CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 At the risk of the team falling flat and missing the tournament, I'm going to try to update this topic on a weekly basis with the metrics that the NCAA selection committee will be able to use to select the field. As a refresher, here are those metrics: NET (https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings) KenPom (https://kenpom.com/index.php) KPI (http://www.kpisports.net/2019kpi-dimbb/) ESPN's Strength of Record (http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/dir/asc/view/overview/sort/sorrank) ESPN BPI (http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi) Sagarin: (http://sagarin.com/sports/cbsend.htm) Here is where we currently rate: NET: 29 (not updated through Purdue game) KenPom: 36 KPI: 47 ESPN SOR: 33 ESPN BPI: 37 Sagarin: 25 The six scores average out to a score of 35. This would put us as a 9 seed in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 that could float anywhere from a 10 seed up to a 8 seed depending on how they want to match us up or how well we play down the stretch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Nevada, for example, they are entrenched as a tournament team. What happens if they don't win their conference tournament? Same could be said for Gonzaga. Some of this stuff affects other team's seeding. Let's say IU finishes the B1G 10-10, but yet wins the CT. Lots of variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the committee won't just average these metrics and then seed the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the committee won't just average these metrics and then seed the field. Nothing wrong with that. I always think of that 00-01 team that was on again, off again. Then they got hot at the tail end. But there is no way they deserved a 4 seed. Variables!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Update: NET (https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/basketball-men/d1/ncaa-mens-basketball-net-rankings) KenPom (https://kenpom.com/index.php) KPI (http://www.kpisports.net/2019kpi-dimbb/) ESPN's Strength of Record (http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/dir/asc/view/overview/sort/sorrank) ESPN BPI (http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi) Sagarin: (http://sagarin.com/sports/cbsend.htm) Here is where we currently rate: NET: 42 KenPom: 44 KPI: 53 ESPN SOR: 40 ESPN BPI: 40 Sagarin: 35 The six scores average out to a score of 42.

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 NET: 44 KenPom: 45 KPI: 48 ESPN SOR: 40 ESPN BPI: 40 Sagarin: 35 Averages out to 42 and a 10-11 seed just like earlier in the week. The Rutgers loss and MSU win basically cancelled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
