Keeping an eye on the national rankings

I found this site which is pretty easy to navigate and look at various rankings. http://warrennolan.com/basketball/2020/index

GCU only has to move up 9 spots to get into Quad 3. Which they should do now that they're all eligible.

I'm quite confident Marshall will hit Q3 territory safely as well, maybe even Q2 if they really get rolling in a not awesome Conference USA

Quad 3 really does nothing for ya. If it's not Quad 1 or Quad 2, it might as well be a junior high school.

Don't look at South Carolina score. Still time but

Stetson #323 in the NET.

If GCU is a quad three team and we beat them on the road does that count as a quad 2 win? Also I think Marshall may win their conference with that #0 back they are a completely different team with him.

I highly doubt Marshall wins Conference USA. Western Kentucky and/or Louisiana Tech will likely win that league.

To answer the question about beating a Quad 3 on the road equaling a Quad 2? Not necessarily. There's some overlap in the rankings according to where a team finishes in the NET Ranking. This is what it looks like...

Quadrant 1 (Q1): Home (1-30)	Neutral (1-50)	Away (1-75)
Quadrant 2 (Q2): Home (31-75)	Neutral (51-100)	Away (76-135)
Quadrant 3 (Q3): Home (76-160)	Neutral (101-200)	Away (136-240)
Quadrant 4 (Q4): Home (161-353)	Neutral (201-353)	Away (241-353)

Idk beef, I'm not overly impressed with WKU, especially with Bassey out. LT maybe, but regardless with the CUSA setup marshall and ODU will get more win opportunities so that's a positive for us.

[desertcat]

Marshall should win their conference. WKU is not the team they were with their star center out. LA tech is solid and will be their biggest challenge. If I were a sports gambler I'd put money on Marshall and feel confident.

[beef50677]

I saw Bassey was hurt, didn't know it was season ending...that'll hurt the Hilltoppers.

[enkamania]

South Carolina dropped to a quad 3 win. Can beat Virginia on the road, loses to Stetson at home.

Guess we don't need this thread anymore.
