There's probably 60+ teams in that quad, due to the nature of having 350 DI teams. I would argue that it's hard to make the tournament without being in that quadrant. What's weird is that I believe 12 of the top 13 teams made the sweet 16, 2 were in the top 25-30 and the only real outlier was NC State.It makes sense that teams good in both are likely to make deeper runs. But I'm curious, from anyone who knows more in-depth, is it unusual that ALL Sweet 16 participants are in the upper-right quad?

Bilas ranking of remaining 16 teams:
1. UConn
2. Purdue
3. Houston
4. Arizona
5. North Carolina
6. Illinois - no one is playing better offense right now.
7. Tennessee
8. Duke
9. Iowa State - Got a good draw to Sweet 16.
10. Marquette
11. Gonzaga
12. Creighton
13. Alabama - Great offense, bad defense.
14. Clemson
15. NC State
16. SDSU
Illinois played two dog **** teams to get to Sweet 16 and he's bagging on ISU. Then he dings Alabama for D, while forgetting Illinois is the same team. I hope TJ and company are reading the clippings prior to this game. If so, I think it's going to get Big12 vs. KSU, Baylor, Houston ugly.

Sounds correct, from what I gather (other sources and "memory.")I saw an article that this year is the 2nd “chalkiest” year of the last 20. All the 1 and 2 still in. Only one 11 as Cinderella
Agreed 100%. We are just the team to do it.Was reading this espn article and I’m now struggling to keep Dan Hurley’s bull **** straight. Is the committee completely against them and making it as hard as possible like he said a few days ago? Or do they have it easier because they are “bulletproof” and earned de facto home court for the second weekend? God lord I’d love the opportunity to shut that pompous a-hole up.
Hurley: UConn 'manifested' path via 'Storrs North'
UConn coach Dan Hurley said Wednesday that the Huskies have "manifested" what has amounted to home-court advantage in the NCAA tournament since April, when they won the national championship.www.espn.com
Yeah, I’ve tired of him quickly…Was reading this espn article and I’m now struggling to keep Dan Hurley’s bull **** straight.

He's an arrogant prick.Yeah, I’ve tired of him quickly…
I guess the silver lining to having him talk so much, is he provides a lot of quotes that will look great on our locker room walls.He's an arrogant prick.
UNLV's Cinderella run through the NIT ends with a 23 point loss to Seton Hall. UNLVRebelGrl hardest hit.
As a fellow stats nerd, I noticed KU-Gonzaga didn't have an under 4 media timeout until 1 second left in the first half.Not really on topic, but watching the replay of the Big 12 championship game and an odd stat that I tend to notice: the game winning basket over Houston came at the 14:31 mark of the second half on a basket by Hason Ward (which was an and one).
