Who's better at basketball, the guy who beat 12 4th graders by one or the guy who lost to 12 NBA players by one?

But why would you assume that the 12-0 teams are actually any good when you’re arguing that the 0-12 team is better?

mvtoro

3:10pm

No, there's not enough info. So that's why you look at other information, such as SOS, SOR, predictive metrics, etc.

RealTaysomHill

3:15pm

That’s what I said. Not enough info to determine either way. That’s why you leave assumptions about who is “better” to
