Wow! If WSU had stayed in MVC, Loyola wouldn’t even be in tourney.

It's a good example of why judging a coach by NCAA tournament success is dumb.

Conference finish over several years is the best way IMO

i would think you should account for program quality.

to judge a coach off a few games in march is really unfair, there's so much luck involved. but people value heroes and drama

Absolutely. In the Big 12, a good conference finish should lead to a good seed which will lead to NCAA wins. oscar under performed his seed grossly once and the rest of the time he's basically played to his seed. 1 coin flip seed win, 1 coin flip seed loss, 1 poor seed loss. The key is to get a 6 seed or better (7-10, 8-9 are coin flip games IMO).

im not sure how to look at average finish since frank had some years of non round robin but its 3.4 (frank) vs 5 (oscar) i think

Sounds right. oscar has done a great job turning around the mess he inherited from Coach Weber after 2015 to get to this point though.

So is that to say Frank finished 3.4/12 as compared to oscar at 5/10?

conference record, not whether you finished 2nd or 7th.

i just realized kstate will play kentucky next week, so i'll probably be rooting for kstate.

i'm divided on whether you should account for conference quality. i think there's a valid argument either way.

Guys which team in the field had the coolest chant or fight song? UH has a song called womp womp and it looks like they have a lot of fun with it. I believe the correct lyric is "talkin' 'bout the cougars!" But the surly students will sometimes say "the mother effin cougars!" And then I imagine they high five and crush domestic light lagers

those sons of bitches messed with texas tech, and now they're going to have to live with the consequences.

the refs forgot that you can give the ball to florida all you want, but you're still dependent on them hitting a shot.

NCAA tournament seed is also a decent way to evaluate
