Villanova Basketball’s Quad Goals: Evaluating Nova’s NCAA Tournament Resume (Dec. 19)

It’s time for another installment of Villanova’s Quad Goals, our ongoing series in which we track the Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament Resume. If you need a refresher on the NET ratings or the Quad System, check out our previous article for additional details.

The bad news: Villanova lost to Penn and Kansas last week. The good news: Kansas is Top 5 in the NET and Penn ranks 69th. In other words, Villanova’s four losses are all Quad 1. That’s right, even Penn.

As we’ve learned, there really isn’t a penalty for losing Quad 1 games when it comes to the selection committee.
