This week the Cats play two teams ranked in the Top 50 of the RPI
35 Seton Hall
36 @ Butler
Both teams are also Top 50 in kenpom:
40 Seton Hall
36 @ Butler
Cats are currently #2 in the RPI with:
Top 50 wins: @ SJU(PA) (50), Xavier (1)
Top 50 losses: vs Oklahoma (4), @ UVA (8)
Cats are currently #1 in Kenpom with:
Top 10 wins: Xavier (8)
Top 10 losses: vs Oklahoma (3), @ UVA (4)
In terms of kenpom 4 factors:
Cats continue to grade out well in everything other than:
Off Reb % (Off) 30.5% (170th nationally) - this is partly due to shooting the ball so well
Off Reb % (Def) 32.5% (257th nationally) - haven't kept other teams off the O glass
FTA/FGA - 29.2 (316 nationally) - Cats haven't gotten to the line a lot - in part due to blowing people out to the point where we haven't had a game where we had to win it down the stretch making FTs.
The only other disconcerting stat is 3P% - where 'Nova is at 32.4% (233rd nationally)
Hart is 4th and Ochefu is 9th in kenpom POY standings - he only shows the Top 10 players - the rating scale includes mostly offense, some defense, and is weighted to team success such that the more successful, power 5 teams are likely to have players grading high in the system.
