Some KenPom notes for the first two games (353 teams in D1)
Team Stats
The good
Offensive rebounding (17th)
2PT FG% (49th)

The bad
Our strength of schedule is 285th and we have these crappy numbers

The ugly
Teams are scoring quickly on us and we are not possessing the ball long at all (very abnormal for A&M teams) 4th fastest in the nation!
One of the worst teams in the nation in effective FG and Turnover %
We are 333rd out of 353 in our 3 pt percentage

Individual
ORTG
Nebo 132
John Walker 130
Jasey 116
Meko 115
Collins 113
Flagg 112
Chandler 99
Mahan 81
Starks 62 (and he is in the top 200 in possessions and shots) NEVER good to have your worst efficiency player take the most shots*captain obvious*)

TJ Starks was our worst offensive efficiency player last year 86.6...

Some other notable players in that realm
Eric Vila 83 (2017)
Chris Collins 79 (2017)
Tavario Miller 88 (2016)
Fitzgerald 87 (2015)
Dylan JOhns 79 (2014)
Shawna Smith (2014)

Wouldn't read too much into pace of play or SOS this early in the season. Savanah St being horrible and playing ridiculously fast is going to skew our overall numbers the first month of the season

As much as I love me some kenpom and hated RPI (RIP)...KP 2 games into the season is pretty much useless. Eye test and standard metrics will do for now.



Just in case your eye test needs recalibrating:

You trying to go to Cameron for a game this year? I try to go to as many as I can.
Let me know if you do.

Kenpom is an excellent metric regardless of how many games you've played for how you've played thus far.

It's not a good prediction model (nothing is), but it'll tell the story of what happened during one game or the whole season.

Through 3 games, Zion Williamson is shooting 82% from the field on 13 shots per game.

Don't get back often enough. Did see K passing Dean and 1000th win in person.

We may take a family trip back during the holidays - it's up in the air for now.
