John Scheyer Officially Added To The Fading Coaches List

So in the past and this season as well I have spoken out those coaches who tend to underachieve in the NCAA Tournament on a yearly basis and I strongly fade them as much as I can. Such luminaries on this "tread carefully" lost include Rick Barnes of Tennessee, Jamie Dixon of TCU, Matt Painter of Purdue (although he has been better of late), and Shaka Smart after his VCU breakthrough. Tommy Lloyd was a prominent member as well but getting to the Final Four alleviates some of the attention. With all that said, Duke's John Scheyer is now stamped on this list after back-to-back gag jobs against Houston and UCONN the last two seasons. With the UCONN game going down as an all-time choke job, we simply can't trust him going forward. Making matters worse is how BOTH Cooper Flagg and Kon Kneuppel are dominating as NBA rookies which makes it even more insane how he didn't get last year's team to the title game.

Stunning!

There are no words for that one. UCONN joins Illinois, Michigan, and Arizona in a Final Four that sees two 1's, a two, and a three and hopefully you had at least three of those. While I was all in on Michigan and Arizona as two of the by far strongest teams based on metrics, I faded Illinois due to their losing their first conference tournament game where now just 6 of the last 105 such teams reached the Final Four. So be it! As far as UCONN is concerned, they were easy to overlook in that brutal East Region but they did hit 11 of the 13 metrics I use for the Final Four qualification which was pretty solid. They only missed on having a losing ATS record and not winning either a regular season or conference tournament crown. Those two are probably the weakest of the 13 metrics so UCONN should have been right there with St. John's as an alternative to Duke. I should have given them more attention but they had the metrics to show they were legit.

Guilty Of Overrating Arkansas

So I am always transparent on the misses and this season it was Arkansas in the tournament. Now I was bullish on them as a Final Four option as they actually met all 13 trends/system for a team to reach that round along with Arizona and Duke. Given how poor Purdue's defense was, Arkansas was my fallback to prevent having Arizona on all my brackets coming out of the West. While they looked great getting to the Sweet 16, their lack of defense got exposed against Arizona. Where I did err was not paying enough attention to Arkansas ALMOST being an extreme team in going into the tournament with an adjusted offense of 6 but an adjusted defense of 48. This was an oversight for sure.
