There once was a poster happy to explain the NET's silliness. My interest is in how the selection committee uses it (especially its use for at large selection of Power Five conferences). The RPI was a pretty good predictor of in or out. I'm guessing the NET will be the same-otherwise why have it?

The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee announced that beginning with the 2020-21 season, the NCAA Evaluation Tool will be changed to increase accuracy and simplify it by reducing a five-component metric to just two. The remaining factors include the Team Value Index (TVI), which is a result-based feature that rewards teams for beating quality opponents, particularly away from home, as well as an adjusted net efficiency rating.

The adjusted efficiency is a team’s net efficiency, adjusted for strength of opponent and location (home/away/neutral) across all games played. For example, a given efficiency value (net points per 100 possessions) against stronger opposition rates higher than the same efficiency against lesser opponents and having a certain efficiency on the road rates higher than the same efficiency at home.

No longer will the NET use winning percentage, adjusted winning percentage and scoring margin. The change was made after the committee consulted with Google Cloud Professional Services, which worked with the NCAA to develop the original NET.

The updated NET is consistent with the women’s basketball NET, which was revealed last week after the Division I Women’s Basketball Committee worked with a team from Google Cloud to evaluate women’s basketball statistical data for a 10-year period.

In addition, the overall and non-conference strength of schedule has been modernized to reflect a truer measure for how hard it is to defeat opponents. The strength of schedule is based on rating every game on a team's schedule for how hard it would be for an NCAA tournament-caliber team to win. It considers opponent strength and site of each game, assigning each game a difficulty score. Aggregating these across all games results in an overall expected win percentage versus a team's schedule, which can be ranked to get a better measure of the strength of schedule.

Here is a question -
Lets say we go 5-1 down the stretch, so 9-9 in conf.. Do we get in?

Probably not because they are 1-11 in quad 1 games, but maybe if they were to beat Iowa and Nebraska since those are quad 1 games. 6-0 to finish would be interesting. WIll be interesting to see what they do with a team like Nebraska since they played such a weak schedule, they are high in the NET but only 1-5 against quad 1 teams.

Seems unlikely. We have yet to beat a NET top 25 team.
Lets see what happens...It seems crazy to think we just lost to IA by 56, but with a few injuries, Clark shooting 40 times a game, maybe, just maybe this game could be interesting.

I would be very satisfied with an NIT bid, said the same thing at the beginning of the season. Just looking for progress. I would be good with a big record exceeding our 7-11 from last year even if we don’t make the nit.
 

We played a strong non-conference schedule; BUT negated the benefit by losing at home to Jacksonville, a +200 team. Losing to Drake (93 NET) didn't help either. Defeating Arizona State (45 NET) was our only top 50 NET win. It's remains iffy to qualify for the WNIT.
 


NET rankings through Monday night's action 2-14-22. For fun, I've included the NET Non-Conference Strength of Schedule ranking for the Big Ten Teams.

Six B1G teams would be in the NCAA. FWIW: Creme has Northwestern in the "Next Four Out". Iowa State continues to be Iowa's best team.

what does the 42 represent? strength of schedule?
 


NET rank takes that into account in its calculations, correct?
