How accurate are they?

WVU continues to fall in the NET even though they are beating top 10 teams.


Our 4 losses are to teams currently at NET 3, 14, 29, and 33. We have wins against teams currently at NET 6, 9, 14, 18. I'm not sure all the calculations that go into it, but hard to see how a ranking system tags a team at 30 when that team's worse loss is to a team tagged 33 and they have 4 wins against teams tagged in the top 20 of the same ranking system.

They factor in all the teams you play, so not sure about who wvu played in the non-conference, but guessing a few of them must be really low or having awful seasons.

doesn’t make much sense at all. Gonzaga at 14-6 is higher.
The Gonzaga win is looking less and less impressive. Don't get me wrong, it was a great win. But they lost to Oregon State and Santa Clara this past week. They are looking like they aren't as good as their preseason hype had them.

I agree. Arizona win looks better even though we lost in the 2nd game.

We really dropped the ball on OOC scheduling, the only negative I can really say on the season for the staff.

We’ve got 2 300+ teams, including Mercyhurst who’s at like 350 which might be the worst opponent we have ever played in my time following the program. Also at least one more 250ish team. That stuff pulls down the average and probably will cost us a seed as we have benefited from it in the past. I don’t think the committee looks as closely as you would think.

Yeah cause all the teams ranked ahead in NET don't play a 350 or 250ish ranked.

One is fine, 3-4 is a killer. Like you said Huggins knew how to manipulate it and make sure our tomato cans were 180s not 300s. Probably more of a product of DeVries being new to the region and not knowing the ins and outs of the regional low major conferences or just not having the relationships within ADs yet in this part of the country.

WVU has 1 game against a 300+ that is Mercyhurst 346.

5 of them 201- 295 / 6-0 Quad 4
2 teams Quad 3 ranked 78 and 109 / 2-0
1 team Quad 2 (92) 1-0
4-4 vs QUAD 1 (3 to 33)

Gozaga 3 teams over 300 and 3 teams ove 200.

ISU 4 teams over 300 & 2 teams over 200.
That's 6 quad 4 games.
Bothe of these teams are above WVU.

NET ranking is suspect.
