RPI

NET is still partially a black box. I am weary of any algorithm that isn't fully published. With that said, it is more accurate if you ask me.

Altho NCAA has not revealed their NET formula, it’s pretty well known that it involves preseason ranking and opponents’ strength of schedule as well as all the other factors we know about ( W-L, opponents’ record, road vs home and even 20+ winning margin)

so obviously the formula is biased because the preseason ranking never see the unexpected strong mid-majors (like BU & Evansville) and all P-5 teams tend to have stronger schedules because the top P-5 opponents have to play them but can refuse to play midmajors.

NET was devised to help the 5, 6, 7th teams in P-5 conferences get in over the 1-2nd best teams in midmajor conferences.
 
Amazingly, last night's clunker only dropped us three spots in the RPI. We're still #4 in the nation, so all is not lost! Let's start another win streak Saturday, protect the home court, and not dig ourselves a hole in the MVC race.

And if we shoot FTs well in the new PIA unis, I say keep 'em! ;)
