Why don’t we play Yale in the regular season more often? Good team right in our backyard. You’d think it would be an annual thing.
And Yale is the kind of team you play in the first round, much more useful than playing an awful team.

A few dodgy pro Bama calls in Alabama/Charleston. Something to keep an eye on.

KenPom and the NET have been smoked as useful tools for NCAA selection. Worth its own thread.

Is something wrong with the basketballs? It seems like everyone has been having trouble with it

Meh. All data needs context. Auburn's context was almost no Q1 wins, 1-3 vs. Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, and an OOC resume that peaked with a win against Indiana. All they had were metrics, and that's a red flag to anyone paying attention.

Meanwhile, some schools have great computer metrics and great wins. That's the overlap you're looking for.

John Becker knows a thing or two about coming from behind. Don’t let up UVM!

They beat 7 tournament teams, 6 by double digits. Now it turns out ALL of those tournament teams were bad because the SEC was bad, but I was certainly not expecting that.

MWC, another efficiency rating darling, is 1-4. BYU was the poster child for gaming the metrics, and they were bounced. The Big 12's performance has been pedestrian, and that conference was dominant in the metrics.

VT playing hard and smart, and Duke seems not to have much of a clue on offense. Not sure what they’re trying to accomplish. If Vermont was hitting their open shots they’d be ahead.

Which tournament teams? How many were Top 4 seeds?

They beat Alabama once. That's it in terms of Top 4 seeds.
