WCC Will Use KenPom (sort of) for Seeding in Tournament

The WCC Tournament has enlisted college basketball statistician Ken Pomeroy to help seed their conference tournament for both men’s and women’s basketball.

“The reality of not completing a full conference schedule is in front of us and we have explored alternative models to properly seed our men’s and women’s basketball tournament,” said commissioner Gloria Nevarez in a release. “The Ken Pomeroy adjusted conference winning percentage model that has been developed for the WCC provides the most accurate reflection of the conference games that have been completed. We appreciate the opportunity to lean on Ken’s well-regarded expertise and thoroughly analyzed algorithms to develop this model for seeding our conference tournament.
