We started today at 94, after winning on the road against Wisconsin, I am guessing 78.
Guess the NET Tomorrow
- Thread starter jordkap
- Start date
Who gives a **** about the NET. It is 1 factor but human eyes realize what we have done.
1,346 it’s broken lol. Definitely Shields.
unfortunately it is a big part of the resume the committee considers and will be our biggest hurdle

Yessir! We’re gunna #BreakTheNet this year
Agreed and the NCAA has said it's only a sorting tool. 6 quad one wins, including, finally, a huge one on the road today is phenomenal and will likely get us in at 11-9 IMO (especially with a B1G tourney win and assuming we don't see a huge number of upsets in the conference tourneys). As I said earlier, nobody wants to play us, because they know how tough and good we are.
8 point road win going to be a big move.......77
we also got help from Merrimack big win over Wagner, Lafayette beating Lehigh, Umass wins

Only 6 teams have more right now and we now also have one on the road, which was a major hole in our resume. The only box we don't check now - and it's not trivial - is bad losses, as we're horrible in Q3 and Q4.
No not a big part. A part. A human can look at 2 last second buzzer beaters that ended in losses in November ( partly without Geo ) and then compare to the back to back to back ranked wins by 21 points , 2 points at home and by 8 points on the road. A real knowledgeable human that thankfully can realize that instead of putting too much weight on a computer. It is now 6 Quad 1 wins. We have beaten 4 of the top 5 teams in the Big 10 and the other one we lost too we will revenge on Wednesday. We have also beaten Michigan and Iowa teams either in the tourney or on the bubble. Common sense has to prevail.
I am with you. But they can also gonna say we lost to NW, Minn and a heroic effort to beat winless Neb. OT against Lehigh. Loss to DePaul.
Blah blah blah…..
even with all that said. Rutgers should ALREADY be a team firmly on the bubble. Even before today. Another quad 1 win (we have 3-4 more chances at) and I don’t see how you keep us out.
It’ll be a terrible look if we finish 6th in the big ten and the 5 teams in front of us and however many teams behind us make the dance instead. Stay in the upper echelon of the Big Ten and get in. It should be common sense, freakin NET
It’s going to be really interesting to see how they might seed us after we finish the deal
I mean …in the past, they put a premium on seeding on how you finished , they stopped emphasizing that a couple of years ago …
but right now Rutgers is playing like a 4/6 seed.
If we sustain it …Is it fair to a 6 seed if they put us at a 11 seed because of “our total body of work” and low net ranking
If we finish bjg …they are going to have to break the seeding mold for us, not only to be fair to us , but more so by not giving us a seed that’s unfair to the rest of the region

We beat OSU at home who was similar to Illinois and by weeks end only moved up 6 spots. We aren’t moving 20 v. Illinois
home wins even over Illinois will not cause as large jumps as this road win. I think RU still will have trouble breaking 60 even finishing the season at 18-12
I was saying this today. Take the name off our jersey, this is not a team I would want to play in a bracket. Has beaten multiple Quad 1s including #1 in the country but threw in some clunkers so the ranking is off. This is a team that takes down a #1 in the tournament.
We've already broke the NET. I know the committee will look at it when time comes but the Quad 1 wins are important. You want teams in the tourney who can beat other tourney teams which we've proven now time and time again. I would take that over UNCs 0-7 against Q1. Yes the early losses sucked but can't hold it against the team much longer if at all anymore.
