Heading into the Final Four, it canโt be overstated how great the last two seasons have been; 6 of the Top 10 KenPom teams ALL-TIME are from โ25 & โ26.
#3 @umichbball & #4 @ArizonaMBB will be 2nd pair of teams to square off (the 2025 championship saw #8 Houston vs #10 Florida).
@Bauertology@amatorsarcasmi@PonyHype Hereโs a Q: Should they be different? I feel like if Miami was selected into the field ahead of SMU et al., then the seeding should show that.
Weโre letting predictives go too far in what the bracket looks like. Again, just 2 cents from another โbracketologist.โ
Well, 65/68 teams is not great (our First 3 out made the field; our last three in did not).
Exact Seed: 47
W/in 1 seed: 63 (Memphis -3, L'Ville +2)
Point Score = 352 (would have been T5th last year).
@AI_Bracketology Ha. Good call!
What I find interesting -- and this is via T-Rank -- is the WAB number is that good but Bart's system still has them ranked 24th. Gonzaga, on the other hand, with a 2.7 WAB (33rd) is ranked 11th.
@AI_Bracketology That makes sense. It wouldn't be egregious if they were a 4 (nor if they were a 6) in my opinion. They are one of those teams have have the metrics but stink a bit with the eye test.
You are right with the WAB, however. They're sitting +5.5 in that (ranked 13th).
