I am glad someone has run the numbers, I have known they were bad and wanted to believe it wasn't the case. Unfortunately, we have only one quality win- tourney time we will proably get in- but I am not sure we deserve it.

A 14 RPI is fantastic. I'm not sure what you mean about them being bad.

I think Mojo thinks that we're 14th in the conference in RPI or something...

A 14 is not only a solid tourney team, it's a high seed.

Normally yes, but our record vs the top 50 will more than likely drop it quite a bit. I'm still thinking we're a 7/8 seed at best simply based upon our road record. Factor in that our worst loss was at home and it's typically a bad sign for the selection committee. Make the Big 12 Tournament final, and the seed goes back up.

Our SOS seems high to me. Baylor's listed as the # 2 SOS, only behind Duke. Since they can only play conference games. Maybe they give more weight to conference games?

The most diappointing thing to me is the record vs the top 50. If you want to be an elite team, that stat has to be above .500.

I certainly think we deserve to be in the tournament. It is 64 deep after all, I would probably put us at a 6/7 due to uneven play right now. If we go on a tear and only drop a game between now and selection move us up to a 4 since the team is clicking at that time.

My bad- I was comenting on our 2-5 record in the top 50 and losses in and above 100. How do we maintain a 14 RPI and we have one victory over top 10 and several losses in top 50 and over 100??????

Don't worry dudes- I am still hopeful we get a good track somehow in the tourney with teams we match up well against. However let's be real we aren't beating good sound teams.... Some of those 11 seeds will be 25-2 or 24-3 and will be ready for us.

No, game was on the 15th.

The numbers will change.

This shows us at # 17. Colorado dropped to 53 by beting us???

Look out for the MVC come March. 5 teams in the top 30 with Wichita State being the highest at # 14.

Losing to good teams helps your RPI, even more than beating bad teams does. Not saying wheter that's the best indicator of a good team, but it is what it is.

That is absolutely the case. It is valid to point out that Texas is our only top win but our RPI has a lot to do with how Villanova & West Virginia do as well. We are probably a 5 seed at the moment. RPI will prevent a team like GW or Gonzaga from having a #1 seed and it can be a good tiebreaker between an 7-9 ACC team and a 10-6 Mo Valley team but overall I think it is a little overrated. I'd rather be 10-2 in the league with an RPI like that of KU (43) than 8-4 with an RPI of 14 given the choice.
