I still don’t have a clear understanding of Quad wins and losses. Is it all based on final position? If you beat a “top tier (Q1)” team early in the season and they fall off and end up being a Q3 team in the end, was you win a Q1 or a Q3?
If you lose to a Q4 team early but they exceed expectations over the season and end up a Q2 team, is it an OK (Q2) loss instead of a Q4?

Pretty sure it’s about the end of the season rankings in the NET. Selection and others can give definitive answers.
It's fluid and constantly changing. That's why you cheer for teams you beat to do well.

I don't. But I got called out by several for saying Missouri was bad.

You also said Penn State had a much better roster than Minnesota in the off season.

Looks like I was wrong on that. With that said, they have as many B1G wins as we do and beat a ranked team.

Yep, also, they beat a ranked team and have as many B1G wins as us. FWIW.

They also lost to Bucknell and lost to the worst coach in B1G history per some at home.

Yeah, I'm glad we beat them. They are pretty bad this year.

Always want to avoid bad losses, obviously, but they do happen quite often, even to good teams.
Case in point, Northwestern lost to Chicago State. That one loss is pretty much the albatross dragging down the 'Cats' NET ranking (#55). Resume-wise, they're a tournament team in pretty much every other way.

We're told that Clem's record was bad his first two seasons here, so yes, we're going to the Sweet Sixteen this year.
As long as Ben is the next Coach K or at least the next Clem Haskins, all is well.
The NIT is pickier these days...
That guy is the real deal. Took Kennesaw State from really bad to tournament in a couple years. Starting a similar trajectory at South Florida.
What's the name of that 3rd tier tourney after the NIT? I'm thinking we might find a slot there
CBI and those are mid majors. Minnesota may want to relegate to the horizon league and compete there

I don’t think Kansas will fall that far.
Power 5 teams almost never play in those anymore. Though Ben could do his non-conference scheduling there.

Top B1G game of the week so far? Northwestern’s OT loss at Purdue. Looking towards Saturday, N’W played a helluva game at Purdue to nearly beat them for the 2nd time this year and lost in overtime. They are a disciplined, veteran team with good guards and solid post play. It will be a tough game for our boys in maroon and gold and they can not spot Northwestern a big halftime lead.
Go Gophers!

Green Bay won earlier today. Beat IUPUI 79-56
10 out of the last 12 for the Phoenix
Why the 11:00 start? Dang that is early. Oddly enough when they played IUPUI on the road that was also the start time on Jan 10th which is a Wednesday.

Run the same thing through the computer adding "and shot 38 fewer free throws."
See what comes out.

Just read it was some kind of local school day, so the 11 a.m. start was a field trip time for local elementary schools. Kinda cool.
Making a game of it….

OT in Lincoln, why wasn't Wilcher on the floor for that last possession?
