Clemson lost today. Not sure of their wins / resume but I assume it helps IU
 
Yup. Clemson really needed that one. Sad part is that they led by 16 at the half, but when you only score 5 points in the last ten minutes of the game, you are likely to lose.

Now seems to be the time of year where you DON’T want to have a big lead. Cases in point:
-Iowa had a 16 point lead against Nebraska, lost in overtime
-Northern Iowa had an 18 point lead over Bradley in the 2nd half, lost
And today, Clemson. Maybe we want our game tomorrow to stay as close as possible.

You actually want to get a big win because efficiency and margin of victory (although this is capped at 10) are both part of the NET rankings.

IU would move up the NET rankings more beating OSU by 30 versus winning by 1.

NET rankings count a 10 point win the same as a win by 30 (as you stated, it is capped).

if a ref has a vested interest in the outcome you are likely to lose. a phantom, no touch foul at the end decided the game. pathetic

That’s true for one part of the formula, but another aspect is offensive and defensive efficiency metrics, which by their nature are uncapped.

Honestly I do not believe it helped or would have hurt IU in the least. MHO was that NCST v Clemson is the same as O$U v IU. Both were 8-9 games where the winner is in and the loser is off to the NIT.

Clemson got screwed BTW. NCST pg drove the lane with 3 seconds left and tripped himself on the Clemson players foot. He went to the line to shoot the two winner free throws.
 
Refs also missed a late goal tending against Clemson that cost NC State.

Remember TV Ted was doing the game. There are always going to be missed calls
