Message: [QUOTE="JustbrewitMan, post: 5164289, member: 7806"] Gonzaga is an interesting case study for metrics like KP. Look, there's no denying that Few has built and sustained a quality CBB program, But, they're in a really weak overall conference so they need to play higher-quality teams to give them higher seedings in the NCAA's. But, the main time they do this is at the front-end of the season...when even real strong teams are "figuring it out". Then, they go to their conference play and, with the recent exceptions of maybe StMU and SF, go and beat up on a bunch of KP 150-300 teams (5 in current KP) and play a few "decent mid-major" teams in the 75-150 range. The WCC tournament is a joke and they only have to play 2 teams to win it. All this makes their KP metrics look real good. I think they go into the NCAAs a little soft and less battle-tested. [/QUOTE]
