Before Alabama enters the SEC Tournament, let’s look at the latest update of ESPN’s Basketball Power Index.
According to ESPN, the BPI is a “measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of performance going forward. BPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Strength of record is a measure of team accomplishment based on how difficult a team’s won-loss record was to achieve. Game predictions account for opponent strength, pace of play, site, travel distance, day’s rest, and altitude, and are used to simulate the season 10,000 times to produce season projections. Numbers update daily.”
