"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."

Bracketology: What's changed with the NCAA's NET rankings tool? - ESPN
Joe Lunardi, Senior Writer
Posted: 05/12/20, 8:00am, cst
The NCAA announced this week that the way it measures its NET rankings will change. These are the details behind the changes.
". The best way to think of TVI and adjusted efficiency may be with a pair of questions: Who did you play and how did you play? RPI was primarily a measure of the "who," whereas the first iteration of NET was a reasonable attempt at measuring the "how." This newly revised and still undisclosed NET formula appears to be an attempt to combine the two, while retaining an increased emphasis on the "how" and perhaps eliminating some of the less-than-credible early-season NET releases.
With the precise calculations kept confidential, we are left for now to compare metrics in the public domain. From my seat, the best "comp" for TVI will be ESPN's strength of record (as part of its Basketball Power Index, or BPI). The top public efficiency ratings in college basketball remain those of the inimitable Ken Pomeroy, or KenPom. Aspiring bracketologists will want to bookmark those sites in addition to the daily NET updates from the NCAA beginning in December."

"...college basketball's Way-Too-Early Top 25 for 2020-21" - ESPN

"We still have to wait nearly two months to finalize offseason movement for the 2020-21 men's college basketball season, but at least we now have a date: Aug. 3. The NCAA announced earlier this month that its deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA draft and maintain college eligibility will be either Aug. 3 or 10 days after the NBA draft combine, whichever comes first. Given that it's highly unlikely that the combine comes before August, let's assume the deadline will be Aug. 3.
That gives us about a month and a half before we'll know what the college basketball landscape will look like for the upcoming season, though players will announce their draft decisions before then, too...."

"The NCAA's deadline for underclassmen to withdraw from the 2020 NBA Draft came and went Monday. So while it's still possible for players to leave college and pursue professional opportunities before the start of the 2020-21 season, we now finally know, for the most part, how everybody's roster should look.
So this is a fresh Top 25 And 1....
Teams of Interest
14. Houston Cougars (Previous: 14)
Nate Hinton's decision to leave school early, combined with Fabian White's torn ACL, is a blow to Houston's rotation; it means the Cougars are now losing two of their top four scorers. But four of the top six are still returning - most notably Caleb Mills and former McDonald's All-American Quentin Grimes. So Kelvin Sampson's team should be strong again and in position to win the American Athletic Conference for what would be the third consecutive season.
25. Memphis (previous: 25)
The late addition of Moussa Cisse, a five-star center talented enough to be the best rim protector in college basketball as a freshman, was a massive development for Memphis. The 6-11 shot blocker could make the Tigers even better defensively than they were last season when they ranked fifth nationally in defensive efficiency. He'll join a roster highlighted by sophomores D.J. Jeffries, Boogie Ellis and Lester Quinones, all of whom are also former top-60 prospects. So Penny Hardaway should have his alma mater in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014...."
