26 Ken Pom
Torvik 32 (has Pitt favored in all but 4 games going forward)
Net 12 (miss state up from 26 to 10).

So as bad as Pitt was, it really doesn’t change the rest of the ACC was just as bad. Vader posted about a lot of injuries. Well I guess Dunn is in that ACC injury list too though doubt he helps much last night with rebounding.

Ohio state also lost by 24 on road and only dropped 7. Both Miss Statw and Maryland rose. If you lose big, lose big to good statistical teams.

Me too. Duke blew us out on a neutral court in the ACCT and we dropped by 10. And that was after 32 games. Early in the season like this, I would have thought we dropped by like 20-30 based on that.

Road vs neutral may play a role. I was shocked too especially when coupled with bad bad losses for Ohio State and Gardner Webb last night.

LSU lost their starting C for the year. Hoping they don't fall off a cliff. We need that win to hold up.

He was one of their "Big 3" which every team needs. That's a terrible, terrible loss. No chance at the NCAAT now out of that league. Better hope they dont go 4-14 now

How long before players will be able to transfer in-season and play immediately? A center on the bench at Kentucky decides he could now start at LSU and leaves.

Hmm. It likely depends on what regular students can do. Can a non athlete switch mid term and still pass classes at a different university? Not sure how many places that flies. But if a student can enroll at one school in fall and another in winter, then an athlete should as well.

That's because the team's ratings are much closer together as you get closer to the middle and are more separated as you get close to the very top and the very bottom.

For example, look at the Pomeroy ratings (not the rankings, the ratings). The difference between number five Houston and number ten Marquette is 3.69. Which is also the difference between number 148 St Louis and number 200 Chattanooga.

So Houston lays an egg and drops 3.69 "ratings points" and they fall five spots. St Louis lays an egg and drops the exact same 3.69 "ratings points" and they fall 52 spots.

Because math is hard, I guess.
