Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4829318, member: 6927"] As far as seedings go, LSU was clearly penalized by the committee for its weak schedule. That's why they were only a 3-seed despite being #3 overall in the NET. The polls are a different beast, and have always tended to reward teams who simply avoid losing even if they are playing weak opponents. But the polls aren't considered in the tournament seedings. The jury is very much still out on whether there's a trick to “gaming” the NET and, if so, how. It's been around in the men's game for six years now, and AFAIK no clear pattern has emerged. [/QUOTE]
