Would be nice to have a schedule to build a better resume on. Hopefully the powers at be try to work harder on that since do have some talent coming back for a few years.
I can see us dropping to 100 very quickly if our OOC teams lose. Most of them play in conferences riddled with teams in the 240+ range except the ACC.

The prediction of a final RPI in the 110 range is based on a final record of 20-9 against D-1 competition. That means that we would go 7-4 the rest of the way. Although that is entirely possible the momentum that this team is building would suggest that they could do better than that. Our projected RPI based on a 22-7 record is 83. If the Raiders take care of business in Milwaukee I can see that happening.
Just win baby!

I am all for moving in the right direction. Missouri State once was left out with a 21 RPI ( I am sure the committee went to not enough good wins or too many bad losses but that would be tough to handle ). Last year Illinois State was left out with a 33 RPI.
I am a one game at a time guy. Not sure an 83 would mean NIT at worst so, let's see what we can take care of on the court. Yes, just win!

No one thinks we are getting an at large bid Tommy. The reason people are paying attention to RPI right now is if we get the conference's automatic bid. The better our RPI is the better our tournament seed will be. I think we all know we got bad seeds the last 2 times we made it to the Dance and got destroyed both times. A better seed might give us a chance for a first round upset. |

Fastbreak, I wasn't worried about the people that have posted for several years but, you are right ( even though I wouldn't celebrate an 83 RPI any more than an 110 RPI ) Selection Sunday would be the day we need the best possible RPI no matter which tourney we participated in.
The year we played Indiana was the one I didn't like. Even though I was happy to only drive to Indianapolis, the matchup made me feel like we were the 64th team.

RPI moved up 3 places #76 thanks to Miami and Toledo wins.

Don't get hung-up on RPI. Remember, the Selection Committee is supposedly taking other metrics into consideration and this year they added a quadrant system into their tool bag. Taking that into consideration, the RPI is our only bright spot. The two prominent prognosticators (Palm & Lunardi) came out with their brackets this morning. Palm kept us a #14 seed, but Lunardi dropped us down to a #15 seed. I'm sure that has to do with our metrics. Here's the official NCAA link to our team sheet. It's page #75. extra.ncaa.org/solutions/rpi/SitePages/Home.aspx |

Lunardi is pretty close year in and out. Butler never did get any respect either when they were in the Horizon League. Pretty much they had to win the tournament to get in the NCAA. It took a few times to get noticed even for them.

Our RPI this morning is 72 We can thank Buffalo for that. And for us scheduling Kent. Remember, RPI is 25% us, 50% opponents, 25% opponent's opponent. The Bulls suffered their first loss in conference play last night at Kent. Entering the game they had a mid-20's RPI. Tonight we really need G-Tech to hold serve against a bubbly Orangemen team and Loyola to win a tough game on the road in Peoria. As I mentioned in an earlier comment, it's more than just RPI. Look at the quadrants. A G-Tech win will move them into "Group 2" Wins vs Groups 1 & 2 are good. Losses vs Groups 3 & 4 are bad. Wins are expected vs the lower Groups. If the Ramblin' Wreck win that would put our overall record at 4-4 vs. the top 2 Groups. |
