2010 BracketBuster Matchups

[BCPanther]

Non-Televised games are starting to leak.

Bradley will host Drexel.

Five CAA teams will be on television--ODU, George Mason, VCU, Northeastern, Bill & Mary.

The article says that there will indeed be a Selection Show at 5:30 CST.

Doesn't surprise me that more east-coast teams get TV coverage. Especially since it's on the ESPN networks.

I really hope the selection committee will notice/remember that we crushed that Siena team, that appears to be running through their conference, and back into the rankings and at-large consideration pool.

Because, playing Siena would be the best game for us in the BB, but we already beat them, and beat them handily this season.

Only Three Valley teams get TV. UNI, WSU, MSU.

Our commissioner created the event and now we get screwed by it. If I was Illinois State I would be on the phone now with both Elgin and ESPN going apesh*t about not getting on TV. That is a royal screwjob...

How do the RPI rankings of the TV vs. non-TV games compare?

If the Redbirds have a significantly higher RPI than some of the TV home teams, then I'd agree that they were screwed. Otherwise, that's just how it goes. (I haven't been following the RPI all that closely, so I don't know. And of course, it would be tough to do such a comparison until all the matchups are announced)

Illinois State screwed themselves with their OOCscheduling and then not going unbeaten with that pathetic mop. 15-7 and an RPI of 118 isn't going to get you much. Morehead State with an RPI of 119 is pretty much a dead even match by the computers and they are the best non-conference RPI ISU faces by 30 points!
