PiRate Ratings Bracketnomics — Sweet 16 Edition
The opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament was not so wonderful for the PiRate Ratings Bracketnomic System, as two of the projected Final Four fell out. Of the 16 teams we projected, 9 are still alive, including Connecticut, who we selected as an alternative pick for the title if you were afraid to go with a Big Ten team.
We didn’t listen to our own advice. The numbers showed Purdue to be the top team according to the Bracketnomics, but we spent multiple paragraphs telling you why Purdue’s style of play, as well as any team out of the past that was coached by a Gene Keady disciple, was not the way to win the NCAA Tournament. We thought it was time for that trend to end, but in the end, Purdue couldn’t handle the pressure defense of #16-seed Fairleigh Dickinson, and the Boilermakers became the second #1 seed to lose to a #16 seed.
There are still multiple teams remaining in the Sweet 16 that we stated had most of the resume of a national champion. Maybe you took our stats and made your own picks, like many have in the past. We know that many of you are better at interpreting this data than we are.
Many bracket pools allow people to redo their brackets each weekend, so here are the sweet 16 matchups with the bracketnomics data. If you don’t know what each item is, refer back to the Bracketnomics Primer of Monday, March, 13.

Everything points Alabama’s way in this game, as the Aztecs will have difficulty matching the Tide point-for-point if the first half possessions for both teams tops 35. SDSU’s only chance in this game is to force Alabama into making double digit turnovers in the first 25-28 minutes of the game.

Princeton has a small chance to win this game. They can dominate the glass and the inside game. If they can hold Creighton’s 3-point shooting under its normal rate and get 8 or more second chance points, they can make this game close. Creighton has about an 80-85% chance of winning, not a sure thing, but almost.

This game is all over the map. FAU has the superior offense, but Tennessee has the #1 defense. Tennessee’s schedule is considerably stronger, so the Vols make it through the most important factors as the favorite.
Tennessee is still missing one of their top players in Zakai Zeigler, and the Vols are a hot and cold team. When they are hot, they can beat anybody in the nation, like they did against Alabama. When, they are cold, they lose by double digits to Colorado.
FAU is a consistently good team, but the Owls face an uphill battle in this game. The Vols should advance to the Elite 8.

This is an interesting match up. Neither team has a definite advantage. In a typical year, Michigan State would have a sizable rebounding advantage, but this year has been quite different. Kansas State has the inside advantage in this one.
Michigan State won’t force turnovers on the Wildcats, and when KSU has lost this year, the other team usually forces more turnovers on the Wildcats than they normally commit. We’re going with Kansas State in a close one.

IF? If Marcus Sasser is healthy enough to play near 100% effectively for 32 minutes, Houston is the clear choice to make it to the Elite 8. A groin injury is a tricky thing, because one wrong move can put the injured player out of commission for a long time. A healthy Sasser makes this game a double-digit win possibility for the Cougars, who would then be one win away from getting a chance to play in the Final Four at home.
If Sasser is unable to play, Miami has the advantage. If Sasser plays at less than full strength, then this game becomes a tossup.

This is another interesting game. Xavier’s offense is national title-worthy, while their defense is right on the edge of eliminating them. Texas’s offense is just barely outside what most national champions have been rated on the attack side, but their defense is good enough.
The most glaring remaining stat is in coaching experience. Sean Miller has taken 11 past teams to the NCAA Tournament with 4 Elite 8’s and 4 (now 5) Sweet 16’s. Rodney Terry took Fresno St. to one NCAA Tournament and lost in the first game.
We’ve changed our opinion on this game twice. At the time of this writing, we’re going with Texas, but only because Xavier cannot exploit the Longhorns’ liability of handling the ball.

