Still have no idea how they beat UCONN. Would've been a lot more fun having a W over UCONN right now

Nah, it does what its supposed to.
NET isn't resume. So, you shouldnt look at their #3 net and think they deserve the #3 seed based on that. (There are other metrics that are better for that.)
NET, however, says "how hard was this team to beat" on everyone else's team sheet. And Houston, both through dominating Q2 teams and close losses to top teams, has shown it is extremely tough to beat. So they deserve to be super high up on anyone else's team sheet.
Houston is one of the best teams in the country. They're very, very good.
I also have no clue how NET is specifically calculated and weighted. It makes very little sense too often.
They don't use the NET Rankings to seed teams, they use the resume which consists of your quadrant wins. Houston being third does not mean they would be a 1 seed and ahead of ISU if the tournament were today. Not anywhere close to that.
Do you think Kenpom makes sense? They are very close to the same. It's funny how many people ***** about the NET but Kenpom is considered the gold standard and the majority of teams are within a couple of spots of being the same in both of those rankings.
Sorry for only posting this now. I have some sort of respiratory bug and took the second half of the day off work and ended up sleeping another four hours. Slightly better because of this...
Hey win this Saturday at WVU (really big swing game) and give me the over/under of 3 conference losses, I'd take under for without hesitating.
Also, Torvik has the Cyclones on the #1 line now...
Probably something like this...
Cleveland = #8 Michigan / #9 Florida
Denver = #13 Kansas / #14 Arizona
Lexington = #1 Auburn / #3 Tennessee
Milwaukee = #4 Iowa St. / #7 Illinois
Providence = #11 Kentucky / #12 Purdue
Raleigh = #2 Duke / #6 Alabama
Seattle = #15 Mississippi / #16 Mississippi St.
Wichita = #5 Houston / #10 Marquette
Big 12 right now...
#1 Iowa St.
#2 Houston
#4 Kansas
#4 Arizona
#7 West Virginia
#7 Baylor
#7 Texas Tech
#11 (Dayton) BYU
Cincinnati is the second-team out.
UCF, Utah, Arizona St., and TCU are still alive but need to get some work done.
Speaking of Dayton, these clowns seem to be salvaging their season...

They're still 0-5 against Quad 1 teams - and 10 of their last 14 games are Q1
so either they need to start beating some good teams soon or they are not going anywhere
It would've been nice if Dayton hadn't decided to completely **** the bed as well.
Hi I'm non-con Dayton and I have DirecTV
Hi I'm A10 play Dayton and I eat crayons
I want no part of Illinois. They've been up and down, but when they're playing well, they looked like the type of team we'd struggle against.
Hard to take this seriously with Michigan as a 2 seed. Or is this a typo and they actually mean Michigan State?
