That's not very fun to this IU fan

Why is everybody so quick to try to prove (or try to prove) everybody wrong -- or prove they "know" more than someone else? G-damn!

Last year they finished behind IU in the NET. Still not fun for you I know but that first NET ranking will change a ton before it’s all said and done

IU at 36

36 is a good number considering the lack of strong opponents in the non-con so far and all the home games. I wouldn't have been shocked if IU started in the 50's and then had to be respectable in the B1G to climb up into the 30's or so which would give IU a fair shot at making the tourney.

Top 30 with 4 metrics averaged in
(Ken Pom, BPI, NET and Sagarin )

That was the nastiest spill I have seen for a big man for a little bit. I am shocked he didn’t smash his head down harder than he did.

Not good for the Boilers; apparently this is his second concussion this season. Without him protecting the rim for 25 minutes a game I believe the Boilers would be in deep, deep kimchi:

 

10/2/2019  Purdue center Matt Haarms returning to practice soon: After less than half a practice last week, Purdue center Matt Haarms was sent to the sideline, after taking a blow to the head and suffering a concussion.

"I'm good," Haarms said Wednesday at Big Ten media day. "I'm all cleared. All good."

"I was telling people, 'I'd rather this happen to me than one of our new guys,'" Haarms said. "They'd be lost. Thankfully I know what's going on with the team.

"It sucks to miss practice, though. But it was all about being safe and I really appreciate our training staff, they're not rushing me back, really following protocol and making sure I get back safe."

For reference last year IU was 34th in the first NET ranking

Clearly they are better then that but when you have a non a conference strength of schedule in the 300’s and you lose at home to #183 some computer rankings might penalize them for that

I always want to see kids sit out games against us. But from having too much fun the night before not like this

And that will skew their ranking for pretty much the rest of the year even though we know they are better than that and likely a Top 15 team.

They will be fine once they start playing real teams. They will finish with a top 15 NET if I had to guess. Florida came in at 78 and North Carolina came in at 94. One observation was duke had the most quad 1 wins with 4 however it looks like the home loss to SF Austin overshadowed them a little because they came in at 13.

UNC’s makes more sense with how they’ve struggled recently. But last year, Indiana never dropped outside the Top 100. That didn’t make any sense.

Doesn’t make sense to you but I see why they didn’t drop outside the top 100. No quad 3 or 4 losses. The B1G was represented well in the NET. They ended the year with 3 top 15 NET which bumped them up. They were as high as 16 when they were 12-2 and fell down into the 70’s. I would say that was a big drop for a power 5 team in conference play. Among B1G teams IU finished with the 9Th best NET out of 14 teams The NET penalized them plenty for losing even though they didn’t drop outside the top 100

IU never fell out of the top 100 in any metric used last year
RPI was the closest at they ended up 98

I’d say after losing 12 of 13, you should drop not just out of the Top 100, but well out. And those losses included Nebraska, NW and Rutgers. That was a pathetic joke of the NET and showed just how biased it can be.
