Im still trying to figure out NET.
Iowa just won 5 straight ( 5-0 in Q1/2) and they litetally only moved up 6 spots in that span . I cant imagine there are 20 teams with more than 6 Q1 wins and 9 Q1/2 wins
Yet a team like Arizona is top 10 in NET.
Is mov that big a factor? Maybe @ericd7633 xan help a brother out here?
Thanks! Its just ineteresting to me to see team with only 3/4 Q1/2 wins and 0-2 road or neutral wins being ranked ahead of Iowa. Purely based on wins and losses i wouldnt think there are even 10 teams with a better combo of quality and quantity than Iowa. Its an intriguing systemThere just isn't as much of a reward for winning games at home, despite the competition being tough. It doesn't really help your adjusted winning %, as it's simply staying status quo. The TVI score is essentially what the old RPI used to be, if I'm trying to understand it correctly. Iowa's RPI is currently at 40 mostly due to the OOC SoS, and their OOC performance in general. It wasn't a bad OOC by any means, but the wins they have against Cuse, ISU, and Texas Tech are all much more highly rated in the NET than RPI. And then that's where efficiency comes into play. Iowa's not great defensively, but overall still sit at 14th in KenPom.
Overall the thing I like about the NET is that it's a ranking system, but your ranking overall won't determine whether you make the tournament or your seeding. For example the Gophers finished last year at 61 in the NET and NC State finished 33rd. Gophers made it, NC State didn't.
As for Zona, they have great metrics. But based on how the selection committee seeded last year, that alone won't align with where you'll be seeded. Seton Hall was 60th in KenPom and Texas was around 30th entering and didn't make it. Zona is looking at a 5/6 seed if it started today IMO.

Zona hasnt won a road game all year. That was part of my confusion lolIt’s pretty random still it appears
The two obvious things are
1. Win big whenever possible
2. Play well on road by either winning road games or losing close ones to really high NET teams.

Or Stanford, or Colorado, or Ohio St lol but yes anomalies occurThey have a bad loss it seems and that hurts them.
There's always an anomaly whenever you use one of the rating systems and Arizona is it for the NET.

Damnit, you just hate to see it.
Couldn't have happened to nicer guy.
The badger fan base I've seen online seem split, some aren't surprised and feel it's on Brad. Others think it's BS, and I saw one thinking it was a conspiracy by new B1G commish against Wi
