Actual results so far plus the rest of the seasonplayed out 10,000 times with the win chance for each game (non-Division I opponents count as 97% wins). The title is the regular-season crown; conference tournaments aren't included. Later rounds of holiday tournaments are added once the opponent is known.
Why #33 in the preseason
What the computer saw going in
- →Last season: #25 in the country (+24.6), 29-7.
- →26% of last season's minutes are back.
- →6 transfers in, led by AJ Bates (Louisiana Tech, 12.1 ppg), Connor Turnbull (Evansville, 11.6 ppg), Will Hornseth (Northern Iowa, 11.1 ppg). Transfers moving up a level are counted cautiously.
- →Lost MJ Collins Jr. (17.5 ppg, now at Cincinnati), Drake Allen (7.9 ppg), Adlan Elamin (6.7 ppg, now at Cincinnati).
- →New head coach: Ben Jacobson, replacing Jerrod Calhoun. A coaching change usually costs a little in year one; his teams have finished 3.9 points above expectations, which counts a little.
The preseason rating counts for about five games, then real results take over.
