The NCAA has released its first NET rankings of the 2022-23 season and Arizona women’s basketball checks in at No. 18. The NET, which stands for NCAA Evaluation Tool, replaced the RPI for women’s basketball beginning with the 2020-21 season. It helps determine which teams are selected for the NCAA Tournament at the end of the season.
Teams' rankings are determined by what the NCAA calls Adjusted Net Efficiency and Team Value Index. The Adjusted Net Efficiency takes into account offensive efficiency (points per possession), defensive efficiency (opponents’ points per possession), the strength of opponents (as measured by their adjusted net efficiency), and game location (home, away, or neutral court).
