You guys were due for some good news. Offseason had been pretty bad overall.
I’d bet that a win against any of the teams too mentioned would increase NET score.
Northern Iowa just played themselves right off the bubble
We've had so many wins lately and our NET has dropped. It's not really about any one win this time of year. It's 25-30 other teams doing things at this point.
Because of the Coronavirus, my office is closed for at least the next 2 weeks. I'll have to work from home with post-season basketball on in the background. I'm suffering here in Seattle.
On a neutral floor I believe both Nebraska and NW are considered Quad 3 wins. I do not profess to know how the NET formula works but not sure how much a Quad 3 win "helps". I assume a 10+ point win helps a bit, but I think even a close win could hurt or be neutral. I certainly could be wrong.
@RutgHoops did I remember correctly that you are near DC?
I think they might be ok. This definitely hurts bubble teams like Purdue.
UNI has played the same amount of Q1 games as they have games against non D1 opponents (2).
Damn nice. I went the surgical route. Feel dumb now with these stupid healing wounds.
Yes. Moved to Bethesda (from NJ) 20 years ago. Wife, father in law, friends are all Terps. And you helped us get a B1G invite. I root hard for Maryland when you are not playing Rutgers. Daughter may be going to Michigan next year. That might be three B1G teams I need to root hard for.
We did not foul more. We got called more. You had 20 more free throws than us. And credit that you did make them, but we weren’t allowed to play defense and our bigs were basically fouled out all game.
We could have survived the 20 free throws more than us you were given, but you did beat us on the boards (mostly because our bigs were out, but still)
Yeah the losses do not do them any favors. I do not see them getting an at-large bid any more.
A big part of it came when we had all of our big men on the bench in foul trouble. We didn't box out multiple times while they were playing though.
Lunardi kept Northern Iowa in the bracket and now has them right next to Indiana. In what world are these two teams right next to each other? The guy has to be trolling
Indiana
5 Quad 1 wins (9-11 Quad 1-2 Record)
0 Quad 3 or below losses (Worst Loss to #43 Arkansas)
#52 SOS
Northern Iowa
1 Quad 1 win (5-3 Quad 1-2 Record)
3 Quad 3 losses to 166, 167 and 197 (two other losses to NET 98 and 99).

He’s trying to prove a point because they’re under .500 in conference, but his soap-boxing for a rule that doesn’t allow for extenuating circumstances (like a conference that had 12 teams in contention for the tourney going into February) or nuance makes him look like a ****ing idiot. Him forcing 7 pac 12 teams into the tourney is arguably more egregious.
The Pac12 is horrendous for them to have the second most teams in the field is a joke.

Because UNI won their conference and has a 23-6 overall record.
It's the age old debate of whether any regular season conference champion should get into the NCAA tournament over a team that is a few games over .500..........
(I know Indiana's record is 19-11, I meant in general)
He sucks. ESPN is pretty much worthless outside of broadcasting actual live games. Need the PTI guys and SVP to go to a different network.
UNI was not a bubble team as they were the MVC regular season champ. the same conference that produced FF team Wichita State and FF team Loyola Chicago
the MVC is not your lower level Mid major conference. UNI has been a regular in the NCAAT in the past.
MVC is considerably worse than 5-15 years ago. No Creighton or Wichita. I don't see how they can use NET sheets and give UNI a bid. Mayyyyyyyyybe first four.
None of what you said is relevant to this year.
the MVC is in a spot where they can have 2 teams in the dance this season.
they lost to Drake a school that is in Iowa, that is loaded with Iowa kids just like UNI, there was more at stake than just a MVC tourney win. there was the possibility of Drake losing for the 3rd time to UNI. not many teams can beat the same team 3 times in one season.
also UNI and Drake had just played each other on the last day of the regular season, UNI win 70-48 on Drake's home court. looks like the Drake kids had something to prove.
just like if Iowa beat Illinois Sunday then face them in the BTT it would not surprise if IIIinois beats Iowa in such a quik turn around. its very rare for any team to beat a conference team 3 times in the same season.
Hmm maybe you can fit that exposition below the lacking record in Q1&Q2 games.
they don't get that many chances to play quad 1 or 2 teams in the OOC. VERY rarely does the MVC have that many quad 1 or 2 teams in it.
And therefore, especially with no Creighton or Wichita, very rarely are they more than a 1 bid league. I do feel a bit for them, the quality of play in the league is good enough that they don't get a lot games with major conference teams (and almost never home games anymore).
No they can't. MVC is a one bid shit league nowadays
The goal is to get the 36 best at-large teams. If UNI was deserving of a spot they wouldn't lose by double digits to a bad Drake team.
The sad part is that he isn’t trolling at all. He’s just an idiot and really really bad at his job.
up to the 18-19 season UNI or Drake played either Iowa or ISU in the B-4 Tourney, but that was cancelled, when the BT went to 20 games which limited Iowa's selection of teams OOC Scheduling. to replace the B-4 game Iowa scheduled Cincinnati at a Neutral site. as the B-4 was played on a neutral court.
this hurt Drake/UNI but it helped Iowa. expecting more games like Cincinnati in the future. teams like Creighton, Missouri, Butler, Kansas or Dayton. to play Duke or Kentucky they will have to meet in the Maui Classic or another high profile preseason tourney.
which I would like to see happen.

What hurts UNI and Drake are that they aren’t good basketball teams. They would be bottom tier in the B1G year in and year out. They are on par with Northwestern.
