We are now officially a top 100 RPI team after they added in last nights win. We now stand at number 100 exactly.

We need a big win vs CSU to keep us in the top 100.

It is interesting to see how the RPI of the away teams is much higher than the home teams at the top of the list. i.e. WSU 102 - UNI 68

A win tonight could have us playing Boise St. or VCU.

I'll take any of the TV games but if I has a choice, I'd love to play George Mason or VCU.

I would be satified with Northern Iowa, VCU, or George Mason.
I think George Mason might be out of our reach but if we can win tonight you never know what might happen to our RPI.

It stinks we had to lose right before the BB selection. I hope this doesn't knock us out of one of the TV games.

According to RPI rankings on statsheet.com, Buffalo (67) has moved ahead of Boise St. (80) and UNI (68) and we have stayed at our current position (102, Evansville (73) & Nevada (95) are ahead of us and Drexel (104) & Drake (114) are still behind us). This would mean that we most likely would play UNI in the bracketbuster, while Buffalo would play Nevada and Boise St. would play Drexel. We will find out tomorrow. Of course, this is assuming there is no conflicts. Regardless, we should be safe for a TV game. I am hoping espn2, but guessing it will be ESPNU. statsheet.com/mcb/rankings/RPI

Well we are currently matched up head to head with Green Bay so we obviously won't be playing them.
I have a feeling we will draw Buffalo in our bracket buster game. I'd prefer Northern Iowa or even Boise State. I suspect Green Bay will play Northern Iowa.
We are listed in the 10th spot so we are border line of getting a TV game.
When do they publish the games?

George Mason would be an interesting match up.

I don't care who we get as long as it's a good match up and we get one of the real TV games. I don't want an ESPN 360 game.

Yea an espn360 game would suck. I dont know if I really want to play Boise St. That means we have to take a trip there next year which might hurt our other out of confrence games since we have to use a chunk of money to go out there.
