11-5 is still 3rd in the MAC. If they were the best team they would have gone 13-3, but that was someone else. They played one of the weakest OOC schedules of any team in the MAC. With only one "major" team in Louisville, a game they lost. So their overall record means nothing to me.
You can't say just because they won in the postseason it makes them a better program. Look at who they beat! Georgetown, Michigan, USF, and potentially Creighton. It's not like they beat Patrick Ewing lead Gtown, or the Fab-5 Michigan teams. Just beating a "name" school doesn't mean they beat a good school.
