NET Rankings

[Chuck A]

The Valley finally slips below The American and into 10th place in the NET rankings.

I still see us at 9. https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/ ... conference

At the time I posted, that was the case at Warren Nolan's site. Glad it's back to "normal".

It was 10 yesterday. Looks like the MVC/AAC are trading 9/10 day-by-day.

9 or 10, the Valley has secured itself as a top-10 conference this season.

the person that did this thinks that the variance needs to be more than 50 positions to be significant? I think there is a pretty significant difference between #6 and #55, # 49 and #97, or #23 and # 72.

My main takeaway from this is how much KenPom favors the big schools more than NET, which I always thought. Never was a huge fan of KenPom.

Ken Pom doesn't favor big schools. He favors efficiency on both offense and defense.

In the nonconference, it's a much easier task to have good efficiency numbers when you play the worst teams in Division I at home and/or are a good team. Like most metrics, things tend to plateau during conference play when you should be competing against similarly talented teams.

Another reason why the nonconference season is important. Regardless of the metric, you don't generally see a ton of movement during the conference season, aside from those teams who end up going XX-1 during league play.

It's been mentioned several times by people on this board: scheduling is probably the biggest advantage the power schools have. The metrics are symptoms.

Good to finish OOC in 9th and with a winning percentage over .600, but ISU, Valpo, and Murray State being over 200 and 300 in Valpo's case isn't good.

I don't think any of us are terribly surprised that Valpo is where they are but it's Murray that's the killer. Brought enough back where you thought they'd be better and they regressed. Bad deal.
