If the NCAA tournament committee uses 7 metrics to determine the field and UNC is 1st among bubble team in 6 of those 7 metrics, how can you justify picking anyone else?
The only team Carolina's lost to in the last month+ is the #1 team in the country. They're top 15 on BartTorvik during that time winning by an average of 17 points.
BuT tHe QuAd 1 LoSseS!
Yes, their Q1 record stinks and they should've won some of those games.
But Q1 record determines the NET & Carolina leads all bubble teams in NET & KenPom. Also 7 of those Q1 games were against 1 & 2 seeds. So you can't evaluate a game at San Francisco the same way as a game at Dook.
If they were 1-4 in Q1 and racked up a more Q2/3 wins, you're saying they're in? If so, avoid scheduling great teams in the future because the committee is saying the metrics don't matter & a tough schedule hurts more than it helps.
If metrics matter, UNC is in.

@martymush Watched the whole game. I missed the part where Duke showed they were better than UNC. Guess I'll have to go back and watch again for a closer look.
@isaacschade Good news Isaac! I was reliably informed last year by the 'experts' at ESPN that Q1 wins are the only thing that matters! And we've got plenty of those now, so we should be good 😂
