April 6, 20196 yr I thought I would see how the 2019 season stacks up against our previous seasons from a computer ranking perspective. I realize that achievement in the NCAA tourney is the ultimate benchmark, but the computer rankings can also put the entire season into perspective. For example, is it better to get a 3 seed and then lose in the first round, or to get an 8 seed and make it to the round of 32, or to miss the tourney and win the NIT? Here are the Pomeroy results since 2002 taking into account the post-season games: 2002 - 27 (6) - Sweet 16 2003 - 7 (1) - Final 4 2004 - 17 (3) - Sweet 16 2005 - 28 (3) - Out 1st Round 2006 - 4 (2) - Elite 8 2007 - 25 (4) - Round of 32 2008 - 9 (2) - Elite 8 2009 - 22 (7) - Round of 32 2010 - 19 (8) - Out 1st Round 2011 - 5 (4) - Sweet 16 2012 - 32 (11) - Out 1st Round 2013 - 94 - CBI 2014 - 41 (7) - Round of 32 2015 - 24 (11) - Out 1st Round ---------------------------------------------------- 2016 - 39 (6) - Out 1st Round 2017 - 70 2018 - 36 (10) - Out 1st Round 2019 - 25 - (NIT) - NIT Champ Interestingly, our best year was 2006 when we made the Elite 8 and finished 4th, not the 2003 Final 4 run. The worst year was Barnes' 2013 CBI disaster, finishing #94. This year's NIT Championship yields a #25 final ranking, which ties for the 8th best season over the last 18 years. This is also our 2nd best season since the Sweet 16 run in 2011, with only the 2015 #24 finish being better. Barnes last 4 years averaged 47.8. Shaka's first 4 years have averaged 42.5. About the same. Slightly better. Both pretty shitty. We have truly been wandering in the desert for the last 10 years.
April 6, 20196 yr But what if you took every team that made the NCAA and gave it 4-5 NIT games and subsequent wins? How much would that affect the final computer numbers? Just curious. Not trying to be contrarian.

And I'm fairly certain we weren't a 3 seed in 2005. Edited April 6, 20196 yr by Catdaddyhorn
April 6, 20196 yr Author Right, 2005 we were an 8 seed. Also right on 2011. They started calling the round of 32 "round 3" around then and it threw me off.
