thank you todd for supporting 1/2 of that posting, looking over it again I meant to say LOUISIANA TECH Not VIrgina Tech. While I'm sure the Hokies have a fine...
OK...I admit I don't mind women's bball, but that's enough. Let's start talking about what we're all here to discuss...the Tournament!! Realize of course...
nc has no business making the tourney, they have played poorly and had a weak schedule. I can not imagine that even a 4th place in conference would be enough...
UNC would need some big road wins in the ACC and maybe a 2nd or third place finish in the ACC Tourney to get in. Indiana will find a way in.....they may still...
i think you forgot the wac and fresno st. wins against michigan st. and usc, and a one point loss to wake, and all there losses are w/out there best player and...
Good post. This is all getting me in the mood for March Madness a couple months early. Here's my two cents: Indiana - currently sit at 6-5, #11 in the RPI ...
The A-10 is a very close confrence. Temple and St. Joe's still have legitimate shots, considering Temple could easily get the automatic bid, and St. Joe's...
Since someone started talking about Fresno St. and Hawaii in the WAC, what chances does Tulsa have of making the tournament? We know that we have to get over...
Please stop riding st. joe's nuts, they had one good game against stanford last year but nelson is overrated and o'conner can not do it by himself. ... ...
Who has tulsa beat? They lost at home to an avg. Arkansas team and then lost to kansas. They are tough but tulsa needs to come into selland and win on ...
As a die-hard Kansas Jayhawk fan, I can tell you that Tulsa is a tough team. They have three guards that can flat-out play ball, and they scared the heck out ...
Tulsa is a great program, and I think they will get some consideration any time they are having a winning season. This year, however, I think they may have...
That's the one. Rand Natlanta <randnatlanta@...> on 01/02/2002 10:02:12 PM Please respond to collegerpi@yahoogroups.com To: collegerpi@yahoogroups.com ...
It's a typical example of an east coast team being over rated and ranked at the beginning of the season, only to tank. But don't worry St Joe's fans, I'm sure...
From what I have seen so far, I like Tulsa's chances. They don't have any quality wins, but they don't have any bad losses either. The WAC tournament is in...
So it proves that a good guard tandem isn't enough to win the tourney lol. Martelli is still a damn good coach and they're still a very good team for a weak...
Check out this article. It gives a different perspective on the RPI, its strengths and weaknesses, and why it does not change. Jerry, let us know what you...
Wetzel doesn't understand, has never understood and doesn't try to understand. Nothing he has to say about the RPI or the selection process is credible. I...
What about the quotes in the article from coaches. Is what they say credible? There are some facts in the article...........and he makes a good point. "The...
Bottom line is this. ... coaches from mid- to low-majors will always complain about RPI & coaches from the power conferences will talk about their tougher...
The only gripe I have about the system is this: If you don't have at least a .500 record in your own conference you should not be selected. The smaller...
I like the process for the most part as well, but I am not griping about the super small conferences that get seeded against a #1 anyway. I'm talking about a...
So let's say Purdue goes 7-9 in the Big Ten. It goes 11-0 in nonconference play with wins over #1 Duke, #2 Kansas, #3 Kentucky, #4 UCLA, #5 North Carolina, #6...
It will never, ever happen (though I love Championship Week because of the one-and-done feel) because money talks, but the best way to make sure each ...
That's a terrible, implausible, and illogical example. I think that Butler deserves to be WAY higher than #50. Also, any team that plays the toughest schedule ...
First of all, I want to say that I think Mr. Palm is right on. As far as I can tell, Wetzel didn't even bother to check his facts. I'm not sure where he...
Of course I'm using an extreme example. I'm aware of that. As four your question, does an 18-12 Big Ten team deserve to go more than a 25-5 mid-major team? The...
Good post Adam. Here's my $.02. I don't think we can look at an 18-12 Arkansas team and a 25-5 Utah State team just by looking at the records. The whole...
Hopefully, the selection committee accepts the RPI for what it actually is........one factor. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the RPI is used too heavily in the...