UConn still has the best resume for a potential national champion, but we’re leery of this game. Throwing out all the criteria you see above, there is one big obvious criterion that cannot be overlooked, even if it isn’t part of this system.
Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman is the best college basketball coach in Division I and second best overall in college (Ben McCollum at Northwest Missouri State is the John Wooden of the 21st Century). Muss has taken two consecutive Razorback teams to the Elite 8, even though neither team had Elite 8 talent. This team is missing a key player and played for much of the season missing two key players. But, the more important piece, Nick Smith, is back.
The criteria favors Connecticut by a sizable margin, but give Arkansas a little bonus for Muss on the bench. It means UConn is favored by a little rather than a lot.

This is the best of the Sweet 16 games. You have the top offense in the nation going against the #2 defense in the nation. The schedule strengths are close to even, not really enough to tip the scale much.
Gonzaga has the edge in outside shooting, but UCLA has an equal edge on the inside, but not by dominating with a post player, but by having tall guards like Jaime Jacquez and Amari Bailey. Of note, UCLA is quite banged up coming into this game. In addition to not having the services of star swing man Jaylen Clark, big man Adem Bona and sharpshooting guard David Singleton are nursing injuries. A team like UCLA can beat Northwestern with a depleted roster, but asking it to beat Gonzaga is too much. We believe that Bona and Singleton will play and not be 100% effective. All it takes is for Drew Timme to have his typical output, and Gonzaga is in the Elite 8.

Who Looks Great So Far?
One team has an offensive rating in the top 10 and defensive rating in the top 25 with a schedule strength of 57 or better. That team is Connecticut. Purdue misses this by one defensive spot. Other teams that come close to fitting this criteria are Arizona and Marquette.
Houston, Alabama, and Texas are in the mix here as defensive teams that are close enough in the offensive range to contend. Houston just misses the minimum for schedule strength.

R+T measures “spurtability,” the ability for a team to go on a wining scoring run. Once again, Connecticut and Purdue shine in these important metrics, while Houston has an incredible spurtability score.
Also important is to note which teams have poor R+T Ratings, the type that can lead to early upset losses. Among those teams are Missouri, USC, Penn St., and Arizona St.
3-point FG%
Getting to the secondary ratings, these are still quite important and very usable when comparing teams head to head. Here are the 3-point shooting percentages for the 68 teams in the Field.
| Team | 3PT% |
| Colgate | 40.8 |
| Michigan St. | 39.5 |
| Xavier | 39.5 |
| Utah St. | 39.3 |

| Auburn | 31.4 |
| Illinois | 30.9 |
| TCU | 30.6 |
| Texas Southern | 28.4 |
| Mississippi St. | 26.6 |
The most glaring part of this is the absence of the top contenders to this point in this category. Against the top defenses, teams are going to need to rely on the three-point shot. Arizona moves up in the contender section with the top percentage among teams appearing near the top in the previous criteria. Purdue is weak here, and the Boilermakers might be vulnerable to a team that can force Purdue to take more perimeter shots than they want to take. Connecticut isn’t great here, but the Huskies don’t have a real liability in this department.

Offensive Rebound Rate is a part of R+T Rate, so we don’t want to count this twice. This is better used to compare two teams that are evenly matched. Note that three of the contenders are rated #1, #3, and #5 in this metric.

The contenders all fare well in this category, but there are some teams at the bottom of this metric that might be a bit too generous inside the paint. Baylor, Iowa, Miami, Missouri, and Gonzaga have issues here, which could spell trouble against teams that can pound the ball inside.

Don’t expect a team that hasn’t won 6 or more games in a row this year to do so in March Madness. Most past national champions had 8 or more game winning streaks, and many had 10 or more game winning streaks.

3 or more Upperclassmen in Starting 5
Almost every team in the Dance has 3 or more seniors and juniors starting, due to Covid, and the NCAA granting an additional year of eligibility. Only the following teams fail to meet this criteria.
| Alabama |
| Connecticut |
| Creighton |
| Duke |
| Florida Atlantic |
| Miami (Fla) |
| USC |
| VCU |
Note that two of the key contenders, Alabama and Connecticut do not meet this criteria. Kentucky won the 2012 National Championship without an upperclassmen starting.
Two Front Court Starters Combine for 20 PPG/12 RPG
A team with two starters combining for 20 & 12 is a team that tends to score the most consistently in the NCAA Tournament. These players can get a lot of garbage points, which in the Big Dance, is vital.

