Good insight. Some highlights...says all Quad 1 wins aren't the same...like a home wins vs number 10 is better than a road win vs 28...says they use the eye test...says RPI is just one of many metrics used now...says he grades teams on 'points per opportunity' and that Gonzaga, Nevada, Rhode Island, Middle Tennessee he says has done a good job against the limited opportunities they are presented with.

And also he says they dissect losses...If a team has three or four bad losses, we want to know why. Did they have kids out? Kids get in foul trouble? Or is that a better indication of the team?

Could sum it up with: "We have a desired result, we'll find the numbers that support it."

They way overthink this.

They way overthink this.

I came to that conclusion also.

I mean, they have enough time to watch all these games live or on tape...plus go into each teams losses and try to find mitigating circumstances...they should only really dig deep if they are torn on who should be the last 1 seed or 2 seed or something or teams on the bubble.
