The latest AP poll just dropped, and the Alabama Crimson Tide are all the way up to No. 4, behind one-loss Kansas, Purdue, and Houston, who the Tide defeated on the road back in December.
How Houston is No. 1 is simply baffling though. The Cougars have nine Quad Four wins. No other team in the Top 25 has even played nine Q4 games. Only one other team in the Top 200 has played nine Q4 games — those brave LSU Tigers.
We’ll have more data analyses when we do Points in the Paint later this week, but that is simply inexcusable.
