There are clearly intangibles that analytics can't capture. There is no measure for leadership, cohesion, and camaraderie. The analytics try to explain it away in this model with a generic term "luck", but there is nothing lucky about the way USF has been playing and winning. I have a system with my own analytical rating and USF is #1 in the nation in the Youngblood Leadership Index.
I'm not caught up in the numbers with this team because we can see what has been happening on the court. I just hope we win out, get a 10 seed, and shock the world on our way to the Elite 8!
