It has been pointed out that playing on a winning team helps ones chances for a NPOY, and Edey has benefitted from how Purdue has done most of the season.
I wonder if the reverse is true too. Does having a likely NPOY “increase our stock” in the eyers of the bracket committee? I know a lot of seeding is based metrics (NET, etc) and pre-defined rules, but no doubt there will always be a subjective element to it. So does the fact that Purdue has a likely NPOY help our odds of getting a 1 seed (or a higher seed no matter where we fall)?
