The NET ratings, the official ranking system the selection committee uses to determine NCAA/NIT participants, dropped today. I'll try to post a weekly update about where NU stands. Quad 1 wins are the most important for building a resume; Quad 3 and Quad 4 losses are the most damaging. What jumps out at me right away is that the system does not like Michigan State, so that's only a Quad 2 win, and Georgetown is horrendous.
NU is currently rated #76, which is NIT bubble-ish. Coming up this week is a Quad 4 game against Prairie View.
QUAD 1 (0-1)
N #21 Auburn - L
QUAD 2 (1-0)
A #92 Michigan State - W
QUAD 3 (1-1)
H #80 Pittsburgh - L
N #127 Liberty - W
QUAD 4 (4-0)
H #246 Chicago State - W
H #247 Purdue Fort Wayne - W
A #250 Georgetown - W
H #287 Northern Illinois - W
