2022-23 NET rankings and metrics

[MobileMunchies]

The NCAA will try to get us out quick. I am calling a 9 seed.

I swear, I've seen while searching which is all I do on twitzer, saying they don't wanna face VCU. Even when we weren't "in" they were saying this. Announcers saying they're a team to fear right now.

You'll hear more about this in the coming days, book it.


THEY DON'T WANNA GO TO WAAAAR.....

At-Large Breakdown (36 bids per yr) since 2013 (P6 vs non-P6):
2013 - 25 vs 11
2014 - 26 vs 10
2015 - 29 vs 7
2016 - 31 vs 5
2017 - 32 vs 4
2018 - 31 vs 5
----------------------------------------
2019 - 30 vs 6 (beginning of NET era)
2020 - 30 vs 6 (COVID yr; projected)
2021 - 31 vs 5
2022 - 29 vs 7
2023 - 32 to 4 (some projections right now w/ A-10 as a 1-bid league*)


Resumes/metrics for "bubblers" Nevada, UNC, Clemson, Rutgers, Miss St, VCU, NC State, Pitt, and Ariz St can all provide legitimate reasons for inclusion/exclusion. (See Bracketologists comparison tool)

Political clout/influence/representation in the selection room will likely rule the day. NCAA (at-large) bids represent money, prestige, power, etc to (and for) conferences and affect jobs, careers, reputations, exposure, upward mobility, future success, TV contracts, recruiting, etc.

The selection decision(s) (and contingencies, if any) almost certainly were reached (one way or the other) last night (shortly after the conclusion of the FAU-UAB game).

Tidbits:
1) 2018 - A-10 got 2 at-large bids as the 10th ranked conf in KenPom.
2) 2019 - A-10 got 1 at-large bid as the 11th ranked conf in KenPom.
3) 2022 - A-10 got 1 at-large bid as the 10th ranked conf in KenPom.
4) 2023 - A-10 got x at-large bids as the 12th ranked conf in KenPom.

If VCU does not dance, it will be a first for the A-10 in many areas since we joined (2013):
1) A regular season champion is not selected
2) A 26-win team is not selected
3) A regular season champion and tourney finalist is not selected
4) A-10 is a one-bid league

thank you for doing this research. not big enough of sample size to draw any conclusions, but not looking good for mid majors, especially if you factor in that p6s have figured how to schedule to rig it.

Won the regular season by 3 games and won all the tournament games by double digit

flagship

Regular season champs by three games

POY and DPOY

Tournament champs with a +14 point average scoring margin

It's almost like they're just plain better than everyone else this year.

Since Dec 11 we are 25-3 and our 3 losses are an avg of 5 pts.

That's pretty darn good.

 

[rams3fan]

58 now. KPI 34

As said, IT just DON"T matter NOW.

 

[BaNgMyPrOgRaM]

Guaranteed we get matched up with a Gonzaga or Houston. We won't get paired with a priv5.

I'd take Houston right now. Apparently being down one man (a great one) means you lose by 15

Over the last 10 games our offense cracked 100 on Torvik

87 offense
12 defense

Over the last 10 games our offense cracked 100 on Torvik

87 offense
12 defense

So, you’re saying our offensive scheme is just fine. Nice.

Something definitely changed

 

[RamDanFan]

The NET ranking is already out, which includes today’s games. We moved from 58 to 53.

I'm fine. Not sure why I wouldn't be.

Not that it matters, but VCU finishes at 53 in the NET.
Three months ago today we were at 172.
An astronomical climb out of the depths.
Historic.

One thing for sure don't bet on a Big 10 team this year. If Ohio state has been overvalued this high all year the whole conference is inflated and suspect.

With FDU dropping Purdue I think we can now conclude the suspicion about the NET rankings was justified.
