Wisconsin up 4 sports to 72. So now a Q2 loss.

Messes with our Q1+Q2 record!

Nice to not have a Q3 loss though, I suppose.

The big takeaway from the reveal was big road dubs.
It's only one, but Marquette now has theirs.

Hopefully regular season conference success, although not an official metric, plays a role in the minds and feelings inside that room.

Win the next 3, win game 1 at the garden and play UConn close if they are the next opponent and I'll be very hopeful for a 2 seed.
Beat UConn in that game and I'd be VERY surprised if Marquette stayed on the 3 line.

If I was on the committee and watched Wisky/Iowa last night I would be inclined NOT to put Wisconsin in the field and have serious reservations about Iowa as well.

How a team looks in a single game is irrelevant. Tourney bids are about what teams earned them, not about which teams are the best. Iowa has all but earned their bid already. Wisconsin still has work to do to earn theirs.

This exactly. Honestly, eye test is your worst friend when it comes to evaluating teams for inclusion/exclusion/seeding. It's also why I don't put much stock in Marquette's H2H win over Baylor. Better to just say "win over #12 NET team at home" while Baylor's best home win is over #6. It's just a data point, nothing to make too sweeping of conclusions from.

kpom has Bucky at 64 and Buckeyes at 63.  Those early NC wins for tOSU must count for a lot

Eh...both teams suck.

Bucky media knows they need to start beating the drums now

The only surprise is he beat Potrykus. I'm sure there's a few teams behind the Badgers that could do a similar comparison.

Dude doesn't understand how the NET is used, gets upset when people try to explain it saying he knows, but then continues to show he doesn't know.   Isn't it his JOB to understand?!

He's a content farmer. He just shotguns out stuff to get badger fans to hate click or love click. He's not doing any critical thinking on his best day, and this one isn't his best day.

  ok, does uconn's win over alabama back on nov. 25 (82-67) when they were ranked #18 bring their net higher than ours by 5-6 spots?  we split our season series although the margins of victory were significant

The NET's "special sauce" is leaving a bad taste in the mouth for many fans.

It's really not all that complicated. Beat quality teams, especially away from home. Try to outscore them as much as possible. Hope your out of conference opponents do the same. Don't have bad losses.

UConn's NET is a reflection of their OOC wins at the beginning of the year. Beating Oregon, Alabama and Iowa State on a neutral floor, plus a win in Florida and a home win v. Oklahoma State is really good work.  They are ranked ahead of Marquette because our OCC included a home and neutral floor loss.

Yes they had some bad losses that Marquette has avoided in conference, but their positive upside way outshines that downside.

They also did a whole lot of that outscoring as much as possible in the non con.

Uconns high NET is def not a mystery.

Yep. Let's be Big Boys and accept the NET that we have. it's not like there is anything we can do about it except perhaps win the BET. Oh, and hope those above us on the reveal screw up.

Amen.    The die is cast.    MU has had a phenomenal year.     

[We R Final Four]

After the reveal was revealed.....isnt the NET irrelevant for the remainder of the year? What ever your NET is at this point got you the seed that you now have....if your a top four seed. What matters is IU, ISU, KSU, BAY  etc. who are directly in front of and directly behind us to continue to lose. Which as of late, has happened.
