IU up to 19th in the NET

6 Big 12 teams in the top 17 NET.   That’s crazy.

The rise of TCU, Texas, Texas Tech (they’ve been good for a while, but still), and Kansas State is making that conference a blood bath. Seems like there’s a top 25 conference matchup every night.  
 

Kansas St seemingly came out of nowhere. At the other end, I don’t even think WVU is all that bad. They’ve been competitive in the games I’ve watched at least.

Every Big 12 team Is in the top 75 NET.  Texas Tech is winless in the league and still top 75 meaning every road game played for that league is a Q1 game.    B1G has 12 teams in the top 77.   Nebraska and  Minny only teams not in that range.    Every road game besides Minny, Nebraska and Michigan are Q1 with those 3 being Q2.     Winning streaks in these leagues can cause serious movement for a team if they get hot.   After the Minny game last I checked IU would have 8 or 9 straight Q1 games

Does selection committee factor in injuries during games or overall body of work regardless of personnel? 

 

Edit: Sorry for asking you so many Q's today. Trying to learn and you seem knowledgable and grounded

Overall body of work regardless of personal.   Injuries from game to game don’t really factor into things.   They can’t assume a team would win or lose a game because of injuries.   They would be a disaster to try and factor in.

Injuries factor more on a teams seeding than it does overall  selection.    They have people keep track throughout the year on injuries and has to rely on schools being honest about the availability of players.   Couple of examples teams have been dropped in seeding after losing a key player to injury and not really playing well without them.   An example of injuries not factored into a teams selection would be Notre Dame a few years back.   They would have clearly been a tourney team if Colson wasn’t injured most the year.   He did come back and they played better but while he was gone their resume wasn’t good enough.    Committee left them out (first team out).

Evidence you're knowledgeable and grounded. A lesser driver wouldn't have pulled that off.

Team A for me doesn’t have the 4 games over .500 so Creighton would be third for me 

Team C and Team B are close but for me team Bs win at Kentucky isn’t enough to pass Northwestern on the seed list 

so for me I would go 

Northwestern 

Kentucky 

Creighton 

When it’s all said and done I would go 

Creighton 

Kentucky 

northwestern

The mailman has delivered roughly a ton of packages the last week+. I attempted to tip him but he refused. I guess a small compliment makes me feel better (?) That gif cracks me up.

I think a lot of Northwestern's chances of making the tourney depend on the next four games.  They got their win against Wisky tonight was a lift.  The next four is the easiest part of their schedule left -- at Nebraska, Minnesota, at Iowa, Michigan.  Win three of those and they're in good position.   Their best non-conference win was a neutral court win against Liberty, so they have to run their numbers up in conference.  If they finish 19-12, 10-10 entering the Big Ten tourney it might have them on the wrong side of the bubble because the non-conference schedule was so weak.
