BYU Basketball Resume Review, Bracketology Talk after Iowa State Win

BYU picked up a much needed signature win Saturday when they beat Iowa State in Provo. The committee released its top 16 seeds earlier in the day, and Iowa State was the #4 overall seed and the final 1 seed.

Three weeks out from Selection Sunday, BYU’s resume has mostly taken shape with some opportunities ahead to still beef it up.

Resume Numbers

BYU Record: 20-7

NET: 20

KenPom: 21

WAB (wins above bubble): 19th — The committee made a point over the weekend that this is an important metric in the selection process. It measures the number of wins a team has against its schedule relative to how an average bubble team would fare against that same schedule.

NET SOS: 24

NET OOC SOS: 50

Quad 1: 6-6

Quad 2: 6-1

Non-Conference Schedule. BYU’s non-conference slate dragged it down last year. BYU had zero notable wins and its non-conference SOS was sub 300. That is completely flipped this year.

BYU’s four Q1 wins Villanova, Wisconsin, Miami, and Clemson all currently project as tournament teams.

Quad 1 and 2 Wins. This is a bit relative. If you’re talking about a top 3 or 4 seed, then BYU hasn’t done enough to merit that. But BYU is one of 15 teams with 12 or more combined Q1/Q2 wins. BYU only has one Quad 1A win (more on that later) but five of its six Q1 wins are against projected tournament teams. Iowa State is on the one or two line and is the signature win.

No bad losses. Oklahoma State has lost five in a row since their win over BYU and has fell from a Quad 1 to a Quad 2 loss. While not ideal, that is BYU’s only loss outside of Quad 1. BYU has zero Q3/Q4 losses, which are in the bad loss category.
