Blast from the past indeed...didn't know he was still alive. Led St. John's in their heyday.

Playing devil's advocate. UNC was ranked 20 spots ahead of West Virginia by Pomeroy. And WVA kinda sucked post-January 1st. And they got bounced 1st round of the Big12 tourney by a god-awful Colorado team. People saying a win over Gonzaga before Thanksgiving should've punched their ticket are overstating their case.

UNC
-The Quad1 loss numbers are bad, but honestly of those 12: Nine were vs (AP) #1 Duke, #1 Duke, #1 Duke; #3 Florida; #4 Auburn; #7 Alabama, #8 Michigan State, #10 Louisville, and #12 Clemson. All of those games are hard to hold against them, especially since they scheduled 4 of them non-con.
So, that leaves 3 quad 1 losses to really evaluate:
Kansas
Wake
Pitt
————-
The 22-13 Tar Heels are ranked:
#33 KenPom
#36 NET (which is effectively the Quad ranking)
#25 BPI
—————
If instead of scheduling Alabama, Auburn, Mich State, Florida, and Kansas they had scheduled SoMiss, Central Michigan, Kennesaw State, App State, and South Alabama, they would be 27-8 and probably a 5 or 6-seed instead of the 11-seed they are.
You really can hurt yourself on both sides of the scheduling pendulum swing. Anyway, I don’t hate them being included. What I hate is #311 Saint Francis (16-17) getting in or #273 Alabama State (19-16) getting in (etc).Last edited by AlabamAlum; March 18, 2025, 06:13 PM."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
