The third version of the in-season males’s faculty basketball Energy Rankings brings with it a 3rd change on the No. 1 spot. And after what we noticed this week from Dusty Could’s Michigan staff in Vegas, the Wolverines left little question about whether or not their newfound standing on the prime is deserving.
In a Gamers Period occasion whose standards of advancing in a nonbracket event was solely scoring differential, Michigan accepted the problem and, stunningly, destroyed everybody in its path. Working example: After coming into the week with an 18.3 level scoring margin in opposition to opponents that ranked, on common, 96.8 at KenPom.com, it defeated three groups in three days this week in Las Vegas whose common KenPom score is 25.7 — and by a median margin of 36.7 (!!!) factors.
Of these three wins, two (Monday vs. San Diego State and Wednesday vs. Gonzaga) have been by greater than 40 factors.
There are groups in faculty basketball whose resume is probably higher than Michigan’s proper now, I’ll concede. (I see ya nonetheless, Arizona.) However that is the Energy Rankings, in any case. It is all about who’s peaking proper now. And as of proper now, nobody is hotter than Michigan.
Who’s faculty basketball’s finest staff? Michigan makes case with emphatic, history-making Gamers Period title run
