Just missed it but might end up down there depending on how the season goes.
We play...
#363 Mississippi Valley St.
#354 IU Indy
MAC team Buffalo making a cameo in the ignoble bottom ten.
RIP to IUPUI ("Ooh-Eee-Puh-Eee")
I'm glad there's screen grabs of where Baylor was before last night. They fell to 26th at KP and 25 at Torvik.
My sources are saying Scott Drew is washed up and is focused on getting an NBA gig…
The first thing I saw about that game was that massive Baylor dunk. My thought was sweet, the Big12 is backing up its brand handling an OOC top 10 opponent...
I think they will be OK (for what they are) by year end. They hustled and their guards looked super quick to me. Teams like that win some games. They won't be 1-30 anyway.
Also, thanks @Sigmapolis you are doing the lord's work here with the stats and info updates.
Team Rankings never emailed me about the game lost night.
Odd. I'll figure that out sometime.
Not much change after the game last night...
The numbers actually went down slightly for missing the "spread" on MVSU by roughly five.
I think all of us know not to read too much into such changes before the Auburn game.

The computers liked the UMKC game (which was a surprisingly salty team) more than MVSU...
I was impressed by UMKC. You could tell when they hit the wall in the 2nd half but they competed well. I wouldn't be surprised if they win the Summit this year
They were very disciplined in executing in the first half and getting some good looks and keeping it tight. Then we clamped down and once they got down and had to start pushing more it was game over
Marvin Menzies has won a lot of games in his life. It's not a huge surprise they played well.
I also hope this helps the people that don't follow low and mid major basketball to realize there are huge differences. KC is KenPom206 today. Those 100 spots make a huge difference and you'd see another huge difference between 206 and 106.
Everything below the P? level is not the same.

Current Torvik rankings of the non-P5 teams on the schedule...
#182 UMKC
#285 Nebraska Omaha
#316 Morgan St.
#325 Jackson St.
#348 IU Indy
#363 Mississippi Valley St.
Compared to last season...
#253 Idaho St.
#256 Green Bay
#262 Grambling St.
#280 New Hampshire
#320 Eastern Illinois
#339 Florida A&M
#342 Prairie View A&M
#354 Lindenwood
(Two fewer this year because of two more Big 12 games.)
UMKC is by far the best "cupcake" we've seen the past 12 months.
Obviously they were still outmatched against a high-level Big 12 team, but they looked and played like somebody that should be scary against their peers competing for an AQ.
I think Green Bay was bottom 10 when we played them last year, and then rose 100 spots after that. After watching that game last night, I think IU Indy could do the same this year (assuming they stay healthy) - they have a lot of really good pieces that have not played D1 ball before, so the early season analytics don't have much to go on
