Woo-hoo.  Winning the BET raised MU's NET a whole spot.

Woo-hoo.  Winning the BET raised MU's NET a whole spot.

And still a spot behind St Mary’s - what a joke.

[MU82]

If only we could have somehow proven that we're better than UConn -- maybe a neutral-site game (that actually was on UConn's de facto home court) between the teams could have decided it.

Nah ... use the NET!

This article by Brian Hamilton in "The Atlantic" gets into why MU is not explained statistically.

Woo-hoo.  Winning the BET raised MU's NET a whole spot.

Kind of highlighting how even 3 games out of 34 can only change things so much in the higher ranks. There is no recency bias like in the voted polls.

MU is almost certainly going to be higher on the NCAA Seed list than a few teams ahead of them on the NET list, including UConn, St. Mary's, Gonzaga, and Tennessee.

For all of the carping about what the Selection Committee does, I think it helps to have a human element instead of relying blindly on a formula.

[1SE]

Looking at who is in front of us - winning  out w a run to the BET Final should give us a realistic shot at a 2 seed.

63% of 2 seeds make S16 vs 52% of 3s.

Let's get it done.

Let's get it done.

So, now that MU has a KenPom top 50 defense I guess championship is possible?

In the 20 seasons KenPom as been around, the national champion has been top 40 offensively and top 25 defensively.

Is there any way to find out MU's defensive rank has been over the last 12 games? I would have to think it is quite high and shows they are playing the best defense of the year at the right time.

Somebody posted that the combined offensive and defensive rankings had to add up to less than 50 and that MU's was 55.
To be fair, same metric said Purdue couldn't win, either.

[CountryRoads]

In the 20 seasons KenPom as been around, the national champion has been top 40 offensively and top 25 defensively.

Wasn’t it noted that these numbers are after the season ended? If so, I think 5 more MU wins would probably put us close to the top 25 defensively which would fit the parameters.

[LloydsLegs]

It is after the season ends and MU is trending that way. 46 on D.

I can’t do it on KenPom but can on Torvik. Since the day after our last loss (at UCONN) MU is 12 on offense, 26 on defense, 8 overall.
