Normally, I would eye-roll any best bubble talk, but the number of bids that have been "stolen" this weekend mean this is undeniably true The cut line is 5 or 6 teams higher/stronger than a typical season

MSU's inclusion is a slap in the face to every committee member who harps about resume. Should have been the 8th team out and instead get a 9 seed.

Eating Taco Bell, on the way to see Dune 2, and there's an entire bracket to fill out... Doesn't get much better than this

Classic, pick the worst version of a counterargument and argue against that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A fun look at Bracket Luck from a WAB-y point of view Basically "how likely is an above average team to have won your two games"

I've run the algorithmic bracket: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… One thing I'd like to note is that every version of WAB or strength of record would have UNC safely in. They are 41st in my average, 42nd per Bart T🏀rvik , 43rd per NET WAB. ESPN's BPI SOR has them 38th. They belong.

Probably worth re-sharing this WAB walkthrough, been hearing a lot about it today

From Tar Heels everywhere... Thank you Seth Burn #NewMetrics

North Carolina’s ranks among the 8 teams in the “Last 4 In” and “First 4 Out” NET: 1st WAB: 1st KenPom: 1st Non-Con SOS: 1st Q1 W-L: 8th Understandable to think the Q1 record would keep them out but the other metrics were strong. Time to focus on things other Quads.

Bracket Odds loading... Yep, I'll run these back tomorrow night 👍🏻

It has only been one game, but this Carolina Basketball team will need to play differently So far that seems to be the case: -18% more makes assisted -more 3pt balance -fewer long jumpers Keep an eye on chris' blessyourchart.substack.com for more shot charts!
