Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3868345, member: 168"] The NET factors winning percentage in twice, raw and weighted. Currently their winning percentage is .667 and their weighted is .659 If they win Home v. Georgetown and @Seton Hall: Raw: .700 Weighted: .693 So that's actually a decent amount given other teams above us will be losing. We also maxed out the factor of winning margin against both Georgetown and Marquette, since the calculation stops at 10. If you figure we at least beat Georgetown at home by as much as we did on the road, we'd max that out as well. People act like this is happening in a vacuum. Where we are ranked in NET isn't near the top, so team's are going to lose more regularly so we'll probably jump more than people think (if they win). Unlike KenPom, I don't think NET factor's in the [I]opponent's[/I] efficiencies outside of that one game. Perhaps I'm wrong though. Further, while I agree with [USER=833]@nelsonmuntz[/USER] that we [I]should [/I]have played more games when we could have, we didn't. One advantage to that given where we are (i.e. fewer games than we'd like) is that a wins increase our raw and weighted winning percentage more than they normally would at this time of year. Creighton had five more games. If you imagine playing five more scrubs at home (reasonable given we only had 3 OOC games) and winning them all, they'd be at 17-6 with a .739 percentage and a .708 weighted %.
