And that's why we should still root for teams that will improve our NET - we want a 4 seed.To wit,
Obviously from 2018 so omits a few years but 1st round win by seed
10 39.5%
11 37.5%
12 35.4%

15 6.3%
16 0.7%
Shows the relationship you would expect (no outsize winning percentage by 12 seed). It is advantageous to get into the 13+ though as those are the auto bids who wouldn’t be good enough to get an at large bid
Is it?In terms of AP ratings, it's current best teams not rating the season.
AgreedBoth Indiana and Minnesota have looked really bad, imo. Minnesota started taking the air out of the ball up one with like 5 minutes left, lol
Yeah. Was wondering what they were waiting for.Losers find ways to lose. Indiana is going to escape
Lol Minny let like 12 seconds run off the clock before fouling
They are asked to rank the best teams. Not the best seasons or resumes.Is it?
One description:Is it?
“Best” isn’t well defined though. In practice they certainly come closer to ranking the best resumes than they do the best teams. AP rankings are trash as predictors.They are asked to rank the best teams. Not the best seasons or resumes.
Doesn't it seem like Minnesota is always shorthanded.Minnesota with players out is having the same kind of game they had vs Rutgers last year. Even Gophers can find a nut
Minnesota scares me. Would be a Q4 loss but they are far from a Q4 team lately.
More so recently than a few years ago“Best” isn’t well defined though. In practice they certainly come closer to ranking the best resumes than they do the best teams. AP rankings are trash as predictors.
Great stats. Thanks for sharing. Actually very surprised every single winning percentage fits perfectly within its expected range - i.e.., each seed wins a little less than the seed immediately above and a little more than the one below. It shows the committee really does a good job seeding teamsTo wit,
