Today was Christmas for college basketball analytics nerds like myself as Ken Pomeroy released his projections for the 2019-20 season. For the uninitiated, Pomeroy has been spitting out college basketball analytics for almost two decades now and they are the gold standard upon which all other basketball projection systems aspire. They are intended to be an entirely predictive metric and do not factor in how difficult or not a team’s schedule will be or the number of wins they will accumulate.
The Huskies have generally under performed in Pomeroy’s rankings since Coach Hopkins arrived on Montlake and that has fed into their current spot for this year.
