NET question

[Sean Miller Fan]

In one of the games I was watching this week, the announcer said the committee does not use NET as a selection criteria and only uses it to make the quadrants for Q1 wins, Q2 wins, etc. Is that true? I remember they used to use RPI as basically the be all end all to pick and seed the field but since they've gotten away from RPI, do they not technically use one of those metrics?

Like when they get Wake's team sheet, it would have their quad records, overall record, sos, etc but would it NOT have their NET ranking if they arent supposed to use that?

Unless they changed them from last year, the team sheets that the committee members use not only has a team's NET ranking on it, it also has their Pomeroy and Sagarin and ESPN rankings on it.

That's close, but that's not an actual team sheet, that is that site's version of the team sheets. The real team sheets no longer have any reference to RPI on them, and as I said they do include the Pomeroy, Sagarin and ESPN rankings. Here is what Baylor's actual team sheet looked like last year shortly before the end of the season:

Remember when I said a few weeks ago that I and most people on here know more about college basketball than the TV people. I meant that. And this is an example. I knew that didnt sound right.

I heard an Spalatola say today he'd foul down 2 once it goes under 10 seconds. 10 seconds!!!! So you're up 3 with 10 seconds, send a guy to the line and he cuts to 1. Inbound, foul with 8.8 seconds. Miss first, make 2nd. Now you're only up 2 and the other team has 8.8 seconds to tie or beat you.

You should ONLY foul at under 5 seconds. Preferably under 4 seconds.

So to recap, the proof that you know more about college basketball than someone else is the fact that someone said something and you had to ask someone else if it was true or not.

Yes because I thought he was wrong but I gave him too much credit since he's on ESPN and Im only on SMFN

So in other words, you really didn't know any more than the guy who didn't know.

Yes, it is clearly incorrect to think that you know more than someone who says something and you have no idea if what they said is true or not.

Correct.
