ISR March to Madness thread

O, those are all the ones that have Iowa and Houston high too. So you agree with those when comparing Oklahoma State and Virginia but not Iowa, Houston, and maybe a few selective others?

NET is not supposed to be doing what the advanced metric rankings are doing. They are supposed to be looking at who you have beaten and who you have lost to and so it makes no sense to have a team like Houston ranked where they are or Iowa.
If you want to just use the advanced metrics to seed teams I am fine with that but that is not what NET is and that is why it is a mess.
Maybe you don't understand the difference between placed like KP an NET.

Not completely no but I know Iowa and Houston have a similar ranking using either so I guess I'm missing your point to some degree. SOR is more of what you think NET is or should be doing. NET is kind of a combination and I think that's what it's supposed to be
 
Vital win for ISU tonight. They all are from here on out. You can maybe afford to lose @ K-St. and @ Baylor. ISU takes care of business at home v.s. OU, Okie Light, and WVU they are in.

I think 2 more wins might get them in, but 3 more is a lock. Doesn't even matter where the wins come from.

I think this will end up being the game that turned season back around. When you're on a losing streak getting off it is the hardest. I think this loosens team up a bit and they go 4-1 to close year with a loss @Baylor.
 
2 will be enough. If we get to 19 wins we’ll be on the bubble but will have one of the strongest resumes of the entire tournament as far as Q1 wins goes. We’ll be First Four at the worst.
Possibly. It then depends on how much If at all the bubble shrinks. It's important to remember when looking at these brackets that it's likely that at least a couple teams steal a bid. Teams like Georgetown last year or I could see a team like St Bonaventure winning Atlantic 10 but then Davidson gets an at large.
 
I'll say it...NET makes no sense.

ISU wins on the road @ 53 (at the time) TCU and moves up 1 spot. Thought they'd get more of a bump.
