In case you missed it, the long awaited update of KenPom.com occurred Sunday night. Heading into the season, you figure the Big East is going to look pretty good. After all, since reformation, the conference has finished 5th, 3rd, 2nd and 3rd in its Adjusted Efficiency Margin rankings. Not a bad spot to be, especially when you’ve been Top 3 in the last three years.
Well, the Big East is projected to be in the Top 3 again. 2nd, to be precise. The conference’s projected mark of +15.05 is only below the Big 12’s projection of +18.
