Why's this on the free board when one can simply google what the Kenpom ranking is.

lots of things are posted that is free available elsewhere, plus they put in the effort to summarize the relevant info

I've subscribed to Kenpom before and it's got a ton of info that you can sort in different ways, and tracks many metrics

I doubt all of that is available when you google it

I don't have premium but Cal basketball in January is playing at a much higher level than we were in November and December. Any statistical model that averages all of our play is going to underrate us going forward. That said, the PAC-12 in general is not highly rated this year so beating other teams is hurting them more than it is helping us and our best (long) shot is winning the PAC-12 Tourney.
