Same formula every year to get rid of the threatening non-power teams.
N Texas highest ranked In Net rankings to not make the field at 38.
Arizona St and Pitt are in at 66 and 67.
The NET, like the RPI before it, is used only to help “power conference” schools make the tournament.
If a non power league team has a great NET ratings, it is completely ignored.
Fox’s Fanta is happy:
Memphis #29 vs #33 FAU is just further proof that the non power schools are being paired against each other early to eliminate one. Same with VCU and St Mary’s.
Not sure how to interpret this:
I hope every, every low seed wins in first round. Would be a hoot and would let people know that you do t have to be in power 5/6 to ball.
Not a surprise that the Holes won’t play in the NIT. The administration has nothing to gain and the players have been brainwashed into thinking they are above it.
Not a surprise that on the women’s side CUSA is also dissed. MTSU an 11 seed. The league is weak, but MT individually deserves a better seed than that, Having said that, I won’t shed tears if they lose in the initial round.
MT WBB has a NET of #28. But then FAU MBB is #13. Geez!
clt says the unc CHeat mbb players can spend more time in class this march
