NET is such trash. I'm pretty sure it's designed to prop up the P6s and when a MM looks good in NET, they just look the other way. Apparently like Indiana St was the third team out, what a joke.

It’s better than the RPI but I don’t like it either. There are better metrics to use. I know it’s not the only one they use, nor should it be, but when it’s your main guiding tool, and you essentially leave out a team that’s a 7 seed by your main metric it basically means you don’t actually really care about it.

I dislike the quad system as well, designed for simplicity

The NET is bad but the adding of Quad wins based on NET is the real travesty. AKA whatever the P5 needs to get in

Obviously Indiana State made the NIT, but I just realized that Bradley made it as well - and they're matched up with Loyola in round 1.

Cole and Ege are portaling. Obviously we all knew about Cole, Ege is a bit of a surprise, but I don't think he was going to have minutes next year. To me that confirms that we're bringing the whole group back next season. The question then becomes, what do we do with that scholarship?

I need to not say things. Nate is in the portal, I hate everything.

Noah Carter about to be 0-18 in SEC

Nothing against him but I hope his family is happy....

He was getting absolutely dogged by his own fans in his last game. He could have been more successful if he just stayed put. Should be a cautionary tale. BUT, he and his family were toxic for the program so I’m glad they left. I wouldn’t have wanted him to stay around.

I guess we can discuss it now? Because two weeks ago some on here were bemoaning the hypothetical conversation.

I couldn't be any less surprised.

Disappointing news flash: Big 4 Iowa schools - of the 8 men's & women's teams the only one not still playing is the UNI men. The Frantastics move on.

ISUb put up 61 second half points in a NIT win over SMU tonight

[CyCarp]

Bradley took down Loyola pretty handily tonight as well

[BCPanther]

Indiana State hosts Minnesota at 1:00 Sunday on ESPN2.

Bradley plays at Cincinnati at 1:00 Saturday on ESPN+.

For like 15 years the valley won like 75% of it's first round games despite unfavorarable seeding. Then we let Drake carry the banner. We have got to get back to our rightful place in this league.
