Since 1985 . . .
Most titles
6....UConn
5....Duke
4....North Carolina
Most FF appearances:
14...Duke
12...North Carolina
10...Kansas
I don't know if anyone knows what "The Standard" at @UNC_Basketball is, but the best visual breakdown I've seen is from @dadgumboxscores
open.substack.com/pub/blessy…
It has only been one game, but this @UNC_Basketball team will need to play differently
So far that seems to be the case:
-18% more makes assisted
-more 3pt balance
-fewer long jumpers

Bracket Odds: Yahoo! vs. @totally_t_bomb
Tough decision? Might as well lean towards making headway in your pool! Bigger pool? Pick a rare champ to increase your chances!
I expect the Yahoo! odds will shift, so I'll re-share later

North Carolina’s ranks among the 8 teams in the “Last 4 In” and “First 4 Out”
NET: 1st
WAB: 1st
KenPom: 1st
Non-Con SOS: 1st
Q1 W-L: 8th
Understandable to think the Q1 record would keep them out but the other metrics were strong.
Time to focus on things other Quads.
From Tar Heels everywhere... Thank you @SethBurn

I've run the algorithmic bracket:
docs.google.com/spreadsheets…
One thing I'd like to note is that every version of WAB or strength of record would have UNC safely in. They are 41st in my average, 42nd per @totally_t_bomb , 43rd per NET WAB. ESPN's BPI SOR has them 38th. They belong.

Probably worth re-sharing this WAB walkthrough, been hearing a lot about it today
You may be hearing a lot about this "WAB"... what is it exactly?!?
Here's my attempted explainer, I hope folks find it useful, and apologies in advance for the math on a Friday afternoon 🤓
(also - h/t to @totally_t_bomb's site where I got the data)
A fun look at Bracket Luck from a WAB-y point of view
Basically "how likely is an above average team to have won your two games"
