In response to Silver Maple
One could make the argument, but I think whether it is true is quantifiable. I think there is a pretty direct correlation between how much teams win by and how much they win. But Mrjames probably knows for sure.
We had this debate years ago regarding the Rosen Penn team. Even if the correlation is direct overall, there will be outliers. The question is whether those outliers are just small sample variations, or whether those individual teams really are better at winning close games.
While this is all interesting (at least to me), ultimately TheLine is right — in the end, this Penn team’s success or failure will be determined by their record and whether they win the league (either regular season or tournament). Won’t matter whether they were lucky or unlucky. 6-0 is 6-0,
