What a great analysis! As someone who has dug into similar aspects of CBB, I appreciate work like this. Looking forward to a deeper dive on this in future seasons to use the kill shot as a better predictor of tourney success.

UCLA also has an adjusted kill shot per game above .65 and adjusted kill shot conceded per game at or below .30 according to the table above

Good catch. I just went and checked, and the way I chose to filter this, the Kill Shots conceded per game is <= 0.3, and UCLA's is 0.3001661. Kansas says 0.3 on the table, but it's a round up scenario, so they were just slightly below 0.3000. Naturally, this implies that there's a 0% chance UCLA wins the title because they just fractionally missed the cutoff.

Would be interesting to see the last table, but with all teams from past x tournaments included (not just final four teams). How do the top killshot teams tend to fare?
