Here are the 2025 teams we are considering for the Value Add Basketball Game.
The second column lists what Rating they might have, with +0 being the average great team already in the game. If a team is still playing and they lose the next game, then their rating will be the lowest number in the rating range. As they keep winning their bottom of the range increases by 1 until they lose. The team would only get to the best rating listed if they won the national title game.
This rating adjusts for strength of schedule in determining the dunk and defense adj dunk ranges. The figure starts with the teams Net Rating at www.kenpom.com and subtracts the Net Rating of the 100th best team, then another 20 is subtracted. After that, one more point is subtracted for every round that a team did not win, so the national champ has nothing else subtracted, the national runner up loses one more point, the Final 4 team gets another -2, all the way down to a first round loser having -6 subtracted.
The last four columns give an idea of the considerations for if a new team is added each year.
The first consideration is if the school has had a recent team, so this column shows the last year from which they school has a team in the game.
The next column gives you an idea of how likely we are to add this year's team, but considerations are ongoing.
The next column indicates how the team has done in the NCAA tournament.
- the worst result a team can have to be considered is losing their first tournament game by 10 to 20 points - if they lose by more than 20 they cannot be considered.
-A team that loses by single digits will get a closer look.
-A team that wins 1 game has a better shot.
-a "1 & plays Sunday" means the team won their opener and has a game Sunday.
-2 or later number will be the running count of total wins up to a maximum of 6 for winning the national title.
