Woohoo!

CNNSI.com's Luke Winn gives our Hoyas some love in his post-draft deadline rankings, putting Georgetown at #15.

The Hoyas barely finished above .500 last season, but they showed flashes of brilliance, beating two Final Four teams (UConn and Villanova) on the road. I like Georgetown's peripheral numbers, too: They were the sixth-unluckiest team in all of D-I (according to kenpom's formula), and the most efficient team not to make the NCAA tournament. They ranked 317th in experience, which backs up the theory that they were overwhelmed by a league overflowing with veteran talent. A team with Greg Monroe, Austin Freeman and Chris Wright as its top three offensive options can't miss the NCAAs two years in a row ... right?

Young, inexperienced, and unlucky!

I'm not sure how much weight I give to kenpom's efficiency formulas, however.  The thai place I ordered take-out from last night is real efficient, but man, I am in bad shape stomach-wise today. 

Casually.

15 seems a bit generous

But it’s awesome to see CNNSI referencing KenPom.

KenPom is an idiot.

I have a calculator too, so according to my +/-defensive (turnover) efficiency metric when Georgetown plays against teams with three vowels on neutral courts on Thursdays and loses by less than ten but more than five, we should be ranked 14th. Not 15th.

And I hope Casual’s stomach ailment kills him.

Wait, is this sarcasm?

I can’t tell.

I’m guessing, if you’re a baseball fan, that think batting average, RBI’s and pitcher W-L records are good stats as well.
