Absolutely. Has been a good pipeline for us. Keep ‘em coming to the home of the spider.

Their guards got their ticket punched!

Wagner is indeed going dancing after winning the NEC tourney as a 6-seed.

292 NET
0-2 Q1
0-0 Q2

11-10 Q4

Even the 40s are a toss-up.

2023
30s: 8 of 9 at-large candidates got bids (#38 North Texas missed)
40s: 6 out of 10
50s: 1 out of 4
60s: 2 out of 10
70s: 0 out of 10

2022
30s: 8 out of 10 (#39 Oklahoma missed)
40s: 4 out of 9
50s: 3 out of 8
60s: 1 out of 8
70s: 1 out of 10

Bringing this back up for 2024 to see how the large number of bid stealers affected things.

20s: 8 out of 9 (#28 Indiana State missed)
30s: 8 out of 10 (#32 St. John's and #37 Cincinnati missed)
40s: 3 out of 9
50s: 3 out of 6
60s: 0 out of 9
70s: 0 out of 9

#54 UVA had the worst NET to receive an at-large.

So, do we still believe that NET is "only one tool" that the committee uses? 🤣

certainly seems like they consider it an important one.
if you're not top 54 NET, you're not in.

 

[Eight Legger]

Agreed. Seems to me like it's the only tool they really care about if you're not a P6.

 

[8legs1dream]

like anything else they will lean on it when it is to their advantage and overlook it when it does not.

How many of the 68 teams in the NCAAs would the Spiders beat?

Maybe half on a given day

 

[Marsh Hall Donkey]

I don't think we have the depth to win 34 games in one day.

 

[URWilk110]

Seems like there is a certain cutoff point where your NET alone can get you in regardless of the quality of your non conference schedule. Once you are below that line it looks like you need to have at least a couple non-conference Q1 and Q2 wins. The Big12 scheduling allowed for many of their teams to have very high NET rankings without having any non-conf Q1 or Q2 wins. I think UVA made it over a couple other bubble teams because they were 2-2 non-conference Q1/Q2 with vs say an Indiana Stat that was 0-2. So you either have to be in a conference that piles up the non conference wins in general so you have a shot to have a very high NET regardles of overall record/quality of OOC wins OR take advantage of your limited opportunities for OOC Q1/Q2 wins. And also blow out the Q4 teams you play, especially OOC.

Weren't there teams above UVA in the NET that didn't get a bid?
