Over the past several weeks, I have presented a series of analyses where I used Ken Pomeroy’s efficiency data to make various projections about the upcoming Big Ten basketball season. While the robustness of this type of efficiency data this early and in such an unusual season is certainly debatable, it does provide a useful tool with which one can objectively look at the upcoming season.
As MSU prepares to take on the first Big Ten opponent of the year on Sunday in Evanston, I thought that it would be a good exercise to look at MSU’s entire schedule as a whole to get a feel for how the season might ebb and flow.
