Topic: NET rankings

[herdorbust2]

We are still #77 out of 363 schools. That puts us in the top 21% of all teams. The net takes into consideration schedule, efficiency, where you win, etc,,, so I think we are doing pretty good this year. All 4 losses were winnable and we beat ourselves. Bottom line we still have a good rating according to what the NCAA uses. And during the App St/ JMU game last night the announcers started talking about how good we were and a really fun brand of ball we play. They were very impressed with us.

 FWIW: Pomeroy has MU at #80 and Sagarin has MU at #92. Net has JMU at #87; Toledo at #113; Akron at #132; Ohio U at #135; Miami of Ohio at #322  :o. Duquesne at #126 and Queens at #180. I didn't check the rest of our opponents, but it appears that JMU is the highest ranked team we have played. It appears that we luck out with the MAC teams since we didn't play Kent State #53. Chuggy Bear's team is ranked at #20.

FWIW: Pomeroy has MU at #80 and Sagarin has MU at #92. Net has JMU at #87; Toledo at #113; Akron at #132; Ohio U at #135; Miami of Ohio at #322  :o. Duquesne at #126 and Queens at #180.

All I know is the NET ranking the the NCAA uses has us as one of the top 21% of teams in basketball. I'll take it. And chuggy Bear is looking at a bunch of losses the rest of the season. He is a good coach back in the day but can't keep up with recruiting and offenses have passed him by. He keeps trying to retool his roster every year and it's not working. WV is out of their league in the Big 12. And I couldn't be happier. 2018-2019 WV was 15-21. Last year 16-17. And will be lucky to be .500 at the end of this year.

FWIW: I went and checked out the rest of the schedule: Net rankings; Tenn Tech #306; Coppin State #277; Chicago State #294; Morehead State #282; Robert Morris #246; CCU #248; GA Southern #209'; UNCG #144. Southern Miss is currently #65.

Huggins is essentially a disciple of Joe B Hall's philosophy of fouling so much that the refs stop blowing their whistles.

Huggins needs a CPAP machine while he's awake.

To maintain or enhance our NET standing, we certainly can't endure too many more losses this season to those folks around the 195 mark and lower!

And apparently, bust, his "fellow tool", Gordy Geek, and the other WVU hierarchy can't afford to buy Chuggins out!!  Breaks my heart!  ;D

for comparison, not much difference at all and we have more teams.....

Surprising Net rating of  FLA Atlantic #13 and North Texas #38. CUSA might be a two bid league this year?

Could, I guess.  But too many times I see the committee take a .500 or just above acc or b1g team instead.

I just looked at NTSU out of conference schedule and it is really weak, I doubt they would be an at large bid. Scheduling is important. I starting to doubt the NET rankings, but it is still early in the season.

I have only seen 1 UNT game and in that one they looked very good

I hope the game you watch wasn't NTSU against Paul Quinn. ;)

[GreenWhite]

Could, I guess.  But too many times I see the committee take a .500 or just above acc or b1g team instead.

I've also seen them change the criteria after schedules have been made to keep the smaller schools out. Strength of schedule used to be the main criteria. Then it was RPI. Then it was Net and whatever else. Schools from SB, CUSA, MAC etc. will not get those multiuple bids.

[herd2win]

Same as with CUSA, none of the ratings matter as we have not played or will play any team in the top 50.  We need to fix the defensive lapses and get hot tournament time and then get a good match up in the NCAA.

Then it's the "eye " test. Give me a break. When you make the rules you're hard to beat.

[Luke80]

Even if FAU wins out their NET ranking could drop because they won?t get the chance for a Quad 1 win.  The big conference teams win by playing each other.  FAU has been good, but they?re going to drop some road games.  It?s not out of the question for CUSA to get 2 bids, but it?s still unlikely.

Obviously, FT2, you HAVE NOT seen the Paul Quinn CHEERLEADERS this season!!  ;D  ;)

When it comes to the NCAA tourney selection process and the so-called "eye" test, the key is:  whose eyes are doing the observing!!
