KenPom 2018-19

KenPom has published its preseason rankings. Here’s a couple of snippets:
Dukes ranked #171 in country (#201 last year); #11th in the A-10 (11th last year)
Projected offensive efficiency at #161 (179th last year); defensive efficiency at #191 (236th last year)
Projected record: 15-16; 7-11 in A-10. Improved efficiency numbers but the about the same record due to a little tougher schedule.

Establishing a statistical model for this Duquesne team is really a crapshoot. Pomeroy uses historical data on individual players and the head coach to develop his baseline rankings. Having stats on only 3 returning players plus old stats from our 5 transfers provides limited insight into what to expect. Pomeroy does not consider freshman in his calculations unless they are a top 30 recruit.

These stats will change as games are played. We should certainly have a better idea by the end of November what we have in this year’s team.

As for our opener projection, the Dukes are winners 78-77.
