Arkansas basketball NET ranking: Razorbacks' NCAA Tournament resume, Quadrant 1 record, more
Arkansas basketball's win vs. Auburn boosted the Razorbacks' NET resume in a major way.
Arkansas recorded its second Quadrant 1 victory of the season on Tuesday in Fayetteville, and it needs to continue collecting Quad 1 and Quad 2 victories after a disappointing non-conference slate.
The Razorbacks are ranked 23rd 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 Arkansas.

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
