Or how Gonzaga is ranked #14 in the NET. They are 18-7 and 2-6 in quad 1 games. Over half of their games played are against quad 3/4 teams. There seems to be way too much weight placed on margin of victory. 

 

Correct. The NET is very reliant on margin of victory. Fortunately, they don't use it for selecting teams to the big dance. 

 

South Carolina was a 6 seed last year with a NET of 51. Northwestern was a 9 seed with a NET of 53. Virginia was a 10 seed with a NET of 54. 

 

The committee liked those 3 teams because their resume averages were very strong, even though their predictive metrics were not.

 

Fortunately for us, our resume average is 36.3.

We have 4 coinflip games in a row. Current bracketology is built on the assumption that we will win 2 of them when in reality 0-4 and 4-0 is on the table

Valid point and especially if we don't have Berke available during this stretch.

Northwestern doesn’t have their two best players available either though.

Martinelli is their best player and he’s still healthy.

I wonder what KenPoms game projection would be without Barnheizer and Leach against NW.

I would imagine the Huskers would be a 5 point favorite.

For my money I think Barnheiser was their best. He was great on offense and defense where Martinelli can be had on defense but scores a little more. 
 

Either way we need to take advantage of that game now.
