2021 NET Rankings Thread (Initial rankings 1/4/21)

WSU is ranked #7 in KenPom in LUCK

it’s true, LOL. How many games have we won after the opponent hit a late banked in desperation 3 pointer? These are historically guaranteed losses.

You Are What Your Record Says You Are...

If 3-4 of our close wins turn into losses (which they easily could've and probably should've) this season has a totally different feeling. And we're talking matters of 2-3 points. WSU is very fortunate to be 13-4.

We aren’t that efficient and extremely lucky.

winning close games is good but margin of victory would help the net.

[David Rahm]

Ludicrous, isn't it?
We deserve far better.
Yet another screw job.

We probably will make it, but it is totally wrong that we have this struggle year in and year out.
It shouldn't be this uncertain based on pedigree and result.

Need to go back to the drawing board on this system.

I just don’t get it

As of now, our Shockers (13-4) are #73 in kenpom. Just behind Mississippi State (12-11) and just in front of Northwestern (6-14). .....woohoo

The NET is definitely broken this season. With games in the non-con, full tourneys, and conference matchups being shuffled around (or lost).

Outside the Quad 2 measurement, WSU is stronger in every way. Maybe that Q2 means that much.

It has to be WSU home losses and their NET Efficiency holding them back.

[Shock Top]

Jumped about 10 spots to 68 in the NET.

Houston down 3 to 8

That's a tourney Level Resume IMO

Oh and for reference, here is Drakes, who everyone still thinks is in ...

One other thing of note. Our 2 Q4 games are

Temple: 161
Oral Roberts 185

To become Q3 games they need to be Top 160. Temple has a good shot at ending Top 160. Oral Roberts has an outside chance with 4 games left to move to Q3 also. We could realistically end up with 1 Q4 game and possibly none.

If we can climb another 8 spots in kenpom, we will catch 7-13 Kentucky.

That would be very tragic. It seems I read on here the other day that there are only 2 other conferences that have all their teams in the Top-100 (or maybe Top-150). Logic would say that bodes well for the AAC to get multiple bids. If the league finishes that way and doesn't get multiple bids...well...I suppose the P5 bias rears it's ugly head again.

It was the Top-150. Both Temple (158) and Tulane (151) have fallen out of the top 150. But these two are better than the bottom of all the other conferences minus the Big 10 and SEC. Our three conferences are also the only three conferences without a Q4 loss.
