Memphis basketball NET ranking: Where Tigers land in rankings, Quadrant 1 record, more

Memphis basketball's NET rankings resume is an issue when discussing the Tigers' NCAA Tournament chances.

The Tigers are ranked 58th in the NET rankings, an NCAA tool that the selection committee will use to varying degrees of importance in March.

The Tigers missed out on a potential Quadrant 1 victory on Wednesday at UCF and may have just three more chances to bolster their 2-2 record in Quad 1 games.

Take a look at the NET rankings profile for Memphis.

What am I looking at?

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.

  • Quadrant 1: Home Ranked No. 1-30; Neutral 1-50; Away 1-75

  • Quadrant 2: Home Ranked No. 31-75; Neutral 51-100; Away 76-135

  • Quadrant 3: Home 76-160; Neutral 101-200; Away 136-240

  • Quadrant 4: Home 161-353; Neutral 201-353; Away 241-353
