Nicholls St leading Pitt 41-31 at the half.
In the broad scheme of things....yeah, we feel better because they've proven that they aren't brutal.Nicholls beats Pitt 75-70 at Pitt who beat FSU already. Makes the OT victory over them feel a little better.
It still looks bad, just not as awful.So Ncholls St just beat Pitt 75-70. Maybe our narrow win over them doesn’t look so bad?
Nicholls St is definitely not a high 200s Kenpom team... Someone did not correctly factor in the impact that McClanahan was going to have on this team. Sure, they're essentially a 6 man rotation but they play pretty decent defense. I would not be at all surprised if Nicholls St rode up the Kenpom rankings to ~150 (+/- 25).
Let's see how they match up with LSU next Saturday. If they give LSU a run for their money then I think our OT win is going to look quite a bit better.
It's pretty much impossible to factor in a coach's impact on a team. But that's why advanced stats should be taken with a big grain of salt to start the season. They will become more accurate as the season goes on.

If they (Nichols) magically win their conference..will rate as a decent quality win. Just doesn't feel great currently.It still looks bad, just not as awful.
