Message: [QUOTE="memcorsu, post: 942530, member: 452"] [IMG]http://www.blackburnreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/ken-pomeroy.jpg[/IMG] Riddle me this... This is a guy that "knows" college basketball? Really? He really look like he laced them up and understands the game. I have read some of his writing and he comes off as such a pompous jerk. His number are so subjectively skewed it is unbelievable. The pac 10 is a joke. Watching the ASU game last night teams in the ACC, Big 10, Big East, AAC look so much better. I could create a laundry list of teams in the East that would run through the Pac. Arizona and Wichita have had a much cushier road to travel then most teams in the East. I can't wait for his shtick to get old... Although for some reason we always get another numbers Bieber (Serigan anyone?) :(:bang: [INDENT][I][SIZE=2]Speaking of the Orange — those who believe Syracuse has had a much stronger season than Wichita State should think twice, Ken Pomeroy said. The respected stats guru pointed out in his blog that before the Pitt game, all five of Syracuse’s road victories — St. John’s, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Miami (Fla.) and Wake Forest — were less than intimidating based on the weaker home-court advantages in those buildings. Along the same lines, folks should take into account the incredible home atmosphere at the Carrier Dome, which has been well-documented. So like the Shockers, Syracuse has benefited from a lighter schedule as well, Pomeroy argued, although things should get considerably more dicey down the stretch. Pomeroy gives the Orange only a 6.1 percent chance at finishing the regular season undefeated, compared to 70.2 percent for Wichita State.[/SIZE][/I][/INDENT] [url]http://www.startribune.com/sports/245635121.html[/url] I was looking for Wichita's schedule but realized I was looking in the D3 conferences...ooopppsss... [url]http://www.d3hoops.com/conferences[/url] Numbers can tell a lot but they don't tell the whole story. Just chaps me that this guy comes off that he is the end all be all of basketball.

I have never met the man and perhaps he saves kittens from fiery infernos and Ewoks from "Death Stars". The two things that get me faster than anything and I really have to fight against it is rudeness and arrogance and he just seems to have them both. [/QUOTE]
