Keeping an eye on the national rankings

[CyCarp]

Does the committee even look at RPI anymore?

Was looking at NET vs. good ol’ RPI today.

RPI
UNI 19
B1G teams ahead of UNI 1 (next closest is at 32)

NET
UNI 37
B1G teams ahead of UNI: 10

Weird, I wonder why they switched to NET?!?

That's incredible.

But it's obvious the system has been systemically changed to keep the mid-majors out.

This is truly remarkable. The fact that anyone or anything could think there are 10 B1G teams better than UNI is laughable. But the fact that they'll actually use it to make tournament selections makes me wanna

Our Drake win must have earned us some respect. We have 4 votes in the AP poll (39th) and a surprising 19 votes in the Coaches poll (30th).

Hmm... 10 seed isn't in "safe" territory, but it's certainly in safe-r territory. Pencil me down for pleasantly surprised. Still better to remove all doubt and cut some fricking nets already.

The committee would probably avoid that rematch.

If we're in a 7-10 as the field currently sits, give me Marquette all day long.

I like the idea of a second game against WVU

Rather play somebody that might take UNI lightly. WVU wouldn’t.

Exactly, the less familiar a team is with us the better.

[sivert]

Up to a #10th seed in the latest Bracketology on ESPN.

He also has Whichita st playing in, then against Iowa. Would I root for Skwaks or Shocks? That would be tough.

Get to Sunday and we're in. I'm incredibly confident on that. The numbers are in our favor, we've got good wins, we're good.

Buuuuuuuut if we're going to play Sunday anyway and there's a chance to keep Porter out of the tournament, we might as well pick up some free t-shirts.

Drake fell ten spots because (say it with me now) “The NET is dumb”.

Eh, when you get the hammer dropped on you like that at home, there are very few metrics that'll be kind to you, from NET to Kenpom to eye test.
