Records will always be up to date. Résumé numbers NET and strength of schedule may reflect values from before a team’s latest game, depending on the time of the day. We’ll try to keep those figures updated as much as possible when the NCAA releases its new numbers each morning, but don’t get too hung up. Big value changes are unusual this time of year, even this season. (Current NET and SOS numbers are accurate as of Sunday morning, through Saturday’s games.)
Colgate NET update, before Sunday’s season-defining Patriot League tournament final: No. 9 and holding strong.
