    If Auburn doesn't win the NCAA championship this year..

    Per Thamel earlier today, Proctor likely to return against UNC next Saturday. And idk - the schedule narrative is over blown to me when you are that talented and winning by an average of nearly 40… for sure a historically bad conference and yet a correspondingly historically wild MoV even for a...

    If Auburn doesn't win the NCAA championship this year..

    Tip of the cap. Nice post. I think both teams have improved majorly from that early December matchup. Duke’s offensive is farrrr better than it was before new year and Auburn’s defense and depth have improved markedly. Would be such an interesting game on a neutral floor if both are bully...

    Still a 3 Seed per Lunardi

    I don’t think their run was entirely midmajors, if I recall correctly. They had a rough matchup in S16 against a very good Utah team (KenPom #8) with two first NBA round picks who was in the PAC12 at the time, no? PAC12 wasn’t mid major back then.

    Still a 3 Seed per Lunardi

    Everything you say is correct; and that is why there is material error in a reveal now. If the tournament started tomorrow, the reveal would be useful. But because it does not take into account that we must play, for example, Auburn and Alabama in the next few games, it is not useful when the...

    Still a 3 Seed per Lunardi

    Yes we are speaking past each other. They do use the predictive efficiency metrics as they sit here today to compare apples to apples. But they aren’t saying “we project that on March 16, we believe based on predictive models that UK will be a 3 seed.” They are saying if the season ended...

    Still a 3 Seed per Lunardi

    The Committee bases the reveal on the here-and-now record, not on predictions of future performance, and therefore fails to weigh as a factor heavy or light scheduling in-conference at this point in time. If you are ignoring the predictive tools’ use of relative balancing, you are going to wind...

    Still a 3 Seed per Lunardi

    We wouldn’t be favored against Illinois. Sitting here today, KP has it a statistical tie, which would result in an opening line of a pick ‘em. Of course, there is no way to know where each team will sit in 5 weeks. UNC-G, on the other hand, is a different animal and the opening line would be...
