Only comment is on this part:

Illinois, #5 in KenPom, getting a 4-seed. Wouldn't happen today (the Committee actually pays attention to metrics now), but back then, somehow, "I think Xavier should be ahead of Illinois".

Last year Houston was #5 in KenPom and got a 5 seed, so it seems like this kind of thing absolutely could still happen today, even if it's less likely.
