NET seems to be the most popular topic on the BB board these days, at least w/r to why our NET is so low compared to other teams and how that impacts our tourney chances.
And then the closely related Q1/Q2 wins and Q3/Q4 losses are another popular topic.
So here’s a good question for you. Last I recall our UNC and MIAMI wins are only Q2 wins because both of their NET rankings fall just outside of the Q1 limit. So we have another game remaining with each. Let’s say for theoretical talking purposes, UNC beating Pitt in our upcoming game would push our 1st win against them up to a Q1 whereas us winning would end up giving us 2 Q2 wins. Same with Miami, lose the next one and it pushes our 1st win up to Q1 vs win both and they both end up Q2 wins.
So who should I be rooting for, Pitt in those games or UNC/Miami to further Pitt’s tourney chances?
And before jumping on me over this, I’m more than half joking with this question, just thought of it as a little humorous given all this supposed significance of Q1 vs Q2 wins, etc.
