Four Factors to NCAA Tournament Success
As every basketball junkie knows, KenPom.com is a treasure trove of college basketball information. I pored through the data to find four key factors that propelled recent Final Four teams to success, and teams that excel at those factors this year:
North Carolina Wins ACC Title: Saturday's Quick Hitters

BYU Avoids a Crippling Defeat: Friday's Quick Hitters
1. BYU survived a pesky San Diego squad to advance to the WCC semifinals.
A win over San Diego wasn't going to do a whole lot for BYU from a resume standpoint.

Horizon League First Round: Predictions & Poll
The higher seed hosts Horizon League first
round games. The top 2 seeds (Cleveland St & Valpo) have a bye.
#8 Wright State (13-18, 7-11) at #5 Butler (18-13, 11-7)
Horizon League First Round Preview

While there are many who believe that the Bulldogs could once again make a run as they did last season, it's important to point out that last year's NCAA finalists found a way to earn a bye to the semifinals in the conference tournament. No such luck this time around as the Bulldogs host the Raiders, a team they swept during the regular season.
