For the guy who used statistical anomaly to dismiss the performance of 4 teams and 13 wins in the tournament (calling the ACC performance in the tournament an outlier), you’re sure putting a lot of weight on a single half of basketball. And nobody here believes Miami was one of the two or four...

You think a loss to Kansas in the Elite 8 proved the models right??? Because there’s no difference between being ranked 15-20 (where we deserved to be ranked) and 45-50 (where we were ranked… is that your point? Last year Miami’s KenPom ranking was in the high 40’s or 50’s before the...
