Wrong answer.
2017-2018 non-conference schedule was...
W - West Virginia - at Ramstein AFB, Germany
W - UC-Santa Barbara
W - Oklahoma State - at Brooklyn, NY
W - Penn State - at Brooklyn, NY
W - Pepperdine
W - at Southern Cal
W - UT-RGV
L - Arizona - at Phoenix, AZ
W - Prairie View A&M
W - Savannah State
W - Northern Kentucky
W - Buffalo
L - at Kansas - SEC/Big 12 Challenge
We had none of our big non-conference games at home in '17-'18. At least this season we got to play Ohio State and Wake Forest at home. The game against Arizona was a virtual home game for the Cats as were the games in Ft. Worth and Indianapolis for Texas Tech and Purdue, respectively.
I would give a slight difficulty advantage to '24-'25. Warren Nolan's season-by-season history only goes back to 2021, and I'm too lazy to search for historical final NET numbers anywhere else.

2017-2018 non-conference schedule was...
With tourney seeds BOLDED
And kenpom rankings since NET was still a year away
W - West Virginia - at Ramstein AFB, Germany (5) 12
W - UC-Santa Barbara 123
W - Oklahoma State - at Brooklyn, NY 59
W - Penn State - at Brooklyn, NY 19
W - Pepperdine 271
W - at Southern Cal 51
W - UT-RGV 260
L - Arizona - at Phoenix, AZ (4) 28
W - Prairie View A&M 269
W - Savannah State 317
W - Northern Kentucky 90
W - Buffalo (13)
L - at Kansas - SEC/Big 12 Challenge (1) 9
We were a 7 seed and beat Providence in the 1st round and handed 2 seed UNC their worst ever NCAAT loss in the state of NC 86-65. I think they were 32-1 in NC in the tournament before that. Fun.

Pretty big jump for the Ags in NET, from 22 to 15.
tu slides from 40 to 43.

Kenpom up to #11, with the 5th best defense efficiency in the country! Next opponent is Oklahoma at 45, despite one loss lol! They have the 277th strength of schedule and 92nd defense
It's really not right how blowing out weaker opponents can make a rating jump up so much like this

Sip ranking after yesterday's beat down in College zstation shows that losing on the road, even in a blowout, doesn't kill one's NET ranking. Of course, in the 40s, lots of movement of other teams ranked similarly and around you as that is generally territory for "non-elite" teams that might be expected to lose almost as much as they win.
Oklahoma is also illustrative of this concept - dropping only slightly from NET 42 to 45 after getting demolished on the road by a "Quad 1a" team at highly ranked Alabama. In spite of their undefeated record, the Sooners were relatively low in NET ranking prior to their first loss - sort of surprising in light of their Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament Championship - which included neutral site wins over Providence, Arizona, and Louisville.
Regardless, still at NET 45, this next game at Oklahoma represents a Quad 1 road win opportunity for the now NET 15 ranked Aggies!
BTHO Oklahoma!!
I thought Buzz learned his lesson after scheduling a bunch of cupcakesTombstoneTex said:

Losing at Reed is not going to hurt anyone's net this year.

Except ours.
(Sorry to state the obvious)
Hopefully that does not happen to the Aggies hits year!
Waiting for the road Q1 win bump.

We only won by 2, so we probably don't get a huge bump. Small movements when you're this high up.
Offense on KenPom went up to 27 after the Zhu show
Just took a peek and we are at a 117.0 ORtg, 92.7 DRtg so far in 2025. We finished 2024 at 117.5 ORtg, 100.5 DRtg.taylorswift13_ said:

8 points better on defense per 100 possessions feels like a big jump from year to year. I really hope Buzz can keep this going through the rest of this year and beyond!
Back up to 15 today. Bigger jump was our SOS jumped to 30 from 49 yesterday.
