With the weirdness this season has already provided, it can be tough to accurately assess performance on the basketball court with just the eye test. On the one hand, I feel most of us would agree Auburn has played well thus far, especially being down their starting point guard and having his backup transfer out. However, Auburn has lost to two of the three best teams it has played, and four of the six wins have come against teams ranked 200th or worse in KenPom.
So how can we talk about what we’ve seen? Well, if you know me, I’m not one to break down film and grade performances, so I rely on cold, hard numbers.
