Solid NIT team.
Wow 4 sub 100 big east teams. Lot of Q3 games coming up.
Sigh.
As a reminder, the NET is not very accurate when it first comes out. 1-1 Colgate is currently ranked #16. As we get deeper into conference play, you will see all Big East teams rise significantly.
Early numbers, but about what I expect. Nova the clear best team, 6 teams in that bubbly 30-80 range. It will be interesting to see the impacts of diminished home court importance and fewer non-con games.
There are also only 18 teams with 2+ Quad 1 wins already. We're in REALLY good shape there...just need to win the Q2s and Q3s in conference play.
With a diminished home court advantage, is the committee still using the same home/neutral/road NET ranking cutoff points for determining what quadrant a game belongs in, or is it being adjusted?

Not sure, though there was discussion about tweaking it.
