NET Rankings

We’re in a decent place NET wise. Go 8-7 the rest of the way and I think they’re in…

There in lays the question. Which 8 games you feel are winnable? (See my new thread)

Need to get that Quad 1 win, the sooner the better . So take care of business on Tuesday then play best game of the season on Friday

Last night was very good for the NET.

USC is just outside #75. Away games that are 1-75 are Q1. Of course they'd drop by losing to Iowa, but it'd be massive to go 1-1 out west.

I'm trying to battle the assumption that the teams ahead of us in the NET are going to still be ahead of us there at the end of the season and/or they'll also be ahead in the b10 standings.

Say for example, that Iowa finishes 48th in NET but is 7th in b10 standings. imo, Iowa makes the dance in that scenario.

First things first tho - Iowa needs to be no worse than 9-11 in b10 standings to be in consideration; I think they can do that. If they go .500 or better, I like their chances.

Iowa’s big 10 standings will have zero impact on them making the tourney

Of course, but the better they are in the standings the less likely it is that their KenPom, NET, etc would be low enough that we’d be on the outside looking in.

Of course it does. Mathematically it would be impossible for them to have a NET high enough to make the tournament and finish bottom of the league. Same could be said about making the tournament and top of the league.
