Committee chair said very clearly a few minutes ago on A&M...."they had Q1 opportunities and didn't get enough of them and had a 8 game losing streak".
So, I will say it again so it doesn't come up again....who you play matters, who did you beat matters.....ignore the NET, the NET determines nothing about making the NCAAs"
Took a look at the NET vs. the overall seed listing..
The first 39 NET teams made it to the tournament.... but after that, at-large selections were made for 43, 45, 49, 50, 53, 55, 62, and 77. (Automatic bids for 46, 52, 64, 65)
Some of the biggest gaps between the NET ranking order (1-68) and the overall seed list:
Seed was lower than NET by at least 15 spots:
VTech - NET 27, Overall Seed 46
Loyola Chicago - NET 23, Overall Seed 39
Houston - NET 3, Overall seed 18
San Francisco - NET 22, Overall seed 37
Seed was higher than NET by at least 14 spots:
Providence - NET 33, Seed 16
Wisconsin - NET 24, Seed 9
Creighton - NET 55 (47th among the field), Seed 33
