Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5264235, member: 1969"] NET is almost entirely based on margin of victory (adjusted to schedule strength). We are getting crushed because of our first 3 games. As for poor sportsmanship. We were fighting for our lives against 3 cupcakes. Those games had nothing do with sportsmanship on our part. (although I don't think you were implying that) NET is too margin based and doesn't appear to have any caps built in, which would be nice. But I think its more then fair for a system to consider how much Syracuse struggled against really bad teams. Thankfully, the NCAA tournament selection is still a W/L game, and a quality of record game so the individual NET can get mostly pushed aside, and its still a fact that we have no bad losses. Unfortunately that is where the ACC's OOC as a whole is really hurting us, because we just aren't going to get enough Q1 and Q2 opportunities. [/QUOTE]
