[Cracked Sidewalks] Bracketology: Monday Morning Point Guarding the Top-16

[brewcity77]

The NCAA released their Top-16 on Saturday and we have a number of lessons learned on how this Selection Committee will operate. Titles and metrics seem to trump quality wins, unless that metric was BPI for a Mountain West team. We talk about the lessons learned, what surprised us, and have an updated S-Curve and bracket taking those lessons into consideration.

Monday Morning Point Guarding the Top-16

One note...I am keeping Purdue at the #1 overall seed. I've seen a lot of debate about UConn, but the following is all true as of this morning:

Resume Average: Purdue is ahead, 1.0 to 4.0
Predictive Average: Purdue is ahead, 2.5 to 3.0
NCSOS: Purdue is ahead, 8 to 78
Q1A record: Purdue is ahead, 7-0 to 5-1

Everything that seemed to matter to the Selection Committee on Saturday still favors Purdue on Monday. If I were voting a top-25 ballot, I would have UConn ahead and think they are the better team right now, but in terms of resume, Purdue still has the best resume in the country.
