Beat Arizona again, have a hard time not seeing a major case for CU. Just worry about them, nothing else.
I think the biggest impact was to the benefit of the stronger mid-major conferences/teams and some of the high-major teams that have mediocre recruiting. Programs that have good college players who aren't NBA talents got seniors back for an extra year & were fielding very veteran teams in the early season.You are probably right. As much as anything., I'm hoping. Human nature could get some of these people thinking the 1st half of the season was "tainted". With Covid, there are dozens of ways teams were affected, and I don't think you can really tell who suffered, how much.
Buffs perfect candidate for first 4. Unquestionable #4 team in “power” conference with low NET. Are they legit or not? Let the play-in game decide.I think the biggest impact was to the benefit of the stronger mid-major conferences/teams and some of the high-major teams that have mediocre recruiting.

CU, for example, grew up. We were about a Top 150 team the first couple months. Now I think we're about a Top 35 team. We'd smoke teams like S Illinois & Duquesne if we played them now.
It's possible. We really have to win tonight to have any reasonable hope, though.
The good thing is that the P12T went to chalk. Makes it harder to win, but we needed it to be as hard as possible for our resume.
If UCLA wins tourney we will have played 5 games against top 10 teams. 1-4 but none of these mid majors can say that.and with that in mind tonight Go Bruins!
stated differently, the limited distribution of the Pac 12 Network is exacerbating the east coast media bias.I think the #1 reason that the Buffs are in this position is the PAC 12 Network
How many games did we play on the National Platform at a favorable time?
We lost the Kansas game, which would have been huge as well, but having an inept Network that is not that easy to get on most services has been and is catastrophic. New deal must address this problem.
Go Buffs, just win the whole damn thing

The Big 12 is a damn good league. 3-4 of those teams (LOL Texas) might be top 4 seeds on Sunday. The other three we can have a conversation on though.The fact the ESPN is still forcing Michigan into Bracketology and not even as a 12 seed qualifier just shows you how much bias there is. Other teams that are VERY questionable yet still getting too much love:
- Iowa State
- Miami
- Memphis
- San Fran
Let's honest, though. Tad built this schedule knowing the team he was going to roll out in Non-Con would basically be in diapers. Not finding a way to reschedule Kansas is still baffling to me. I'm sure he anticpated playing CSU in the Paradise Jam, Tennessee and KU would be enough of a bump for the their OOC needs. We got 1 of 3. That said, as I posted yesterday we handily beat the majority of the teams ranked NET 40-70 on a neutral court right now. That should be taken into consideration, but likely won't.The #1 reason is the schedule we chose to play.
Our most difficult neutral non-conference game was S Illinois.
Our most difficult road non-conference game was... we didn't play one.
And we put Maine on our schedule. We'd have been better off playing a non-counting home game against Colorado Christian instead of a NET-killing home game against a team that's at 353.
Oklahoma being on the bubble is the one that's baffling to me.The fact the ESPN is still forcing Michigan into Bracketology and not even as a 12 seed qualifier just shows you how much bias there is. Other teams that are VERY questionable yet still getting too much love:

Well, Auburn needs to wake the hell up and stop shooting 3s already. 15 points with 4+ to go in the 1st half.Win or lose for our Buffs, could these losses be critical today in helping our NET:
T A&M (55 Net) vs. Auburn
Miss St (56 Net) vs. Tenn
Creighton (64 Net) vs. Providence
Vandy (67 Net) vs. Kentucky
We're NIT bound if we lose.Win or lose for our Buffs, could these losses be critical today in helping our NET:

Memphis is legitimately good right now. Hot. 2 wins over Houston.The fact the ESPN is still forcing Michigan into Bracketology and not even as a 12 seed qualifier just shows you how much bias there is. Other teams that are VERY questionable yet still getting too much love:

St. B's senior PG and 4 year captain misses two FTs with 1.0 on the clock that could've tied or won it. Poor kid, but what an absolute choke job.Two other games to watch today for our NET improvement potential:
UAB (50) vs Mid TN St (104)
St. Louis (59) vs St Bonaventure (82)
Potential upsets that would help our Buffs.
And he got his own miss on the second shot and his put back missed too. Truly sucksSt. B's senior PG and 4 year captain misses two FTs with 1.0 on the clock that could've tied or won it. Poor kid, but what an absolute choke job.
That type of thing happens unfortunately. Sucks.And he got his own miss on the second shot and his put back missed too. Truly sucks
