Mike Slive Final Quotations

I was very impressed with the culture of the committee. You leave your hat at the door, so to speak, and do the best that you can with the material that's in front of you. There's a lot of information and the data is used in a way that's very efficient in terms of comparing teams. Then you have subjective impressions and the final analysis.

The fascinating thing about the committee is that in the final analysis, you have to exercise your own subjective judgment. It's so easy to just latch onto numbers. You could have watched a team play whose numbers really don't truly illustrate how good it is.

When we pick the final few teams, you couldn't slide a piece of paper between them.

I can't think that far ahead. Just having two of our teams at the Final Four is quite an accomplishment in itself.
