Message: [QUOTE="VAHuskyFan, post: 4919885, member: 1585"] Wins against Top-5 Kenpom teams needed to reach Final Four (to chalk): [B]UConn(1) = 2[/B] Houston(1) = 0 Purdue(1) = 0 UNC(1) = 0 Iowa State(2) = 2 Arizona(2) = 0 Tennessee(2) = 1 Marquette(2) = 1 Illinois(3) = 2 Creighton(3) = 1 Baylor(3) = 0 Kentucky(3) = 1 Auburn(4) = 2 Duke(4) = 1 Alabama(4) = 0 Kansas(4) = 1 Explain to me why, as the top overall seed, we need to beat two top 5 teams to make the Final Four, while for 11-loss Alabama (who finished 5th in the SEC), the number is zero? There’s no defense for the bracket the committee put out. The other top-4 seeds in our bracket are also pissed - and rightly so. You can’t put 3 Top-5 Kenpom teams in the same bracket if you’re being even remotely serious. [/QUOTE]
