And I still think is BS. I don't anyone had the wins we had by the end of the year. Georgetown, Michigan 2x, Michigan State 2x and Ohio State.

Have to avoid losses as well.  That Illini choke job  cost us huge as well

I would like to discuss Greg McDermott’s beautiful purplish blazer

I had IU 3rd overall that year the same as the committee ended having them.   I would have to go back and check it again but the home loss to OSU and losing both to Wisky (at home and in tourney) was a factor for me having  Kansas above them as well.    When you are separating 1 seeds the smallest margin can be the deciding factor and has LCS pointed out IU losing before the conference tourney finals while other teams won their conference tourney stuck out 

Interesting.  Just to be clear, what I posted for 2013 isn't what I used for my top 25 I posted Monday, but what I have come up with to closely replicate the NET.  For 2013, my NET-duplication formula resulted in Kansas ranked #6, behind Louisville, Indiana, Florida, Gonzaga, and Duke.  Florida, with a 3 seed, certainly ended up below their ranking, lol.

True, but that year all the power conference teams had at least 5 regular-season losses.  Gonzaga only had 2.

I recall UF was higher in Kenpom than polls/seeds so this tracks

True. I feel like I'm today's though, it's "not a bad loss" because it's a Q1 road loss.

Notre Dame should hire Micah Shrewsberry. First, because he’s good, and second, because then IU wouldn’t have to play his teams every year, often more than once

Rough going at the top of the polls, Alabama and Houston both down double digits in first half

First team to 40? We’re gonna need double overtime at this rate.

[Stuhoo]

Wisky comes up with 16 big-a$$points at halftime.

And it’s a close game

[johnsoniu]

Houston survives

alabama gets dismantled in Norman

[Alford Bailey]

Still think Arizona is the best team I’ve seen followed closely by Alabama 

[LIHoosier]

Illini/Wisky finally pass the vaunted 38-33 barrier

Wisconsin simply does not look very good.

And I’m not sure if anyone is coming to play for Gard that will change this.

Eventually, water finds its level. 
Wisc can go back to the cellar

But they still only have two seniors -- Wahl and very little used Neath -- and Wahl can come back next year if he chooses to.  I figure they'll be back to their pesky selves next year.

Charleston up just two at home against Hofstra at half.
