Flip side is Muss could've easily gotten bounced early a couple times too. Most of the time you need some luck to make a tournament run. And those 13/14/ even 15 seeds can be tough.

The way the scoring works, adding guys below your team average, especially after the first several commits, helps your score very little. Playing around the the class calculator, if we added Johnell Davis and Brandon Garrison, that brings us from 68.63 to 69.27 (247 rankings only) Then adding ...
