They are way more efficient than us, if they keep losing it’ll correct

Their stats are like our ACC championship team, very efficient offensively and pretty good on defense. VT this year plays to the lev of competition, winning and losing by 1-2 points is basically the same thing.

Would love to know from the NET defenders how to explain Indiana 38

Ironically #30 in RPI. **

It isn't about wins and losses. It's about efficiency.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/20/26 01:53 PM ET
The same reason they're #37 in KenPom and VT is #57.
Lumbee09 • 01/20/26 12:53 PM ET
The actual ranking doesn't matter very much.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/20/26 09:09 AM ET
Ok but doesn’t that punish VT opponents & reward IU

soflahokie • 01/20/26 06:27 AM ET
So “efficiently” winning vs bad teams or losing vs good teams is better
hokiepro • 01/20/26 02:58 PM ET
Yes, you continuing to sweat the NET does sound ridiculous.
Pylons • 01/21/26 10:16 AM ET
Touché **
hokiepro • 01/21/26 12:01 PM ET
It would be really cool if we knew how the NET was calculated.**
hoosnowahokie • 01/20/26 08:15 AM ET
We do, the NET is a weighting of Team Value Index + Adjusted Net Efficiency
soflahokie • 01/20/26 09:18 AM ET
Which is an educated guess. I still think it's odd they haven't
hoosnowahokie • 01/20/26 01:11 PM ET
Probably so they can adjust it if teams game it, it’s way better than RPI
soflahokie • 01/20/26 02:08 PM ET
Teams game the NET by not resting starters and continuing to blow out very
hokiepro • 01/20/26 03:00 PM ET
IU has had some crazy efficient games, VT has only had one (St. Joes)
soflahokie • 01/20/26 03:26 PM ET
Indiana loses big to good teams
hokiepro • 01/20/26 06:48 PM ET
Limited q4 gms played vs us. **

Here's more info in a quick look (pic)**
hoosnowahokie • 01/20/26 08:16 AM ET
It’s NOT explainable.**
hokiepro • 01/19/26 08:40 PM ET
False we are 6-0 they are 7-0; their non conference SoS is 200+ NET AND RPI
hokiepro • 01/19/26 08:37 PM ET
Indiana is 37 in kenpom and 46 in Massey...
Gobbler-100 • 01/19/26 09:26 PM ET
Unfortunately true about SMU & Stanford **
hokiepro • 01/19/26 09:35 PM ET
Interesting. **
GoldCoast • 01/19/26 08:52 PM ET
