Why

Random nonsense, but these are the 23 active coaches who have not had a game against a non-D1 team, ordered by total games coached.

First cut of preseason conference ratings. Looking forward to seeing how people categorize the Pac-12. Not on the level of other power leagues but conceivably far ahead of all non-power leagues.

Program rankings have been updated. Notable changes: Texas State 215 -> 149 (simply for joining the Pac 12) Memphis 34 -> 42 Miami FL 47 -> 39 Miami OH 180 -> 160 Michigan 🏆 20 -> 13 John Groce is the only coach to willingly take a downgrade kenpom.com/programs.php

With no amateur making the cut, if Rory wins I believe it will just be him in Butler cabin a la Tiger with Hootie Johnson in 2002. Let him bring a guest!

Well, it's over. 6300 games in the books. Teams that finished with the preseason rank they started at: Kansas (21), Arkansas State (147), Appalachian State (195), Niagara (337), Canisius (342), Coppin State (363), and Mississippi Valley State (365). Congrats to all of them.

The Year of the Blowout concludes tonight with game number 6,300. Percentage of games between top 50 teams that were decided by at least 20 points:

Congrats to SLU for almost setting a program record for 2P%, in the NCAA tournament no less. You love to see it.
SLU's best 2P% games since the 1997 seasonAverage 2PA distance for the game was in the 99th percentile for all games this season

Tennessee lost the battle against Alabama 71-69, but won the war...for offensive rebounds by gathering 25 of 47 possible chances. This boosted the Vols' season-long OR% to 45.4%. Just 15 teams have finished with an OR% above 44 since 1997 and 14 of those cases occurred in 2001 or earlier.

Last night, teams averaged 76.4 ppg (thanks Alabama/Arkansas for your service). That beat the previous record for a February or March day over the past 30 years (min 50 games) by a point and a half. It was the 5th highest scoring day regardless of month. (This season now owns the top 6).

It's official. We'll be adding a 20th entry to this list on Saturday.

linear model does not like margin...perhaps a slight bias for road team using them later, though.

Air Force is on the verge of history...currently owning the worst net rating in conference play in the internet age. With 7 games left, the Falcons are 0-13 with losses by 8, 12, 15, 15, 17, 23, 24, 28, 29, 34, 37, and 42.
Leaders is worst net rating (conference play only) since the 97 season.

Houston's offensive profile is incredible. Moved up to 4th in offense after the BYU win and down to 365th in 2PA distance, finally passing Mississippi Valley State. Just amazing.

On hand for BYU-Houston. It's a full house and most of those in attendance are NBA scouts.

Would be the funniest story if Gonzaga's only 2 losses before the tournament were to Michigan and Portland. (This would be the upset of year, obvs)

Not often you see a team down 32 with under 10 minutes left get their win probability off the 0.0% floor, but Syracuse did it.

I have game times back to the 2011 season, and since then these are the dates with the most games with a listed start time prior to 1 pm ET. It's a special day tomorrow.

Despite changes to reviews, game times in the men's game continue to increase. Though not as much increase as the past 2 seasons, so yay? (Games between power conference teams, regular season only)

I'm going to be kind of obsessed about average 2PA distance the rest of the season. GW (4th best in 2PA distance) and Houston (5th worst) are currently playing in separate games, and here's what their respective 1st half shot charts look like if you want to see what the extremes look like.

Campbell posted a program record 1.54 points per possession in their win over Green Bay today.

THE SWAC IS BACK. With Prairie View giving LSU some mild stress tonight, the SWAC now has 6 teams in the top 300, an accomplishment that hasn't happened in over 20 years, when there were barely 300 teams in existence. People are saying the SWAC is "gaming the system" by playing so many buy games.

Regardless of what happens anywhere in sports tonight, the biggest upset will be 3-23 Jerome "not the RPI guy" Palm winning the opening tip against 20-3 Mohamed Wague, who comically whiffs on his attempt to gain control while Palm also barely connects.

Utah State hangs on for an 83-78 win contributing to yet another banger of a scoring day across the country.

On hand for a spicy matchup between Illinois State and Utah State at Delta Center.

We officially have an epidemic in college basketball. With Arizona's pantsing of Auburn tonight, 8 out of 30 games between kp top 25 teams have been decided by at least 20 points. A rate which currently dwarfs previous seasons.

Doug Gottlieb threw a chair tonight and for good reason: Green Bay was on the wrong end of the least likely comeback of the season, losing an 11-point lead (with the ball!) in the final 2:53.

Another bananas scoring night, 5th highest of the past 30 years. 9 of the 13 highest-scoring days (min 50 games) now belong to this season

Greg McDermott, a model of perfection for all the 2-foul participation absolutists. Then again, Creighton has only had 34 seconds all season where a starter has had 2 fouls in the first half. It took them 8 minutes to commit their first foul against Baylor.

On hand for BYU-Wisconsin. Game number 3 for me, but game 19 for officials Kipp Kissinger and Brooks Wells, who have yet to take a day off.

We had points as expected

On hand for the 10th best matchup of the night, Weber State and Campbell, who has the only coach that's also a H.U.M.A.N. poll super voter.

kenpom @kenpom.com · 12/11/2025
Another night that lands on the top 10 scoring days of the past 30 seasons. This season now has the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 9th highest entries of the 1,021 days with at least 50 games since the '97 season.

This game did its part (in ot) to contribute to what should go down as the highest scoring day of college basketball since the mid 1990s

The top ten scoring days in men's college basketball history* to 8 decimal point accuracy. Two of them have occurred this season. Hopeful today makes a third. *Since the 1997 season, minimum 50 D-I vs D-I games
