and what does that have to do with zona consistently pulling out very close wins?

you can win by 99-97 or 38-36 but a 2 pt win is still a 2 pt win........

Okay? And scoring margin is still scoring margin.

you really wanna argue that the acc is weaker than the pac :laugh3:

The pac12 is superior in every facet. The ACC is D-2 quality.

then theres the whole margin of victory issue. margin of victory while it is something to factor when judging teams, putting it in a formula is stupid because every coach has a different style. some coaches opt to let their players eat clock, others play hard to the very end. fouling players at the end of the game inflates what the margin of victory in basketball. margin of victory is such a stupid concept to use in a formula that not even the BCS uses it.

:laugh3:

Evidently it's not okay to use it in a formula, but it is okay, to just arbitrarily blurt out meaningless stats with absolutely zero context.

John just skews everything in his team's favor and expects everyone to go along with it. Hilarious :der:

scoring margin is fine but at the end of the day it is just one stat

Still waiting to hear how Syracuse's 70th ranked SOS is much harder than Arizona's 8th.

Well you see... when you're talking about close games, it's really a question of how many points you almost lost by. When you're talking about margin of victory, that's all about how many points you beat the other team by. They're clearly two totally different things.
