Next four out

4 wins vs field not good enough

Only 1-10 upper q1

Somewhat real question:

Is there a good way to select and seed the tournament teams?

I have no idea.
Obviously conference champ is easy for a group of teams (although regular season champ is arguably better).
But then how for the rest?
Can't just go "record" with no many teams in Div-1a.

A billion $ is waiting for someone to make a suitable BCS formula for basketball.

Here is the thing …there is only going to be 15 power 6 teams with single digit losses at 6 pm
Today ….31 game schedules and parity has made records more toward .500

25 years ago …we had billets shot in the garden …2 weeks before thsr , we beat a 20-4 team Syracuse (big name ) in the RAC in late February . Today , that’s a top 5 record in mid February , back then ..they were only ranked number 20

So todays 23-10 is back then 26-7 …and I kinda see the 2nd or 3rd best team from a top three confrnce being 23-10/24-9 and a 3 seed or 4 seed

Yup …the parity feels like it has changed

Used to be top 20-25 teams were on one level and then parity hit from about 25-75

Now, there are maybe 7-10 elite reams , and then a lot of parity from 10-60….then a big drop off at 60

I don't pay too much attention to the NET, it is really not about the best at large teams, it is about the best situation for trying to be fair to as many schools across the CBB landscape.

At the end of the day, there is a formula that is consistent and while RU fans may not want to agree with all of it, this staff has threaded the needle 4 straight years with timely transfer additions, shedding the image of a dormant, losing program and established itself as a credible program in a difficult B1G landscape.

The staff was able to develop players AND win enough games 4 years in a row.......and the better the recruiting becomes, the more credibility we gather on a regional or national scale.

We have to stay the course and celebrate this day as a major accomplishment. Despite what some fans here think, four straight NCAA caliber teams in a row, matters. Anyone saying otherwise, is truly just hating to be a hater.

Does Arkansas.....West Virginia.....Providence......St Marys.....even teams with weak resumes like North Carolina and Michigan get the benefit of the doubt?? Yeah, the more you dance, the more leeway you're going to earn. RU is now arrived at that stage.

Let the brackets and matchups be the focus, Selection Sunday was a sincere hope for a lot of us 5 to 7 years ago as "one day, we'll have a Northwestern 2017 type of season", to today where we are discussing seeding, locations for travel, potential matchups etc.

Other than the 1st true Saturday of the College Football season, Selection Sunday is probably the best sports day of the entire calendar year. Enjoy the Sunday folks!!!

Arkansas is extremely talented and lost their best player for over a month. That's not a team that fans should be hoping to line up and play in the 1st round.

The problem(s) with NET is once you are in a spot it's almost impossible to move up or down. Teams get cemented in a certain neighborhood whether they win or lose. It also over emphasizes being in a perceived strong conference regardless of actually winning. E.g. WVU who had huge losing streaks but largely stayed in their NET range.

Arkansas also played a ton of quality OOC teams and won big vs a lot of them, Q3 10-1 and Q4 2-0. They are right where they should be, 2 teams below 200 non conference.

215 ND St 76-58
134 Fordham 76-48
155 South Dakota St 71-56
315 Louisville 80-54 N
17 Creighton 87-90 N
14 San Diego St 78-74 N
135 Troy 74-61
95 San Jose St 99-58
118 UNC-Greensboro 65-58
68 Oklahoma 88-78 N
71 Bradley 76-57
140 UNC-Ashville 85-51

I wish we would schedule more like this

I really don’t think the committee looks at the NET as much as people think. That’s why the committee exists anyway. Rutgers last year was a good example.
