In Albany. So close to both teams.

#25 Missouri lost to #4 Alabama 61-72. That could help us a bit in the AP rankings on Monday, but most AP voters will likely not consider that a "bad" loss for Missouri.

NET ranking steady at #36

Curious to see how much the NET rankings agree with where teams are actually slotted today.

Oklahoma State, Liberty and North Carolina stand at Nos. 43, 44 and 46 respectively and everyone seems to agree none of them will make the field, while Arizona State and Pittsburgh at Nos. 66 and 67 are listed in the "Last Four In" on most brackets, despite the fact they're just one place ahead of woeful Oklahoma.

Perhaps strangest of all is Nevada at No. 37, one rung below ORU and by most accounts on the outside of the bubble.

Many are calling for the index to be revamped next season, with the likes of Florida Atlantic (13), Boise State (27) and ORU (36) cited as examples that something is amiss with the formula.

I heard Joe Lunardi say yesterday concerning the NET rankings that the difference between 33 and 113 is significant but the difference between 33 and 53 is not significant.