Who Has “The Look?”
Unlike most years, the 2023 edition of March Madness has NO single team that stands out above all others. A half-dozen teams possess many of the criteria that past national champions had, but none have across-the-board positive resumes.
If you have read prior publications here, you know how leery I am of teams coached by Gene Keady proteges, and Big Ten teams in general. The style of play in that league, especially with Purdue, has not been the way to win national titles for many years. Michigan State was the last Big Ten team to win the championship 23 years ago, the only time a Big Ten team has cut down the nets in the last 31 tournaments. It will eventually happen again one year, but picking the Boilermakers to win six games with little ability to force turnovers, get cheap fast break points, and consistently hit the 3-point shot makes it hard for us to see Purdue going all the way.
Connecticut has a lot in its favor, namely the top three most important criteria. But, the Huskies did not win their regular season or conference tournament championship. Marquette has issues with their R+T Ratings. Alabama is young and inexperienced, but the Crimson Tide fits almost all other criteria. However, their offensive efficiency is a tad lower than what a typical national champion has.
Let’s go through the bracket and see how the individual matchups look. That will find us our choice this year. You may see different results based on the criteria above, so don’t take our picks as Gospel. We tend to choose very few upsets until the later rounds when the criteria shows the lower seed to be superior. We will list the teams we feel have a chance to upset favored teams in the early rounds.
Round of 64
| Winner | Loser |
| Alabama | Play-In Winner (TAMCC) |
| West Virginia | Maryland |
| San Diego St. | Charleston |
| Virginia | Furman (Upset possible) |
| Creighton | North Carolina St. |
| Baylor | UCSB |

| Marquette | Vermont |
| Houston | Northern Kentucky |
| Auburn | Iowa |
| Miami (Fla) | Drake (exciting game!) |
| Indiana | Kent St. |
| Play-in Winner (Pittsburgh) | Iowa St. (Upset) |
| Xavier | Kennesaw St. |
| Texas A&M | Penn St. (neg. R+T) |
| Texas | Colgate |

