Maybe. Who knows what the selection committee will do this year under special circumstances.

True, but doesn't the NET factor in and weigh road victories more than home wins?

Would they completely change their evaluation tool for this 1 year? Looking at college football, most teams have some fans in the stands right now, so I don't see them changing the NET calculations when there are still true road and home games, even if there are few or no fans in the stands.

NET does take those things into account (though I think they are using a new formula this year, need to look into what has changed). The selection committee can decide to not use NET though, or at least weigh it less in their decision making process.

Yeah, they're removing winning percentage metrics and scoring margin. So even more weight on the TVI that's a complete black box. Game location is definitely a factor, both in TVI and in efficiency rating.

DI men’s basketball committee announces change to NET in 2020-21

The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee announced a change to the NCAA Evaluation Tool metric, which debuted during the 2018-19 season and replaced the RPI as the primary sorting tool.

And yes, certainly the committee can adjust how it uses the NET in making its selections.

I haven't but with the cancelation of the Orlando tournaments, I saw where VCU had only 1 scheduled game (at LSU) on its OOC schedule at present. Yikes.
