Gophers highest KenPom losing team in history

[fmlizard]

The Gophers, at KenPom rank #32 going into Bloomington Wednesday night, are the highest ranked losing team in the 19 season history of the KenPom rankings. Only 2015 Florida who wound up #34 at 16-17 comes close.

Not sure if anyone has said this here yet, but damn. Look it up. #1 schedule + last minute losses.

It's the perfect numeric storm. KP says this is the best Gopher team since 2013 and 2nd best since they started ranking in 2002.

No, it is not.

That is not very good. Not a single top 10 or even 20 Kenpom, no conference title etc....

Typical that Gopher Sports breaks another best loser record.

I love this stat. After every loss I keep telling my out of state basketball pals, “this is the best <insert record> team I’ve ever seen”. Now I have the stats to back it up.

Reminds me of people on the GH football board pointing out that Auburn was one of the highest rated 9-3 teams ever before the Gophers played them in the Outback Bowl

We're the best of the worst!

This is why Pitino will be back next season. I think Coyle takes all this into account. Young team, close losses, tough schedule, and a very solid recruiting class coming in. Next season will certainly be his last if he can't get it done.
