[QUOTE="lstewart53x3, post: 1981480, member: 10313"] To keep it simple: You move up and down in KenPom based on your offensive and defensive efficiency in each game compared to your expected offensive and defensive efficiency in that particular game. IE: Based on how good Missouri’s offense and defense is, X is the expected outcome of the game. We played better than X, hence our overall efficiency improves and we move up. What went up the most in this game was our offensive efficiency from #30 to #20 (defensive efficiency moved up 1 spot). One thing to keep in mind is that the rating system is not linear. Those teams in the 10-20 range all have a very similar efficiency rating. We moved up in efficiency by 1.3, which is great for a single game, but Houston, for example, who’s #1 in KenPom, is ahead of Arizona (#2) by more than 1.3. So this game jumped us 8 spots, but it would not have taken us from 1-2. Houston, #1, is currently ahead of us in efficiency by +7. We’re +7 the 40th ranked team. So team 40, is closer to team 8, than team 8 is to team 1. [/QUOTE]
