58 in KenPom is...wild.

Is some of that dependent on the fact that we have so many rotation players who didn't play last year (Jones, Nwankwo, Kai Rogers, Atak, etc.).

That and 7 games against teams #307 or worse.....will initially drag you down a bit. But if we drill those teams by 30+ (like we should), then it won't have too adverse of an effect on our rating as the season goes along.

Perhaps, but Nwankwo playing the most minutes while we are relying heavily on transfers.

Scheduling never helps, but you are right...need to blowout those bottom feeders.


Just adding that this may be our best portal incoming class in a bit.

Also, here are the pre-KP ranks and finishes for OU under Moser:

Year	Pre-season	Finish
2025-26	58	N/A
2024-25	40	40
2023-24	48	46
2022-23	28	54
2021-22	52	30

This is our "lowest rank" and I don't think it is our lowest team AT ALL.

From the SEC media days. Nate Oats: ‘playing 13 cupcakes in the preseason just doesn’t prepare us for SEC play’. Last year and this year their OOC schedule ranked first in the country. Just sayin’

The home schedule SUCKS but they aren’t playing 13 cupcakes either.

Good thing we don’t play 13 but nice try.

Just sayin? we read what you said you don’t have to tell us you’re sayin it -trash

I know it's early. Joe Lunardi has us out of the NCAA tournament with 11 SEC teams in...we were like a 6 or 7 seed last preseason check. Not sure what changed..

 

[pncparn]
