  • Rpi

    UNI's RPI (according to realtimerpi.com) goes up to 32 after the win. If this is close to the "official" rpi that the selection committee uses, I like our chances.

      I am going to be the biggest UNI fan that isnt ALWAYS a UNI fan on Saturday...I really hope you guys can establish yourselves in the NCAAs. It would be a travesty if you guys didnt make it this year.

        Thank you very much ISU SUPER FAN.

        I was watching ESPN NEWS and ESPN's INsider RPI has us at 43 and Wichita at 35. I dunno how accurate that is, or if it's updated from after the game, but that is what it said on ESPN News. They also showed Benny's Last shot on there, It was so awesome.

        Once again I quote Gary Rima "Oh Baby, I love this Team!!!!"

          Does anyone know how to Email PTI? I want to send them an email asking if we can get some Respect since we are in the Thirties in RPI and in the #7 ranked Conference in RPI. If you could help me with this. Please let me know.

          Thanks

            Their e-mail address is [email protected]. Let us know if you get anything back from them. Be sure to include your name and city, otherwise they won't look at it.

                UNI's RPI today is up to 35 from ESPN Insider. Wichita fell all the way to 43. Just about flipped spots from last week. A win over SMS is a must, no doubt about that to get at large consideration. Beating Southern in the semis would cement it. But if SIU would lose to Bradley or Indiana State, then that too would become a must win.

                  Latest ESPN Bracket

                  Did anyone see that they have Creighton in ahead of UNI? I know they got us twice in the regular season, but i mean come on we got 21 wins and our RPI is way better? CBS is giving us props they have us as an 11 seed! I really see if we can win two games in St. Louis we are in no matter what. They can't deny us, we have a good team and we could surprise some teams this year.

                    Did anyone else notice that many of the NCAA projections have Iowa State in as an at-large team, but not UNI? How can that be justified? UNI is better in every statistical category (RPI, Sagarin, etc), and oh yeah we beat them by 17 points this season. Plus ISU has just lost 2 in a row.

                      I think Iowa State is getting a lot of mileage out of their win at Kansas. It's only one game, but that is a very tough place to get a win for opposing teams.

                        Because Iowa State played their way in with 7 straight wins, and 4 of them were against ranked teams. UNI has only beat one ranked team (SIU). ISU looks to be playing their way out again, if the last 2 games are any indication.

                          I hear the other day on a local sports talk show here that Oklahoma, a few years ago, was the team with the highest RPI (33, I believe) that didn't get into the tournament. It bodes well for UNI but I sure wouldn't count on it.
