Big East Poll , NET Rankings and Team Sheets

So, don't go beyond the 6th man.

Ross is a stud.  He totally messes with the flow of the opposing team. 

Keep the starting 5 with fresh legs with putting in Gold and Sean Jones for a couple of minutes.  Will need everyone to put out 120% any time on the court in the tournament.  Not to mention keeping everyone out of foul trouble.

Kind of surprised to see Joplin up there. A shorter rotation in the tournament should help us, assuming they can keep up that level of production with more minutes.

Only 105 minutes and mostly due to the game @ DePaul.

Can't imagine they change anything about their current rotations.  Joplin first off the bench, Ross and Sean get early run to see if either are on their A game and work from there.

Gold needs to play more

Gold needs to play more

He could be huge tomorrow if he comes in and drains a few threes to mess with Kalkbrenner.

Shaka talked about Gold being a matchup problem in the preseason and as I recall, alluded specifically to Kalkbrenner, or maybe it was how Creighton defended us. I definitely think they will try to use Gold's shooting and Oso's passing to pull Kalkbrenner away from the basket.

Great. Key to the game is a frosh averaging less than 8 mins per game

I should have used teal.   I prefer it when the bench is being utilized and productive.   I have said that ad nauseum.    So, essentially, we agree and shame on me.

You're only allowed one key to the game?  👀

Will Marquette finally pass Creighton with a win tonight?

Who cares. Saturday made it obvious that NET plays no role in seeding. Just ask Mick Cronin or Saint Mary's or even #76 Wisconsin.

I honestly think NET is less relevant than the Coaches' poll and I could not care less. Just more click-bait for CBB junkies, nothing more, nothing less.

You're confused

Makes a difference in Big East standings, though. If Creighton wins tonight & neither Marquette nor Creighton lose any other games, the team that's higher in the NET will be the 1-seed at MSG. New tiebreaker rule they added.

Hadn't seen this confirmed. NET comes into play after the usual head-to-head and opponent record comparisons, right?

I think using NET for even a tertiary tiebreaker is silly, but I suppose so was a coin flip.

Well then I change my mind, I do care about NET now, but just for the BE tie-breaker.

For the record, I don't think NET is flawed. I choose to ignore it just like the NCAA does in choosing or seeding teams, which is their right. Might as well be the Sacramento Bee sports section's power rankings.

[PGsHeroes32]

Helped us get a BE win.

But that X L was not ideal for the resume.

They dropped 9 spots out of Q1(gonna be tough to get back in TBH).

While Nova only rose 1 spot with the W. So still only at 83, need to be 75 for our road win there to be Q1.

X plays SHU now, who is hanging on for dear life as a Q1 win for us

I think we're fine PG..  Isn't the NET just one component as far as seeding?

Im talking Q1 wins which do matter some.

I am not worried about MU's net and where it ends up for seeding.

I know I asked this before, but how is St Mary's NET so high?

Other than beating Gonzaga, I think it's from blowing out bad teams.
