Butler were like the little aliens from Space Jam, except instead of enslaving Bugs Bunny their objective was to make basketball the most unwatchable product ever.

Butler was 3 for 31 on two-point shots. That is historically bad and extremely likely to never happen again.

Who the hell voted Ohio St #1 in the final rankings?
Northern Arizona coach Mike Adras.

 

Now I want to see his whole ballot. It would appear that he didn't even put UConn second because they got 773 points which means he put them third. I wonder if he put Kansas second.

The article I linked to says that he did vote Kansas second.

A tournament like this creates some strange looking final rankings. They represent the results of the tournament more than the ability level of the teams (which I think they should since that's kind of the point of the tournament.).

 

It's just weird to see a team like Butler at 2 and VCU at 6 when they really aren't the 2nd or 6th best teams by any means.

Why even have a poll after the season? Seems irrelevant to me.

 

it's irrelevant during the season too

 

also, the preseason

Unfortunately, tournament results have little bearing on how good a team really is overall. The guy that voted UConn third was probably the most correct of any of them.

Pretty much, it's still fun though.

Why would you put UCon first?

 

Why would they have a tournament to end the season?

To determine the champion. It's right there in the name of the championship game.

 

Do I really need to ask you if the 2006 Cardinals were the best team of 2006?

Just for comparison's sake...

 

UConn finished 10th in Pomeroy, Butler 41st and VCU 52nd. Kentucky was the highest finisher of the Final Four teams at sixth.

 

Sagarin had UConn 4th, Kentucky 5th, Butler 22nd and VCU 37th.

 

Pomeroy had OSU, Duke and Kansas 1-2-3 while Sagarin swapped Kansas and Duke.
