Celebrated weather expert Ken Pomeroy has come out with his 2016 College Basketball Ratings, and he is riding the Princeton bandwagon, reinforcing the idea that the smart money is on Princeton to win the 2015-16 Ivy championship. KenPom’s numbers reflect the notion that Yale’s comparatively weak adjusted offensive efficiency and Columbia’s comparatively weak adjusted defensive efficiency will respectively hold them back from trumping the Tigers this season.
81 – Princeton
115 – Yale
126 – Columbia
169 – Harvard
224 – Penn
229 – Dartmouth
243 – Brown
311 – Cornell
And the final 2015 KenPom College Basketball Ratings:
70 – Yale
73 – Harvard
148 – Princeton
165 – Dartmouth
175 – Columbia
205 – Cornell
261 – Brown
289 – Penn
Clearly, Asquith J. Cockburn III gave Pomeroy his “smart money” to put the Tigers first.
I ain’t buyin’.
The AQ
Not only first, but 34 spots higher in the rankings than the next Ivy club! I’m buyin’…
