Maryland at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

For whatever reason, it almost appeared that Maryland was content to even be in the game during last 5 mins or so...like 'whatever we will prob lose but we did well' sort of a vibe. Very good team, but not sure they have the killer instinct yet. Braden was reason we willed to a W, but just felt like MD was the better team overall.
The battle between TKR and Queen was very interesting. I wish TKR could pass out of the post every now and then. It's becoming a black hole in there. And sometimes Smith and TKR think they're the only players on the court. Even though we didn't have a ton of turnovers, there was a bad one mid-second half that was primarily due to that issue.
 
Do you have a source for this? I do not believe this at all but will admit to being wrong if you show me. I know exactly ho2 the quad system works and the more quad 1 and 2 wins you have and better your record vs them, the higher your NET ranking. To say the quad wins matyer but your ranking doesnt is the same thing as saying your kenpom metrics matter but your ranking based off those metrics doesnt matter.

That is to say thats an oxymoron.

Our NET will jump big time I think with this win as it had maryland 11th going into the game. Our kenpom has been updated and we dropped. Had the lead stayed 10 we would have slightly improved.

OBviously the win is what matters but that last 60 seconds was unfortunate with maryland hitting 2 chuck 3s to close it out and us missing some fts.

What is NET?
The NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET) is a rankings system used by the NCAA Tournament to assist in seeding teams for the NCAA Tournament. The system is based on game results, strength of schedule, game location and net offensive and defensive efficiency.

Is the NET the only tool used to seed teams?
No. If it were then predicting a bracket ahead of time would be very easy. NCAA Committee members are given NET as one of their tools to help them seed teams. Committee members will also look at the data points that make up the NET rankings and other metrics to help seed teams.


The key really with all of it is, what has the committee always said: Play a good schedule, play games on the road, and win. That's the point of the quads. Also, take a look at last year's NET rankings from the end of the regular season. Why didn't everyone's darling, Indiana State, make the field? Because they were 1-4 in Q1 games. Yet their NET was 28, ahead of 15!!!!! teams that actually DID make the field - as at-large bids, not AQs.

We have learned that playing a tough schedule - as long as you are competitive - not only helps you with seeding but helps you in March
 
Purdue will be ok. Maryland is a good team. If we can get a 3-6 seed in Midwest region, that’s all that matters.

My eyes,,........even though they lost MD pretty darn good. Top tier B10 team.

If he can get by Bittle of Oregon, Queen consistent play like that will lead to 1st team All B10. Pro

It’s December - we’ve beaten Bama, Ole Miss, NC State, and a one loss extremely talented Maryland team today - these games make you better in March - could care less what we are now
I agree I was responding to someone that said we would go up in kenpom with the win.

I feel we arent quite getting the full bump our tough schedule says it should

Thanks for this but this didnt at all say NET rankings dont mean anything. There are always outliers like Indiana State last year as no metric system is perfect, but the NET has been much better than the absolute joke that the RPI was.

He asked the WRONG guy for evidence!!! Great job!!!
 
Late to the game but want the entire point was that our net would be negatively affected by game difference of win of 5 vs 10? So then the question is by how much?
Really very little if anything. Some of the stuff I linked talked about how MOV has been taken out of the formulas.

Damn only moved up 3 spots in NET. The NET is very unfavorable toward us this year and I dont get it with us having one of the hardest SOS so far to boot and having 2 neutral court wins as well
 
Like how is OSU not to mention multiple other big ten teams ahead of us. Absurd. Hopefully it balances out as we go on but 10 games is a solid sample size by now

Because NET is just one of many metrics used. It isn’t the greatest because it values blow outs more than beating a team by 5-10. Also it’s VERY early in the season still and it will continue to change.
 
Also, it does not matter much at this point and as long as Purdue gets a 3-6 seed in the midwest region, that’s all the really matters IMO
I agree and I expect it to change. Im not outraged, it just is weird. OSUs sos is way worse than ours and a worse record. In metric only things like kenpom they are quite a bit below us.

Just odd net is so down on us
