What are NET rankings? Quad 1 wins, more in NCAA Tournament bracket seeding

Each year as the NCAA Tournament looms, several topics of discussion repeat themselves as predictions are made for the field of 68.

Perhaps the most notable of these are the NET rankings and Quad 1 wins. As Selection Sunday for March Madness arrives approaches, this year is no exception. It may even be more prevalent than ever, considering the teams who find themselves on the bubble this year.

Look no further than North Carolina, which despite having a brand name, a 22-13 record and a No. 36 ranking in the NET finds itself squarely on the bubble with an abysmal 1-12 record in Quad 1 games.
