It is hard to recognize sarcasm sometimes. Maybe I'm being generous thinking you think what you said is cute. Princeton has the highest NET rating of the Ivy League MBB teams and is well below Stanford. Stanford has a respectable 3-3 record against Quad 1 while Princeton doesn't have any Quad 1 games.
Only 15 teams have played at least 6 quad 1 games and have at least an even record (plus 2 more at 3-2). Only one other team has only 5 games that are Quad 3 or 4 (and Stanford has won all those). After looking at their quad results of 3-3, 2-3, 0-0, 5-0, I can't understand why their NET ranking is so low. Wash. State is 30+ spots above them at 0-2, 1-2, 4-2, 5-1. Weird.
Maybe Haase's main problem is that he doesn't schedule enough weak opponents for the benefit of the W-L record to please some fans.

Cardinal men's basketball is already Ivy-League level -- at best.
