- He credits team discipline, defensive adjustments, and avoiding hero-ball for overturning earlier losses to Miami.
Avoid Social Media After Big Wins

- He specifically told his team: "Don't be on social media all night" after beating Miami of Ohio.

- Frank Martin explains mid-majors start with low preseason metric scores (e.g., 197) which block upward movement in NET and strength-of-schedule rankings.
- He says power leagues keep high baseline numbers, so mid-majors rarely climb without playing those teams, who avoid scheduling them.
