I know people would like a stronger ooc schedule but IU’s wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be.    It’s around 103out of 363.   That’s actually a respectable ooc

I’m seeing 284th on Kenpom

Yea…I was going off Kenpom and it was close to 300. Playing those 300 level teams really hurts there. Apparently it must be better in NET. If that’s the case then I’m all for gaming the system, even if I don’t care for the multitude of bad games.

That’s not on the team sheet.   NET non con Sos is 105.  That’s the one that will matter.   I don’t even look at Ken Pom sos

Can 'Nova make the Dance without winning the Big East CT?  They sit 14-14.

From everything I’ve seen, they have no chance unless they become the automatic qualifier.

What exactly is on the team sheet that the committee looks at?

Xavier and Iowa State losing to bad teams gotta help us some right?

After winning at PU, I'd have to think if we sweep our remaining home games we'd have a 3 seed locked up regardless of anything that happens in the B1G Tournament.

#5 and dropping before tonight. Big win for us at PU, so we should be #4low or #5rising on the next prediction. We should win the next 2. B10 tournament will matter. 

If we step on our dicks in the last 2 games, or early on the B10C, no bueno. But an strong finish could be 3ish, even low-2 is possible.

I said early that the X win would help late season. X is a still good win. 

X is still in NET, still top25, and can improve vs against #20 Prov this year.

Gained 2 spots in NET 20 to 18th.   I thought IU might if gained a little more after a top 5 NET road win but I was wrong.     Zona doesn’t drop after losing at home to Arizona St.   reminder a teams overall net number doesn’t matter as much as the resume inside it so really not a big deal IU didn’t rise anymore then they did because in their resume they have a sweep of Purdue

Do you see us moving the needle much with seeding after that win?

94 bracket predictions, IU was 16th overall before beating Purdue….and two fours in front of IU lost yesterday.

Have to think what really helps isn’t so much the slight net bump but rather a win that is guaranteed to be a Quad 1a.

How did Michigan State’s net move up 2 spots yesterday?

Everyone played so I guess other teams were worse. Miami for example dropped 6 losing to FSU, that helped.
