For college basketball junkies, the KenPom rankings have become to best and most detailed resource to check out each season. It’s a comprehensive system giving a true indication of how good or bad a basketball team is, as it utilizes advanced statistics and covers all 351 Division I teams.
Last season, sadly, Rutgers finished #279th in the rankings, easily the worst ranked power five conference team in the country and they came close to being the lowest ranked team since KenPom started in 2002. That is worth noting when looking at where KenPom ranked Rutgers in the preseason rankings and the season prediction that was just released on Sunday night.
