2024-25 Big East Poll Rankings, NET Rankings and Team Sheets

[The Thing]

Marquette is tied yet with Auburn and Oregon for the most combined Quad 1 and 2 Wins in the Nation with 7.
Marquette has the 2nd most Quad 1 Wins in the Nation with 5.
Marquette is also 2nd in the Nation in WAB.
The NET Rankings have a new metric this season called WAB — Wins Above Bubble. It's used to evaluate how many more wins a team has compared to what an NCAA Tournament "bubble" team would be expected to have against the same schedule, using the NET Rankings as the basis for opponent strength.

This is not true. Memphis has 10 combined Q1 and Q2 wins.

I have been throwing this stat out there too but it is wrong. Memphis has 9 combined Q1 and Q2 wins (6-0 Q2). Auburn and MU are tied for second with 7.

I stand corrected. Marquette and Auburn are tied for second with 7.  I did not think of looking that high up in the NET rankings. That helps explain Memphis 7 in the WAB.

Update Memphis leads with 10  and Marquette and Auburn are tied for second with 8

Memphis has a fascinating schedule.  Only 2 Q3 games and 1 Q4 game so far. And the Q4 game is 1 spot from being a Q3. Can't say they didn't challenge themselves in the noncon

Yeah, I'm actually surprised they aren't ranked higher. I guess one Q3 loss can have a really big impact on your NET.
