Wasn't sure where to put this, so thought I'd start a new thread.
KenPom preseason has MVC rated as #12 conference, behind CUSA and ahead of the WAC. Valpo checks in at #216. The entire MVC is as follows:
Drake 79
SIU 90
Bradley 124
Belmont 125
NIU 126
Murray 129
MSU 134
ISUb 135
ISUr 215
Valpo 216
UIC 272
UE 337
WOW that Sucks :o :o :o Go Freakin' Beacons!!!!
So what is KenPom telling us? Is this based on strength of schedule or last year's results? What should we take away from this info?
Yeah.... this is a nothing burger. Who cares if we are ranked 334. We've mastered mediocre recently and except for the Kiser/JFL team.
New season, influx of new players, soft schedule Maybe we crack Ken pom top 85 if we have a good season?! Good season...20 plus wins top 4 of valley, get to at least semis in tourney.
In the good Ole' Days Valpo always cracked the top 100. Now Valpo drifts 100 pts lower. Time to make your move Valpo you've got to prove that you can play with the BIG BOYS and regain the respect that the Drews built. :thewave: Go Freakin' Beacons!!!!!
Wont happen, which is unfortunate. We're riding out Lottich and by the time we're at the end of the ride, we're not relevant anymore as the predictive measures are indicating.
