Message: [QUOTE="ThabeetDown, post: 3367994, member: 4336"] If you recall, the NCAA introduced NET as a replacement of sorts for the RPI and will widely be used to determine NCAA bids and seedings. [URL='https://extra.ncaa.org/solutions/rpi/Stats%20Library/NET%20Nitty%20Gritty%20-%20Dec.%2015,%202019.pdf']The first one is out.[/URL] Here are some notes that pertain to us: [LIST] [*]UConn comes in as #69 (nice). I would imagine you would want to be sub 50 to be considered a bubble team. I would say this is a fair place to be in currently, but do note that KenPom has us at #55. [*]Our best non-con opponents come in at: [LIST] [*]Nova #24 [*]Indiana #36 [*]Xavier #71 [*]Florida #78 [*]Buffalo #155 [*]Iona #208 [/LIST] [*]Notable AAC teams: [LIST] [*]Wichita #14 [*]Memphis #16 [*]Temple #49 [*]Houston #68 [*]SMU #88 [*]Cincy #110 [/LIST] [/LIST] As of today, AAC looks like a 2-bid league with Temple squarely on the bubble. It looks like we'll need to get probably 3 wins out of Nova/Wichita/Memphis and a split with Temple at the minimum to be a strong bubble team. We do get Wichita at home and a home & home with both Memphis and Temple. We definitely need some help from Florida in SEC play -- Auburn, Tennessee, LSU are all top-30 NET teams (and Kentucky lurking at 58 should go up). I don't trust Florida as far as I can throw them though... [/QUOTE]
