Message: [QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 2060338, member: 470"] Last year's Rutgers team was probably as bad as you'll ever see. They did pick up a late season W against a nearly inept Minnesota squad, but went 1-18 in their B1o games. They lost the 18 by an average of 22.3 pts, losing only 2 by singled digits. They finished 279 in Kenpom's rankings, though didn't embarrass themselves outside of conference play. Here are the previous Kenpom rankings for the worst power conference team in the Kenpom era: Year Team (rating) 2015 Rutgers (198) 2014 TCU (212) 2013 TCU (266) 2012 Utah (303) 2011 Wake Forest (259) 2010 LSU (191) 2009 DePaul (206) 2008 Oregon State (246) 2007 Colorado (217) 2006 USF (172) 2005 Baylor (236) 2004 Penn State (226) 2003 Penn State (209) 2002 Washington State (216) I pulled that list from [URL='http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2016/2/25/11105064/rutgers-worst-major-conference-basketball-team-ever-big-ten']an article about last year's Rutgers' dumpster fire[/URL]. I updated the Kenpom rankings, since they were all wrong on their list. Last year's BC team was obviously atrocious, going winless in ACC play, but Rutgers was so much worse. The 2012 Utah team actually went 3-15 in the Pac, but only won 3 OOC games, with losses to Boise (by 21), Montana St, Harvard, Umass, UNC Asheville (by 22), Fresno (by 30), CSU Fullerton (by 31) and Weber St (by 29). They lost 6 conferences games by 10 or less. The 2011 Wake team went 1-15 in ACC play with only 1 loss by less than 14 pts. They lost to Stetson, Winthrop, UNC Wilmington and Presbyterian. The 2013 TCU team won 2 B12 games, but actually somehow beat a top 5 Kansas and 20 win Oklahoma team, and went 9-4 OOC with no embarrassing losses. They're a cut above those previous 3 teams mentioned. The 2014 TCU team went winless in B12 play, but beat two P5 teams in OOC play (Wazzu, Miss St). The majority of B12 losses were by double digits. The 2009, 2010 and 2011 Depaul teams each won 1 in BE play. They were so, so, so bad. 2008 Oregon State went winless in Pac play, all but 1 by double digits. They also lost to D2 Alaska Fairbanks, Tennessee Tech and Montana State. The post-scandal Baylor teams were brutal too, but would usually win a few conference games. So it's a toss up between 2016 Rutgers, 2012 Utah, 2011 Wake or 2008 Oregon State, as well as DePaul's extended misery. I'll go with Rutgers or Utah. This year's Missouri team could be right there and Oregon State might be the worst of them all without Tinkle. [/QUOTE]
