizona, and Kansas.

I'm about to write Mr. Pomeroy a letter to see how he came up with #13
January 27, 20179 yr I know what their defensive efficiency is and I understand the numbers, but I'll say this...Kentucky is not a good defensive team. Hopefully they will improve before March. From what I've seen, I agree with you. They've got to get much better by March.
January 27, 20179 yr Good for you. They are a 1 trick pony on defense. They have to have a shot blocker to be effective. They make no adjustments in games that they can't just overwhelm the opponent with length and athleticism. You have valid points in your argument. But who was the shot blocker in 2011?
January 27, 20179 yr You have valid points in your argument. But who was the shot blocker in 2011? Well they had 3 guys over 1 per game and were #1 in the nation with 239 total blocks that year.
