Need some Clempsoning.
The explanation that I heard that makes the most sense is that they're very smart about their OOC scheduling in a way that maximizes their HCA due to Altitude.
Mountain West teams are more likely to schedule home games against the teams in the 70-150 range of Kenpom/NET rankings. When those buy games are home games you take what would be a 5-6 point edge into a 7-8 point edge due to altitude. The season long effect is that the competitive teams end up with strong resume and Analytics rankings.
Makes sense, but they did have 3 teams beat Creighton this year too.
Clemson isn't just a football school, huh
at the half
33.8 possessions
UNM: 0.83 ppp
CU: 1.24 ppp
If Uconn doesn’t take a single shot rest of the way and takes shot clock violations every drive can Stetson even get to a 10 point game by the final horn?
the #1 #1 doing #1 #1 things
at the half
32.5 possessions
SU: 0.59 ppp
UCONN: 1.60 ppp
UConn might be better this year than they were last year.
