Our net stayed at 76 after yesterday's game. Brad Wachtel and Joe Lunardi both have us as the 2nd to last place team in. So, I'm officially very concerned that we won't make it again with a loss to Iowa because a bid stealer here and a nice win in a conference tournament there by a bubble team and we're easily out. That would be devastating and cruel.

It all comes down to how much do NET rankings impact the committee's decision. It it impacts it a lot, we're in trouble.

On the other hand, if it uses a NET ranking simply as a guide, it will not have much of an impact. Our combination of Q1/Q2 wins/losses ranks among the top dozen teams in the country. If the committee wants a team that has proven it will compete well vs. the tourney's best clubs, we are a shoo-in for a bid.

We won a close game against NET 93. Didn’t really expect us to move from that.

S Dakota State would drop from a loss to a team outside the top 200. Towson would also take a big hit for losing to a NET 150ish team. A loss to St Marys would have to be a blow out for Santa Clara to move much.

there are many other bracketologists who have RU as a 10 or 11 beyond the last 4. The reality is you need to understand the bubble, there are very few schools that can knock RU out, do not get caught in the fact we are so close to the cut line with some brackets. The seedings from 10 to 12 are very very very close right now,
