The NET cares about the result and efficiency. The result of a Wake win was expected, so it doesn't really help us. And our efficiency was basically right on target, so it also doesn't really help us. Now, if you watched the garbage basketball played by Purdue and Illinois yesterday, where defenses kept getting lost and there were a dozen uncontested threes, hardly any rebounds, star player Edey didn't have a shot attempt in the 4th quarter then Purdue tried to throw it at the end with idiotic mistakes - no worries, now that we're in conference play they're locked as elite and both receive massive NET bonuses for playing a "close" game. They could go out there with two dudes and play Horse and nobody would gain a spot on them.
