Beeswarm chart showing every Division I men’s basketball team’s KenPom Adjusted Efficiency Margin (AdjEM) by season from 2007–2026. Atlantic 10 teams are highlighted in team colors, with all other teams in gray. A red line tracks the A10 median AdjEM each year, labeled above the plot. The conference peaks around +8.4 in 2014, dips to about +0.6 in 2019, and rebounds near +7.5 by 2024, illustrating a full cycle in league-wide efficiency.

The @atlantic10.bsky.social @kenpom.com profile shows a full cycle:

📈 +8.4 (2014) → 📉 +0.6 (2019) → 📈 ~+7.5 (2024)

~7.8 drop, ~6.9 recovery.

Still 7th among conferences, driven more by sport-wide efficiency gains than league changes.

All credit to Rhody but I don’t think there’s any reason for SLU to panic. Sometimes variance spits in your face and the 35% shooter hits 9 threes against you.

Their offense has been the headline stealer this year but their defense has been really good as well before tonight. Though not sure if anything could have stopped Hinton tonight.

Jonah Hinton was absolutely on fire from the perimeter, hitting 9 threes and scoring 29 to help lead Rhodyto the upset. #GoRhody
