Men’s Basketball: NC State Ranked 55th in First NET Rankings of 2022-23
The first NET Rankings of the 2022-23 Men’s College Basketball season are out, and NC State is ranked 55th after their first 9 games (7-2).
(NET)
This marks the 5th season in which the NET Rankings have been used to as the NCAA’s primary tool for evaluating teams, especially when it comes to NCAA Tournament selection time.
The NET includes more components than just winning percentage. It takes into account game results, strength of schedule, game location, scoring margin, net offensive and defensive efficiency, and the quality of wins and losses.
The number of Quadrant 1 wins and Quadrant 3/4 losses will be incredibly important when it comes time for NCAA tournament selection and seeding.
Higher than I would have expected, but meaningless this early
I agree on both points. “Quadrant” wins or losses are based on preseason speculation. Probably twenty teams in this top 50 that will end up outside the final top 50.
