The Annual Bubble Discussion Thread - 2021 Version

Yes. NET is garbage and I bet the rating Colgate gets this year will be sufficient to retire it or significantly rework it. It means very little.

It's severely flawed for sure.

North Carolina has 4 bigs better than Sidibe.
They don’t even have any shooting but they have legitimate big play.

 

[samspann1]

Colgate has 0 Q1 games, is 2-0 in Q2 (2 wins at Army NET 118). Honestly cannot imagine the algorithm that has their NET so high.

I thought that this was you:

JB can still Coach

Jesse’s quick foul trouble today suggests he’s not ready for PT Thank god he was ready against UNC or we would’ve lost.

True. Especially for a season played in a pandemic. But this one is awful and needs to be changed.

Even Kenpom has Kentucky who is 9-15, 47th who is 6 spots ahead of syracuse. Obviously this metric is much better when a full season is played. But yes, the Colgate net ranking has to show how bad that ranking system is.

The one thing I do like about the net is the breakdown of Q1, Q2 wins and losses and such. I think that is a really good way to help compare opportunities and teams rather than just top 25 games.

St John’s just tied up Seton Hall...

St John’s just tied up Seton Hall...

St John’s up 8

Seems like the Johnnies score every time down the court. Pirates can’t play defense.

 

[ORRange]

Strange, I've never rooted for St John's. What a great turnaround.

 

[orangenauburn]

Beat NC State and I think we are in.

Ville sitting at 13-6 after today and they were supposed to play @vir instead of a home game.
Cancelled at virginia, us twice at vt. We only got cancelled FSU
Wake 90% chance to tack on another W for us.
Can't remember but I think they got 2-3 tier twos to our 4.

That margin of 6-8 looking a lot more slender. If we canceled just one let alone two of our road losses we would probably be a solid lock.

 

[sutomcat]

Beat NC State and I think we are in.

Seton Hall down 8 with 23 seconds left. Game over. They have to win the NBET to get in now.

The SHU and St Louis losses are going to put us in the field on a bunch more brackets. Nice...

Not anymore don’t worry about it

 

[Orangezoo]

How is Seton Hall ahead of us?

Yeah there are a few teams you can say that about on that list.

 

[Cusefan0307]

How is Seton Hall ahead of us?

Lol it’s Lunardi. I bet we will be ahead of them on the Matrix by after the weekend.

 

[skurey]

When does bracket matrix update
