This makes absolutely no sense to me.

I’d guess it’s because we lost by 25. NET factors in scoring margin. If we’d lost by 2 we probably would have gained a few spots.
We all know the game was closer than the final score but losing by 25 is not a good look and will hurt you in the NET.

I’ll add a note that while the numbers slightly dropped in both categories, it’s likely because we got played so tight by a statistically really bad team. Rice had a good shooting night. They shot 45.5% from 3 and 65% from the floor overall. They normally shoot 36.5% and 45% respectively, over 25% better from 3 and over 40% better overall from the floor than normal, so they were having themselves a night.
We did give up too many easy points in the paint, but we can improve on that.
We have a chance to make a nice move this weekend with a win against North Texas, who is #60 KenPom and #60 in the NET.

We are back in the Top 100 in the NET for the first time since this thread was started over a month ago. We had a rocky run, but things have certainly smoothed out. We just need to keep taking it one game at a time and keep winning and this could be something really, really special.
We have three reasonable losses on the road:
Loss at Duke (19 NET 13 KP)
Loss at Richmond (74 NET 84 KP)
Loss at SMU (35 NET 40 KP)
And you all know the other losses on the road. Only loss at home to those SOBS at Davidson.
What was the highest we reached last season even after winning the CBI?
As much as I hate losing to Davidson, rivalry games are always a toss up. The UCF and Stetson games are the ones I wish we could run back.

UCF beat Kansas so not as shameful as Stetson.

Not a bad loss, just one we should have been able to close out.

Just a reminder that after UCF beat us, they too lost to Stetson. Would think just as maddening for their fanbase considering the wins over Kansas and Texas.

Hard to drop the early bad losses. Just have to keep winning and we will keep rising. We can be 8-1 in conference next weekend after getting a great wire to wire road win. Just keep grinding!
