Belmont basketball's season usually hinges on the Bruins' Ohio Valley Conference Tournament results.

But maybe not in 2021-22.

Belmont is ranked 46th in the NET rankings, an NCAA tool that the selection committee will use to varying degrees of importance in March.

Take a look at the NET rankings profile for Belmont.

A full explanation of the NET rankings can be found here, but the most important things to understand (we're led to believe, since the NET formula is not public) are the quadrant meanings. You'll hear "Quad 1 opponent" or some form of it a lot between now and Selection Sunday, and the quadrants are broken down below.
