Kentucky #45 in first NET rankings

There’s really not much point in looking at the NET rankings in December.

Its formula requires a much larger sample size of games before they make sense.
 
It does mean nothing at this point but we might want to start winning some out of conference games against decent competition here in the next few weeks.

NET is meaningless for the next month or so. Let's review this in early January and see what it looks like.

But, I am sure people will lose their minds about this.

That's wild to see that according to Kenpom, UNCW is a better team than ACCs GaTech. But we so often categorize teams into Power conferences.. and everyone else.

The fans would have rather we lost to GaTech. Even I probably agree with that. Because it doesn't "look" as bad. But remove the names and remove the concerences.. losing to the 120th team is worse than losing to the 119th team.

This isn't football, where power and athleticism can get you wins even if you maybe aren't as good at the fundamentals. All it takes is one or two great players and a mid major can beat a lot of P5 teams.
