Ohhh boy. What does this adjusted metric say about us (the blue line)?

Seems to echo what many of us were saying most of the season in this thread.

It's a fun, legitimate Top25 team that's far exceeded expectations in a year we replaced the coaching staff and most of the roster.

However, some of the NET #5 type efficiency rankings were a bit of fool's gold based on absolutely pummeling below average teams and putting on a offensive clinic against most pretty good teams we played too.


However, the tourney's a crapshoot. Not sure this team has shown the ability to knock off 3 straight great teams but could certainly get a couple of favorable match-ups and make a little run.

I hate to say it all comes down to 3-pt shooting but it sort of does with this team. Defense is decent enough to beat anybody if we can shoot 35% from behind the arc. Not good enough to beat other good teams if they hold us to 20-25%.
