They have an unusually high number of quad 1 wins for someone with that bad of a net ranking.
Seems like every time they could get that one win to put them in they lose.
Hopefully ISU sees someone else. ISU could beat them but I don't want to hear from Bucky fans.
I hope we avoid playing Pitt.
I just know Hinson would go off against us.

So when people say we have no chance of getting DM, my question is asked again....can only local teams of the state only get seeds of 1-4 there, versus still getting put there as a 5,6,or 7?
He's had a monster year.....still wonder what happened there. I mean, he didn't leave cuz Prohm exit, it was like right before the season started after his sit out year.
Anything is possible, but seeds 1-4 get preferential treatment in regards to location. They definitely would not allow us to play in Des Moines as a high seed playing a lower seed. Seeds 5-7 is where things get iffy.
It used to be that local teams not seeded 1-4 would not be placed close so that the 1-4s would not play a team that is closer than them and have a crowd advantage. Have heard that it is still a thing and have heard that it is followed as much, so basically I don't know.
And we went from 28 to 19 in the NET.
Interestingly, Baylor remained unchanged with their loss at 12.
so how big is either of those rankings...used alot by committee or just nice to knows??
Just to be clear...then Iowa can't get placed there either, correct?? (would tick me off)

Wonder if teams like NC, Iowa, or Nova moved in the Quads and that helped us.
Which ones cant shoot the 3 and cant tightly guard the perimeter? Cuz thats who we want lol
Does Drake just replace Bradley as the 12 if they win today? I know the committee says they never do it, but there seem to be "coincidental" match-ups every yeay and I could see ISU vs Drake as one of those. Not sure how I'd feel about that match-up.
The committee is given team sheets with rankings from NET, KenPom, Sagarin, Strength of Record, and KPI. Supposedly, NET is given the most weight by most members.

Big move up in NET.
If ISU wins the Thursday game they could be looking at a 5 seed again if things fall into place

From the way it sounds. When they meet, by friday/saturday timeframe, they have the teams seedings basically 95% ironed out. They just wait to see if there are an autos that may slip in and if a team can pop up a notch or two due to conference tourney performance. Sunday is just a little movement and final location placements.
