Your “guess” is wrong. 
I’m saying that logically, and again, for better or worse, CBB is no longer about proving “who the best teams are” based  on the regular season. That makes OOC and to some degree inner conference play largely irrelevant to the final discussion.
There’s so much weight placed on the postseason that theoretically a St Peters can go winless during the season, win their conference tournament, and still make a S16 or even F4. Not likely and I’d hate to look up the odds, but it theoretically could happen.
Cbb is not about how good you look during the regular season, and especially during OOC- see; B1G mbb as an example. It’s irrelevant to the final discussion and its mostly blather to keep the pundits and fanbases engaged until the “real” season starts. 
Yes, you need a reg season to get teams primed for March Madness, but that’s about it. After that, it’s all bets are off and everyone is on the same plane. That’s why we love it. JMHO
