Worth its own thread, but what is the Selection Committee going to do about the NET? It is a computer ranking that was going to be easy to game, and two different leagues, the Big 12 and MWC, have made a mockery of it.

Nothing. They don't look at it for selection, except for putting the other teams on your schedule ordered by it. For that purpose, it's fine.

I'll bet the committee puts UK as the 4-seed in the East with us. Any takers?

If they win this one they may end up a 3. And they're closest to Detroit ( and slightly closer to Dallas than Boston, though Kansas and Baylor will want Dallas, too.)

Yes, they could end up a 3, I just see the committee putting them as a hot team in our bracket.
 
Sheppard and Knecht are so friggin good. It's crazy how under the radar Sheppard was pit of high school and then there's Knecht who nobody even looked at.

They are starting to concern me too. They are still not a good defensive team, but they've gotten better. If we see them and it's a shoot out, anything could happen.

They've got alot of offensive options, got two guys who can break you down off the dribble and create for themselves and others, plus another very good shotmaker in Reeves

Yep and they're showing they can play defense.
 
At this point I'm shocked when Sheppard misses a shot, his shotmaking is automatic

The more I watch him the more I see a future NBA star. Not saying he'll be Curry or Nash but he could pan out and be in their orbit.

It's not fine. Anyone analyzing teams by records vs Quads is basing their entire analysis on a tool, the NET, that is totally flawed and essentially useless.
Expand ...
The NET is much less flawed than you and all the random ACC stans make it out to be. The Techs, Oklahomas, and TCUs of the world have fallen back down to where you'd expect them to be (around 40).

It's not perfect, but it's serviceable. The committee is certainly able and does disagree with it.

Quads are only one piece of a resume. They're also flawed. The actual resume metrics are the most predictive thing for selection anyways, so people (probably including me when I make my posts) over-index on the quads for selection importance.

I really want Marquette to win and secure the 4 seed. I’d much rather have Seton Hall as the 4 and only have to face one of Creighton or Marquette.

The way Marquette is playing it is going to be another UConn vs. St. John's contest at MSG in the semis.
