You know the drill by now.
Here's two teams. Which one has the better NCAA tournament resume.
It's not as simple as Barker's Bargain Bar, but it's damn close (but admittedly not as fun as Plinko)
| Team A |
Category |
Team B |
| 12-5 | W-L | 13-5 |
| 56 | RPI | 60 |
| 0-3 | Road | 2-2 |
| 2-5 | T50 | 1-4 |
| 5-6 | T100 | 2-5 |
| 6-0 | 200+ | 6-0 |
| 1-2 | Conference |
2-4 |
| 19 | SOS | 61 |
| None | 100+ Losses |
None |
Lots of similarities here. Lots.
The record is basically the same. Ditto RPI, 200+ record, conference record and absence of bad losses. Team B has a road edge, but team A has played 11 of its 18 games against top-100 opponents. Team B only has seven.
The really notable differences are the extra top-100 wins and the significant strength of schedule edge for Team A.
So if a decision needed to be made today between these two teams, the NCAA tournament selection committee would probably have to choose Team A.
But it would be close.
And so who are they? Scroll down. ...
