Since 2005 (1st appearance with WVU), John Beilein's tournament losses have been by an average of 5 points
Only one of those losses was by double digits, a 10-point loss to Oklahoma. It would be interesting to know the average margin of victory in the tournament without including the 1-16 and 2-15 type games. For comparison, Izzo's average margin of defeat in the same span is 12.1 with 9 of them by double digits. I didn't get super in-depth with other teams, but Duke and KU have each had 4+ double digit losses.
I now expect to get absolutely slaughtered by Sister Jean on Saturday
