I just don't want the NET to be the main reason we get left out of the NCAA tournament this year. The team has obviously and measurably "leveled up", so of course we would very likely beat those early teams now. Unfortunately, the NET does not seem to factor in something as human as that.
For me, the body of work since December 9th should far outweigh those early losses, but it (the NET) is what it is (extremely flawed imo).
Hopefully, in a few hours (after the SMU game) all of this still applies.
