Big East Poll , NET Rankings and Team Sheets

Failing to cover against a sub 300 NET team will do that.  I would also imagine that the gaps between teams around us is shrinking despite us only moving up one.  Last week we were 17 and Kansas was 16. They're up to 12 despite a 1-1 week.  Makes me think that 2-0 with 2 covers could see us jump multiple spots.  Teams ahead of us failing to cover would certainly help too.

Curious - does the net take cover into the equation?

NET takes offensive and defensive efficiency into account.

Which is basically where spreads reached by Vegas.

So routinely covering spreads is usually a good sign for your NET

Good to know, thanks!

Yes and no. PG hit the nail on the head and is correct, but I could have explained it better.

Is having the Hall stay in top 75 important?  Is it better to have a Q1 loss or a Q2 loss?  Someone who is not looking to closely might look and feel that 4-3 in Q1 and 3-2 in Q2 "looks" better than 4-4 and 3-1?

We def want them in the top 75.

That also makes Saturdays game a Q2 win rather than Q3

Def want SH in the top 75.  Also want to keep PC and BU there, seems likely now, but they were close to dropping earlier in the season, worth keeping an eye one IMO.  Less significant but still worth monitoring are UCLA and ND.  After their 15 point road win, UCLA jumped like 15 spots, still a ways to go to get up to Q2 but not impossible.  At one point ND was one spot away from jumping into Q3.  2 straight losses has drop them about 10 spots, getting them top 160 could help (probably minimally) too.

So mad at Marquette for scheduling two games against a 300+ NET team!

[Galway Eagle]

Damn wasn't rider supposed to win their conference?

Looks like Texas could get back up to Q1 which would be nice.

They were: https://maacsports.com/news/2023/10/4/rider-picked-as-favorites-in-mens-basketball-preseason-coaches-poll-mervin-james-named-preseason-player-of-the-year.aspx

NIU was also picked in the top-half of the MAC, but since beating DePaul to get to 5-1 (only loss at the time to Marquette) they are 0-12 in D1 games. I thought they both had Q3 upside, but even Southern is closer to that than they are now.

Marquette is back in Top 10 in National Championship Odds on FS1 Ticker coming in at #10

[PGsHeroes32]

Shame Texas couldnt seal the deal in the Houston game earlier this week, theyd be a Q1 win.

Up to 32 in the NET so still close to being one. Need them to beat ISU on Tuesday.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Couple of borderline teams to watch.  Texas, 2 spots away from being Q1. Creighton, 1 spot away from being Q1A. St. Johns, 3 spots from being Q1A.

UCLA has been rapidly climbing towards Q2 status as well

Thats one that would be big getting that into Q2. Hopefully they can keep beating up on trash Pac 12 teams. Shame they blew the Zona game

Our Kenpom Adjusted O is on the move this week.  Up from mid 30s to mid 20s in a week.  D went from 14 to 11 too!