| Arkansas | Illinois |
| Saint Mary’s | VCU |
| Connecticut | Iona |
| TCU | Play-in Winner (Nevada) |
| Gonzaga | Grand Canyon |
| Boise St. | Northwestern |
| UCLA | UNC Asheville |
Round of 32
| Winner | Loser |
| Alabama | West Virginia (close game?) |
| San Diego St. | Virginia |
| Baylor | Creighton (close game) |
| Arizona | Utah St. |
| Purdue | Memphis |
| Duke | Tennessee |
| Kentucky | Kansas St. |
| Marquette | Michigan St. (close game) |
| Houston | Auburn |
| Miami (Fla) | Indiana (close game) |
| Xavier | Pittsburgh |
| Texas | Texas A&M (close game) |
| Kansas | Arkansas |
| Connecticut | Saint Mary’s |
| Gonzaga | TCU (close game) |
| UCLA | Boise St. |
Sweet 16
| Winner | Loser |
| Alabama | San Diego St. |
| Arizona | Baylor |
| Purdue | Duke (could be brutal) |
| Marquette | Kentucky |
| Miami (Fla) | Houston (Sasser injury???) |
| Texas | Xavier |
| Connecticut | Kansas (close Game) |
| Gonzaga | UCLA (close game) |
If Marcus Sasser is healthy, Houston would be favored, but my information tells me he will not be healthy by this time. UCLA also has multiple injury issues.
Elite 8
| Winner | Loser |
| Arizona | Alabama |
| Purdue | Marquette (R+T favors PU) |
| Texas | Miami (Fla) |
| Connecticut | Gonzaga |
Arizona gets the nod over Alabama due to having more experienced, game-tested veterans, while Alabama is led by underclassmen. Marquette lacks the R+T rating to win a close game, and we can’t see them blowing Purdue off the floor, which is how they would have to win this game. Texas and Miami are evenly matched, but the Longhorns have just a little better criteria. Gonzaga’s defense isn’t as strong as in recent years, even though their offense is the best in the nation. UConn has much better defensive criteria and almost as good offensive criteria.
Final Four
| Winner | Loser |
| Purdue | Arizona |
| Connecticut | Texas |
It comes down to the two teams that best fit the most important part of the criteria. Neither the Boilermakers nor the Huskies have a typical national champions resume, but these two teams best fit that criteria.
Purdue’s main Achilles’ Heel is their inability to force turnovers against opponents. They have to buck a long trend and win half-court possession games, something that has not worked in the Final Four since Bobby Knight led Indiana to two championships in the 1980s. However, Purdue’s R+T ratings combined with their efficiency and schedule strength overrule the other liabilities. We don’t personally have total faith in the Boilermakers breaking the 43-year curse of Keadyball, where PU can win playing a halfcourt game against regular season oppoents, but just like Moneyball hasn’t worked for the Oakland A’s in the playoffs, Keadyball does not work in the NCAA Tournament. If it is every going to work, it’s going to work this year, when the Boilermakers have the most dominant player in the nation. Note that PU had the most dominant player in the nation in 1994 in Glenn Robinson, and the Boilermakers were ousted in the Elite 8 (the only Elite 8 appearance since Lee Rose lead PU to the 1980 Final Four).
Connecticut has better metrics than Texas, but the Huskies won neither the Big East regular season or conference tournament championship. National champions tend to win at least one if not both. The last team to cut the nets without cutting them in the regular season was (wait for it)–Connecticut in 2014.
National Championship Game
| Winner | Loser |
| Purdue | Connecticut |
Can the curse be broken? If you saw the final minutes of the Big Ten Championship Game on Sunday, you saw a Boilermaker team that wilted against Penn State’s full court press defense. The Nittany Lions don’t have a fantastic pressure defensive team, so a team that can play a havoc style of defense might be able to take Purdue out of its game plan. Additionally, Purdue has been weaker than average from behind the 3-point line. They keep winning because they have the top player in the nation in the paint. A dominant big man has not led his team to the national championship in many years, and there are many examples of said post player’s team losing to a quicker, smaller team.
There are two parts to this equation. There has to be a team good enough to exploit the power team’s liabilities. What we see here is an ideal draw for the Boilermakers. The teams that can best employ the tactics needed to stop Purdue are mostly on the other side of the bracket, and the few in their bracket that might be able to stop PU are likely to be eliminated before their line on the bracket coincided with Purdue’s line on the bracket. Additionally, you can know for sure that Purdue has spent extra time in practice preparing for opposing teams to try to pressure Purdue’s guards. Braden Smith and Mason Gillis will need to step up and play their best ball of the season, and that is not a given, but we cannot see Purdue succumbing to the press like they did against Penn State. If teams don’t practice pressing constantly, they aren’t going to be that good using the defense, and if Purdue can break some presses for easy baskets, that ploy will be discontinued.
Connecticut has something going in their favor, but it is quirky. Twice before, the Huskies won the national championship in outlier style. In point of fact, their two national championships in 2011 and 2014 are the only outliers to the PiRate Ratings Criteria in the 21st Century. They are similar in style to Purdue. Don’t count on the Huskies to force opposing offenses out of their normal style of play with pressure defense.
So, there you have it. We are going against our personal biases and relying on the metrics, and the metrics say that Purdue is going to end their curse. Maybe it is 2004 again, but will any Purdue player appear with a bloody sock? The Boston Red Sox broke their 86-year curse by dominating in the new 21st Century metrics. Purdue has the 7th best offensive efficiency and 26th best defensive efficiency ratings with a schedule strength almost nine points above average.
Connecticut has the 6th best offensive efficiency and the 18th best defensive efficiency with a schedule strength that is eight points above average. You can’t go wrong picking the Huskies to go all the way, and if you have two choices to fill out a bracket, you might consider splitting your vote with Purdue and Connecticut. But, officially, our choice to cut the nets is Purdue.
