He's just such an emotional leader right now:

For all those who agonize about bad 3pt shooters going off on us, this dude is now 5-31 (16%) from deep on the season. He went 0-4 against us this game. Seemed like a pretty concerted gameplan to sag off.

Keep in mind, this is the team sheet the committee looks at while seeding:
There are 6 metrics the committee looks at, 3 resume based (KPI, SOR, WAB) and 3 predictive (BPI, KenPom, T-Rank). NET isn’t one of them.
Your own NET ranking isn't used in seeding, just the NET rankings of the teams you’ve beaten and lost to.
Really hope he gets better, sounds like he was under it:

Another great win. Reid went crazy. I kept waiting for his legs to get tired and it never happened -- just a total pest and baller. NW did great on the glass as well. Thankfully we were clutch tonight. Wagler hogged the ball for a stretch but he corrected and set up Tomi for those two big 3s. Humrichous continues to not be able to shoot but did some great things tonight. Hook and hold is still a dumb automatic call. Nothing like stopping the game for 5 minutes to review a non-dangerous play. Boswell was so, so good. Loved that offensive rebound and putback where he ripped the ball down with one hand. Mirkovic is a force but imagine how insane he'd be if he worked on his ball handling.
This team is really special -- most clutch as a team since 04-05. We don't really get rattled and we've got 5 players who can hit clutch shots -- both ivisic brothers, boswell, wagler, jake davis.

My opinion on these two Wagler hook and holds: if those are flagrants, we should be able to benefit from AT LEAST one each game by way of Underwood's "appeal."
Good job today, and a heck of a rebound by Ben.

Martinelli gets close to his average and someone else gets a career high. Combined with a couple of terrible calls down the stretch and we still win by eleven. This team might be special.
For all the KJ comps, and I think they’re totally different style of player, it’s really wild that both Keaton and KJ’s patented move is the step back crossover 3.
Keaton adds a slight in and out dribble to his left, while dribbling right-handed, before the step back though - and it almost always gets the defender off balance before he even separates further on the step back. He has so much more space to shoot after his move than KJ did.
For anyone who has played, as a right handed player, that’s a super awkward and unique move.

Maybe he was thinking kenpom. They're 61.
Wagler is up to #11 on this list. Insane find from this staff. The preseason hype was definitely warranted.

That's our NET in the upper left, right? I do think you're correct that somewhere along the line, someone from the committee said that your NET isn't used in seeding. But, at least over the last couple years, I don't think any metric / ranking is as strongly correlated to a team's seed as NET.
Looking into it.
I stand corrected.
At least for the top 16 seeds last year, KenPom is the most accurate for predicting seeding.
1. KenPom
2. NET
3. TRank
4. BPI
