Marquette at #19, results taken from the 14-15, 15-16 and 16-17 seasons. Pretty good considering those were some questionable years for us.

Duke and MU the only private schools on the list?

So Nova wins 2 titles in 3 years on a smaller budget and less profitable than all those programs. Go figure.

Crapshoot.  A lot has to lineup not only for your team, but having the right teams lose in the other side of the brackets that can do you harm.  It's not simply linear on what our team does, but what is happening everywhere else.  The 29th game of the first two days may be played 3000 miles away and not in your region and have huge implications for your team's run because that particular team that just got knocked out was a brutal matchup of you, but someone else knocked them off.

Pretty sure he was referring to the fact he was surprised that Nova, despite winning 2 of 3 titles, wasn't as profitable as anyone on the list.
But thank you very much for explaining the very obvious concept of tournament matchups.......

Pretty sure I was pointing out that winning the title doesn't mean you are the best team and as great of an accomplishment as it is, there is much luck that goes with it....therefore profitability doesn't really mean much in terms of how teams do.

Gonzaga is number 1 and played for a title two years....they are not on the list either and likely won't ever.

You are welcome. 😘
