      You're making a big assumption that either Iowa or ISU will win a game

        In a way Loyola has the most pressure. A loss in any game could drag them into the NIT. All that despite their so called high net rank.

          I think it's an advantage playing the early afternoon games in all three rounds. That's the reward for being #1.

            I think we'd make the 15 line. Yeah, about playing Duke.

                Giving coach K his final loss in the first round would be epic. But I think the floor is a 14 if we get in. The bottom 10 conferences are pretty bad and we would be above their champions.

                  I think I've decided I'll start a new "official" game thread on Thursday night after the 8/9 game is done.

                    Just looked at the latest ESPN bracket and Loyola is the first team out. They have a NET of 31 (of course they would drop out of the top 30, which would be a quad 1 win at home), but Rutgers is in with a net of 83. Why have the NET if it doesn't mean anything

                      whatever system/guidelines put in place will always just be a facade of hoops for mid-majors/etc. to try and jump through, but in reality will just be moving goalposts controlled by the P5 to adjust in whatever ways most benefit them for getting their own teams in.

                        The NET is a joke, they don't release the formula for how the teams are ranked, they are just throwing rankings by a team with no meaning behind it.

                        Compare Iowa to Iowa State

                        Iowa is 18th Iowa State is 35th

                        Iowa's record vs each quad is as followed 1-5 vs quad 1, 6-3 vs quad 2, 6-0 vs quad 3, 8-0 vs quad 4

                        Iowa State's vs each quad is as followed 9-7 vs quad 1, 2-2 vs quad 2, 1-0 vs quad 3 and 8-0 vs quad 4

                        Please explain how Iowa is 17 spots ahead of Iowa State?

                        There are plenty of other examples this one was just local and easy for people to relate to.

                          Are all-conference awards/teams announced today or tomorrow?

                            That's a great illustration of what a crappy computer formula can generate for results.
                            If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                              Iowa is really good at blowing the doors off terrible teams so they're obviously better than Iowa State who beats really good teams in close games.

                                So basically next year we need every MVC team to play this non conference schedule, and blow out every team and we will dominate the NET?

                                IUPUI
                                Delaware St
                                Mississippi Valley
                                Eastern Illinois
                                Lamar
                                Maine
                                Arkansas Pine Bluff
                                Charleston Southern
                                Columbia
                                Farleigh Dickinson
                                Incarte Word
                                Omaha
                                Central Connecticut State

                                We may need to drop Evansville to do this.
