    You can read the full description below. Essentially tier A is a top 50 game adjusted for location and tier B is a top 100 game adjusted for location. For example he has determined that beating #90 on the road, #50 on a neutral and #20 on your home court are about equally difficult. Kenpom does some really cool stuff and it is well worth the $20/year but it is also cool he is fine with sharing and posting screenshots as long as you give him credit. Otherwise the main ratings page and the blog are free to follow as well.

Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

          funny story related to this-last Saturday the family was headed to Atlanta and we were on the tram at Minnesota airport. Guy noticed our UNI shirts and started up a conversation about UNI. He said he is officiating the UNI-Wisconsin closed scrimmage this weekend.Eric Curry was his name,says he mostly officiates PAC 12.Works for Sun Country too.

            Eric Curry is the referee who flat out stole a victory from us at Indiana State like 4 years ago, calling a shooting foul on Jake Koch on a half court heave at the buzzer.

              Awkward.....

              Wonder why he would start up a conversation with someone wearing a UNI shirt if he did that?

              One final middle finger to our fan base?

              (mwahaha - I'll strike up a conversation with this UNI fan, then by the time he figures out who I am, I'll be gone)

              Victory for U-N-I!

              Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

                He's literally been banned by the Big Sky, yet the Big Ten still uses him. That's really all you need to know about Big Ten officiating.

                  That loss is still being blamed on the refs? Interesting...

                    Well a phantom foul at the horn from 50 feet away tends to leave a lasting impression...

                      Jake shouldn't have been that close, but that in no way was a foul. Turns out three free throws at the end of the game on a phantom foul in a tight game makes a big difference.

                        This happened to WSU against Evansville a few years ago as well. Ned Cox jumped into somebody at half court and they gave him 3 free throws. He missed one so it went to OT where WSU eventually won against a dreadful UE team.

                        That sort of bullcrap call does tend to stick with you. I remember even though WSU won. Just looked it up, it was 2010.

                          Yep.

                          Was a 1 point game and a foul was called 30-35 feet from the hoop with .3 on the clock on an off balance running full speed desperation throw (won't even call it a shot). Odom hit two of three. UNI had taken a 58-57 lead with 4 seconds left after a jumper by Anthony James.


                          Bad positioning by Jake.
                          Worse call made by official.

                                Not the report that I wanted to hear, but Wisconsin is a veteran team with very high expectations. With all of our new faces probably not a shocking outcome.
