Xavier up but Creigton ball 20 secs left. This could potenially knock Xavier out if they are in as the dillusional experts think.

 

[___THEU___]

BS bad foul call bails out Xavier. What a joke.

NIowa still on the other side and will play them with a win today. IMO Niowa is the stronger overall team anyway. So hope they can handle them.

 

[SmokeyRone]

We should have been 13-5, and THAT is without the chokes to UVA, ND, UL twice and UNC.

 

[SmokeyRone]

Watch the SEC put in 5 teams, LOL! Arkansas is the ONLY team besides Kentucky that belongs.

 

[Consigliere]

Our RPI is 60.

 

[txcane80]

Our RPI is 60.

good enough?

 

[Notsince1985]

We need to get above 60 (or below 60....in the 50s).

RPI oh the magical determining formula that sucks.

***** RPI we just finished 6th in arguably the toughest conference in America.

That is good enough for a field of 68.

May not be #1 conference with a strong deep Big12 but its close. Definetly top heavy. But agree, got feeling Selection Comittee may see things different than Joe Lanardi, Jerry Palm, and Seth Davis (Who has a hatred for Miami and didnt even rank us early in season when we were to 20)

 

[Consigliere]

We want the Tulsa and Illinois State to lose today.

 

[Notsince1985]

I always want Tulsa to lose because of their coach and his fat head.

 

[rbogg]

We want the Tulsa and Illinois State to lose today.

Northern Iowa came back from down 18. Did us a favor and kept the auto-bid away from Illinois St.

And now Tulsa and Fat Haith lost.

Lunardi says it doesnt change anything for them. HAHA what a joke.

You may have finished 6th, but you guys had a very bottom-heavy conference schedule (which is reflected your RPI). Of the bottom 5 teams, you played FSU x 2, BC x 2, and Va Tech x 2.

Difference between Miami/NCSU:

SOS: 4 vs 75
non-conf SOS: 24 vs 202
vs RPI top 25: 3-5 vs 1-6
vs RPI top 50: 4-7 vs 2-6

 

[canefan#1]

Didn't the Canes beat NCSU head to head? Where does that figure in?

You left out that we beat you, don't forget that.

 

[bobvila65]

Yeah, and we beat Duke. Obviously that means we are better than Duke.

Did I leave out the part where you went 1-6 versus the RPI top 25?
