Teams in WCBB don't really play enough games or each other to get a realistic evaluation where the stand in respect to their ranking. To many variables have a larger impact via each game. Teams/key players, can just have bad shooting games. Basketball is a game of timing and match ups. You can match up better with one team than another so there is some luck involved with just the bracketing for a start. Then there is timing- Comparitive scores often do not reflect that aspect. You can catch a team when they are shooting lights out or conversely are not hitting anything. An inferior team having a good day catching a better team on one of their lessor days will often win.  Bad shooting can not always be attributed to good defense. All you have to do is watch good free throw shooters miss a couple in a row to recognize that fact.

When you have a single elimination tournament the " any given day factor" is big. With more paridy, this should begin to play a greater role in the final NCAA outcome. Sometimes it' better to be lucky than good.
