Kent is 5th in Luck per KenPom - time to end their luck. 

 

I wish someone would explain how KenPom calculates LUCK.

They moved up to 3rd overnight lmao

I suspect Evan will have the primary task of defending Gillespie tonight.  He'll be a little outsized but he's up to the task as he's one of the Zips best defenders.  If Whatley is out, Amani's free to take some of that on.

From KenPom-

 

"Luck, which is the deviation in winning percentage between a team’s actual record and their expected record using the correlated gaussian method. The luck factor has nothing to do with the rating calculation, but a team that is very lucky (positive numbers) will tend to be rated lower by my system than their record would suggest."

Today is the day. The only day of the year that my 12 year old is allowed to say the f word.

Both these guys are fantastic. Evan is the prototype for me as a representative of Akron Basketball (and we’ve had alot of good ones). Smart, charismatic, funny, spiritual, family/teammate oriented… and the dude loves country music and Major League?! Come on. Especially right before the Kent game and their decades-long history of thugs and idiots. 
 

And I don’t know who the interviewer is, but I’ve watched a couple of his across multiple sports and he’s GREAT. Well prepared but not stiff, asks great follow-ups, and puts the athletes at ease. 
 

Great content… keep it up UA.

Aren't there at least three days per year for that (one for football and at least two for basketball)?

I had the pleasure of speaking with Evan and Eric at the tip-off reception and could not have been more impressed.  They are both personable, mature and friendly.
