The NET determining formula being a secret is ridiculous. Nova 39 at 13-11 (6-7), SJ 48 @ 14-11 (6-8), Butler 50 @ 15-9 (7-7), X 51 @ 13-11 (7-6), PC 58 @ 16-9 (7-7), Seton Hall 75 @15-9 (8-5) There is not enough difference in out of conference schedules and results to account for this. Point differential, efficiency, etc...show me please NCAA. The difference between Villanova and Seton Hall is what’s laughable to me. Villanova lost 2 Q3 games early on(Drexel, Penn) and 3-7 over last 10 but are 40th? How they are ranked ahead of any of those BE teams I’ll never understand. Seton Hall has only 5 BE losses(2 without Richmond) and some quality wins but are 30 spots lower than Villanova and behind all those other BE teams too?

Correct me if wrong but Nova did have some better OOC wins? both had spotty OOC records right?

Never realized there were as many predictions made by services/entities… Cautiously optimistic that The Friars earn an NCAA bid.

Correct me if wrong but Nova did have some better OOC wins? both had spotty OOC records right? No doubt Nova had better wins pre conference but they also had 2 Q3 losses. Bottom line, since the at Creighton conference opener win by Nova back in December, what quality wins do they have? Seton Hall on the other hand have beaten both UConn and Marquette and also have road wins at Providence and Butler. I’m not saying SetonHall is better but they certainly shouldn’t be 30 points lower than Nova.

Bubble certainly isn’t weak this year. We’ve definitely gotten in safely with worse resumes than we have now. Plus Wake, Butler, Ole Miss and a few of these other bubble teams are good teams IMO

There were 29 brackets on bracket matrix updated on 2/22 and we were in 26 of them. Definitely trending in the right direction.
The athletic released their most recent version this morning and we were the top team in the last 4 byes section, ahead of 7 other teams. The writer (Brian Bennett) also posted some comments from an interview he did with the committee chair and the made a very interesting remark about how if you schedule poorly and float around 9-9 in league, you may not be in good shape. To me, this reads as a direct shot at Cincinnati and Ole Miss. we are fortunate to have top end wins against Marquette, Creighton and Wisconsin, just wish the badgers would get their ship righted. Many more will be released today and I expect to be in nearly all of those as well. We won’t be in Jerry Palm’s, but I am not sure what he’s doing this year, he wildly overrates the PAC 12 compared to his peers and vastly underrates the Big East.

Wake's win over Duke today, does PC no favors.. Definitely, but it’s the only bad one so far today. Need Oregon, Utah, Texas AM, Gonzaga, Drake, Nova to all lose as well
