ESPN Basketball Power Index

Hey, don’t look now but we’ve got a decent round ball team!


With our win over Troy, we’ve snuck up to 133 on ESPN’s BPI.

Unlike prior years when we sat around the 300’s and surrounded ourselves with the likes of Doug’s College, Salisbury Technical Institute and Devry, we’ve actually got some real names around us.

UNCC - 164
Wofford - 146
Hofstra - 140
UCLA - 139
APP STATE - 133
Boston College - 128
Wake - 111
Georgia Tech - 109
Ga State (top ranked sunbelt team) - 106


Nice to actually look forward to basketball again!

I'm going to try to catch a few on ESPN this year. I like what Kerns has been able to do thus far.

NET rankings has us as the highest ranked Sun Belt team at 107.

Notables:

GaSt - 115
Notre Dame - 105
Wake Forest - 103
Clemson - 116
MS State - 100
UNC - 89
UNC-G - 64
NC State - 38

To save a quick google search for those wondering how it’s determined - NET rankings rely on game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses. Other factors play in as well.

It's so crucial for all of us to catch a couple of games in person if you can. Every body in that building matters.

The game coming up against NC State could be huge if we can find a way to win it!
