ESPN BPI

I have always found their rankings to be solid, and a good resource. I went on this morning, and was surprised to see Arizona, who is 6-5 with their best win being Davidson, at No. 7 in their rankings. Ahead of UConn, Kansas and Alabama.

But their overall metrics aren't bad. Arizona has lost to okay and good teams (Wisconsin, Duke, Oklahoma, West Virginia, UCLA) but still their 23 in the NET, 21 in KenPom. No signature win. Would they get in if the tournament was today?

Their resume metrics average is 96. They wouldn't get in.

Net rankings 23 and KenPom 21

Now I'm more an eye test guy than a metrics guy, but the committee uses these metrics as tools. Hence I think they're in, less they become the best "net rankings" team to be left out

St. John's was 21 in KenPom last year and didn't make it.

Inclusion is much more informed by resume metrics, and then seeding is more informed by predictive/power metrics.

As it should be.

ESPN BPI has us finishing at 26-5 regular season. Losing at Xavier and at Marquette. If that’s where we end up we will be looking good going into postseason play.

Depending on how we do in the BET, that's a 2 seed resume, maybe an outside chance at a 1.

Do we know what their NET was?
