NET rankings disagree. As does KenPom. And every other prediction site to be found...

How can NET rankings disagree with a hypothetical I just made up?

 

[KptVFL]

Damn you man. That got to me! Representing Kpt

 

[drvenner]

I hope we stay a 3 because that will make the chip on our shoulder even bigger.

 

[Devo182]

I’m asking why are they ahead in NET? Do they have more top 10 wins than us? How have they played up to the competition more than we have?

Margins.

Basic analytics.

Which, shockingly, are in line with Vegas odds...people willing to put their money where their mouth is. The greatest predictor of all.

Same reason I argued VEHEMENTLY against Wisconsin. "#2 seed" according to some...while being #21 NET...#31 KenPom...and they were ranked as one of the luckiest teams in the country lol.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Memphis had dat 'ship right within its grasp. Damn yhtsi Houston rolling.

 

[Vols4us]

Let's fully enjoy the day regardless of what the tournament committee does. Our guys have a quiet edge to them when they get disrespected, which works to our collective advantage.

Throw out the stats of past tournaments with the 'this seed does this or that' over the years. The only obstacle in their path is the officials they assign to work our games. We take care of business, we win a title. We have that level of work ethic, talent and chemistry.

And Kennedy - free throws. Make them.

She's been told she's the best and been coddled her entire life. She hasn't been taught how to handle the negative. I don't think it's mental illness more that she needs to learn to handle people being mean to her.

 

[LoudOrange]

Wow. Iowa has one turnover at halftime.

 

[UTJoe]

Wellllll, Happy Birthday!!! You got yourself a great gift, my friend!

Thank you, sir! The Vols delivered a pretty nice one today

Should Texas be ahead of us too?

Um, newsflash, Tennessee was 8 in NET Rankings and Auburn was 12. Before today's game.

 

[Weezer]

Auburn is ahead of us in what? The polls? They're not ahead of us in the NET rankings. They're not ahead of us in Kenpom. So what are they ahead of us in? And like I said, we beat KY 2 out of 3 times. I get what you're saying. We will get screwed. But trying to justify it is a bunch of horse ****. It just is. There is no justification. We SHOULD absolutely be the highest seeded SEC team.

Somebody ask Devo this since he's apparently ignoring me.

Man, I bet MJ never had someone heckle him.

The greats thrive off that, use it as fuel. She very well may have some ish to deal with, but, certainly silly if you cannot handle a little ...

 

[Weezer]

Um, newsflash, Tennessee was 8 in NET Rankings and Auburn was 12. Before today's game.

We're also ahead of Auburn in KenPom.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

She broke down lost the match and then made a speech to the crowd afterwards

Thanks...I vapor locked.

Also just looked at Ken Pom. We are 7, Auburn is 10.

 

[jakez4ut]

This is updated thru today.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Kinda wish selection day was not same day as championship. Would be nice to sit in this DUB for a minute and ponder it instead we immediately get ticked at seeding. Refuse to be rustled, VN.

I think the chip on our shoulder of getting made a 3 seed will help keeping us from getting complacent after this tournament win. When we play the #2 seed in the Sweet 16 we can use that.

 

[jakez4ut]

This is thru yesterday

 

[jasonvol18]

Major League Baseball has agreed to ban the shift.

Thank God!!!

 

[jakez4ut]

We're a 2.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Talking UK vs UT. Us and Tamu, nor UK vs tamu was moving many needles. That said, it hopefully moved a tiny needle...I think that plus Duke/Purdue losses might just be enough.

UK was ahead regardless though.

I'm saying we have beaten UK twice recently..not once. It is stupid no matter how you defend it.

 

[butchna]

She broke down lost the match and then made a speech to the crowd afterwards

She wanted the lady immediately ejected (rejected request) then wanted to address the crowd before the other matches (rejected again). I could understand it more if it was a large section of the crowd, but this is embarrassing as a backdrop against the history of Naritolova and Monica Seles. I remember detesting both and so did numbers in the crowds. Only made them stronger. I miss John McEnroe.

 

[VolNash17]

Us being 7th in ken pom and looking at the past champions. Sets up well for us!

Wow...you sound like one of us common sense folks for a change.
