Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4997270, member: 405"] Look, if you want to cherry pick stats, I'm not going to disagree. I think we deserve more respect in these computer models. Margin of victory and rebounding rates are not a fair or reasonable basis to pick tournament teams. Our steals and blocked shots directly offset any perceived lack of defensive rebounding, because all three of them result in possession. I haven't seen any discussion of that, yet, in these articles and posts about NET. But it's fundamentally dishonest of you to lump different categories to make a point. It's not representative. It's not statistically accurate. If you want to argue statistics and are going to talk about Quad victories or losses, then compare apples to apples, not apples-plus-bananas to apples-plus-bananas, when really only the apples (Q1) are the thing that matters most. Because bananas (Q2) don't mean shtt in this conversation. [/QUOTE]
