There’s a lot of room between “the metrics don’t matter” and “the sky is falling”. Bart ‘s site lets you compare teams with similar efficiency numbers - offensive rating, defensive rating, and tempo.

Seven of 10 made the Sweet Sixteen, three made the Elite Eight, and one made the finals. That doesn’t sound so bad. We’re not last year’s powerhouse team, and we were never going to be. I’d take a likely Sweet Sixteen team and have some faith that either our coaching staff fixes some issues, or maybe we get hot at the right time. And if that doesn’t sound like a good season, you all need to think back to what Selection Sunday was like during the late-Kevin Ollie era.
