"First off, I think we should all probably never mention that word [NET] again because I think it's fraudulent. I think the NET is something that shouldn't even be mentioned anymore. I think that we had a good strength of schedule. KenPom, why mention him? We were 26th in KenPom. We tried to play a tough schedule. We tried to do things the right way, and we didn't get in. But I never make excuses. I respect the committee for what they do. They give their time, they give their energy to it. They didn't think we measured up to their standards, and we'll take it very positively like men and move forward. We're not going to gripe. We're not going to say we got screwed." — St. John's coach Rick Pitino
