Decided to look at Big 12 KenPom basketball rankings to see where the Utes stand after getting creamed by Baylor.
KenPom
Here’s how teams are currently ranked (out of 364 total teams)
Big 12 Rank (KenPom Overall Ranking) Team
1 (4) Houston
2 (5) Iowa State
3 (12) Kansas
4 (14) Baylor
5 (19) Arizona
6 (23) Cincinnati
7 (26) Texas Tech
8 (34) BYU
9 (46) West Virginia
10 (60) Arizona State
11 (65) UCF
12 (67) Utah
13 (69) TCU
14 (77) Colorado
15 (86) Kansas State
16 (108) Oklahoma State
I was a little surprised to see the Utes were not currently ranked as one of the bottom 3 teams in the Big-12. Utah seems to be in a cluster of teams ranked between 60 and 80 in KenPom that might make for some close games. I guess we will see how conference play goes!
