Want to keep emphasizing this point re: strength of schedule. Team A plays 1, 2, and 300 (avg is 101). Team B plays 99, 100, 101 (avg is 100).

Mathematically, the single most important game on a D-I MBB team’s schedule is the quarterfinal of an 8-team MTE tournament.
Not only does a team win or lose that game, but the result dictates the quality of opponents in the next two, a whopping 20-27% of a non-conf schedule.
