Sorry for the formatting. I understand Kentucky's loss to Evansville looks really bad, I still don't understand why they are ranked at 14 with teams like Arizona and MSU being ranked ahead of them. I REALLY don't understand how Duke, who has lost 3 of their last 4 hasn't moved from the 6 spot.

Still wish I knew enough about the formula to be able to be upset with it.

That makes two of us.

Arizona has lost 3 in a row, is 7th in a week conference, and has 10 losses on the year. How are they NET 10 (moving up a spot from 11,... by losing)

[MJAlltheWay24]

As long as Kentucky avoids a 4 seed, I don't really care what their formulas are.

 

Does seem a little strange that a team can lose 3 out of 4 games, especially to unranked teams and it virtually has no affect.

Joey Brackets and Jerry Palm both have us as a 3 in the West. Unless we lose our first game in the SEC tournament I just don't see how we are a 4. I think if we make it to the finals of the SEC tournament (because history shows that winning it doesn't mean anything) we have a decent shot at a 2 seed.

The only thing we can say about the NET is that it has some obvious flaws.

Polls are meaningless in the committee room (I'm not suggesting that should be the case, but it is).

[The Double Deuce]

I'm the only one saying it, but I think San Diego State getting a 1-seed would be a joke. Not a funny one.
