Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 1643557, member: 767"] If you go strictly by KP, Duke is ranked slightly higher than Kentucky. But then throw in the location of the game and I don't think it's close. UConn is about 10 spots behind Kentucky, but again, I think neutral site makes up the difference. Pomeroy wrote a little about this a few weeks ago "It turns out those adjustments are important. Beating the 90th-ranked team on the road is about as difficult as beating the 50th-best team on a neutral floor, which is roughly as difficult as beating the 20th-best team on one’s home floor." Kentucky is ranked around 20 in KP, so according to his research, that win is roughly the same as winning at Boise State or something. Do I think that is a perfect way of looking at things? Not necessarily, but I think we have 3 wins better than home Kentucky this year. [/QUOTE]
