But if you're going to argue that the metrics prove XU is a weaker team than their resume, I would bet heavily against that.

So what is the root cause of Xavier's "luck" factor. Is it purely luck? Or is it more likely apathy?

So you're arguing that X is a #1 seed caliber team due to their resume by segmenting their games but you're using selective segmentation. If you take that a step further you've played three games against second weekend type teams and gone 1-2 with two of those games being at home. The win over us was over three months ago and the two losses have been convincing. I think Xavier is a second weekend caliber team but a #1 seed and national title contender probably doesn't need to selectively segment their resume to make that case.
