no national champion has finished outside the top 25 defensively since Kenpom started doing advanced stats. Very telling stat. The old saying rings true.....defense wins championships.

So...either UK, Zona, Utah, Wichita, Oklahoma or Louisville is your champion this year.

So, our defense would have to improve nearly 10 times over to give us a chance?

Same can be said for offense if I remember correctly.

Kenpom's adjusted D had us just inside the top 30.

Just seen that. Man we fell off at the end of that year. We were hovering 15-20 that whole year. I was shocked to see we were 47th last year defensively but had no offense.

While I won't say 47th is where we should be defensively, offense was definitely the problem last year. It's like we switched our problems from last year to this year.

If I remember correctly the majority of the national champs were actually in the top 10 defensively. At least that's what I remember people posting 2 years ago when they doubted we could win a national title.
