This will allow you to more easily identify unique matchups in any game. Surprised that Northwestern went almost 25 minutes before getting its first offensive rebound against Michigan last night? Well you shouldn\u2019t have. And while you could have determined that from clicking on each team\u2019s page, now you can see the data <a href=\"http:\/\/kenpom.com\/gameprep.php?g=2716\" title=\"side-by-side\">side-by-side<\/a>. Use it before the game, or use it at a commercial break to get up to speed on a game you\u2019ve just tuned in to.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ranking progression<\/b> \u2013 On each team\u2019s schedule you can now see that team\u2019s rank before each game it played this season. So the fact that Wisconsin was <a href=\"http:\/\/kenpom.com\/team.php?team=Wisconsin\" title=\"ranked first in early January\">ranked first in early January<\/a> will forever be recorded. You can also see <a href=\"http:\/\/kenpom.com\/team.php?team=Pittsburgh\" title=\"Pitt\u2019s amazing slide\">Pitt\u2019s amazing slide<\/a> as well. Yes, they miss Travon Woodall, but it&#8217;s hard to see him being the difference between a top 25 team and whatever the Panthers are now.<\/p>\n<p><b>Conference SOS<\/b> \u2013 This was introduced last season, but it\u2019s been put back on the conference pages with conference play heating up. It can be a useful mid-season tool in evaluating conference records\/stats. Colorado is leading the Pac-12 at this moment, but they\u2019ve played by far <a href=\"http:\/\/kenpom.com\/conf.php?c=P12\" title=\"the easiest schedule in the conference so far\">the easiest schedule in the conference to this point<\/a>. Which means the rest of their schedule is going to be tougher than everyone else&#8217;s.&nbsp; And since they\u2019re an average Pac-12 team to begin with, that probably means a correction is on the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There have been some features added to the site over the past 2-3 weeks and I haven&#8217;t gone out of my way to publicize them.
