Has anyone considered that the reason we aren’t in the tourney is because WE lost to two 100+ NET teams in the final week of the season?

Then why have it though? If their NET is #3, have them be the 3 seed... otherwise just stick to polls if you're going to base it on opinion. They created a formula to try to remove bias only to not like the results of the formula and do what they want anyways. I wouldn't be upset if there was no RPI/NET to tell me we're better than other teams getting in. 

I believe Houston is the only team in the top 40 teams without a Quad 1 win.  How in the world are you a NET #3 with zero Quad 1 wins?

Wow I didn't know that. The answer to your question is unknown to me.

I think some of y'all have gotten so hung up on NET that you are overlooking other things.  Rutgers has SIX quad 1 wins.

yes, they're .500 in quad 1 overall, but 6 wins will get you a ton of consideration in the bubble talks.

Agreed. Under-seeded even. 

I don’t know about underseeded. I know they are good, but I watched some of their games. If they are underseeded, then Memphis is definitely underseeded.

Doesn’t NET take all of that in to consideration when ranking teams?  I ask because I find following all of the different “bracketologists” ridiculously tiring and thought NET was created to sort out who are the best teams.

Because of efficiency stats.  UH is #11 in offensive efficiency and #3 in defensive efficiency.

Only 4 quad 1 opportunities.  Lost 3 of them by 1 or 2 points

Only 1 quad 2 loss (Memphis at home).  No quad 3 or 4 losses.

Memphis is likely underseeded. When they are on, they can beat anyone.  They've had a crazy year with injuries, COVID, and just meshing their team.  They're on a roll lately.  Even though UH iust beat them by 18, i don't want to play them again.  Only team to beat UH by more than 2 points, and both their wins were by double digits.

I feel like they could easily be a 4, nearly 30 wins and only 5 loses the whole year.  I was watching their game earlier today and they look big and athletic. If they have found some consistency they can be dangerous for anyone.

I always think 90% of this sentiment shared by Maxwell is from a viewership that hasn't seen a single CUSA game.  We [CUSA] have  to take it to these B1G fringe bubble teams and beat the ever-living crap out of them.

Basically.  When you point out that we beat Purdue last year they say different year, different teams...which yeah fair enough.  However, while we might not be able to beat this year's Purdue squad, but I certainly think we could beat Michigan.

Purdue is on another level this year.  I'm going to be looking at Michigan and Indiana. I admit that I currently don't know much about Indiana, though.

Could Michigan manage to score 60 against our defense?

[Big Z]

How did Wyoming get in? They lost in their second round game in the MWC tournament?

[CMJ]

Numbers wise, it was a historically strong year for the MWC and Wyoming was a beneficiary of that.

I was born in Michigan and still kinda want the Blue to do well. I don't watch a ton of college basketball outside UNT these days, but I have stopped down for a few UM games this year. 

UNT would win 7 of 10.

mac could stand up on a stool and a howard punch would go over his head.....

[Green Otaku]

As fiery as Mac is we'd have to pull him off of Howard.

This guy's bracketology talk is pretty incredible
