OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

MWC #6 RPI Conference
MVS #9 RPI Conference

Your conference had a good year, no doubt. Very comparable to the MVC a few years ago, when I think we finished 6th, 7th, 8th, etc. a few years in a row. Nothing wrong with that - but it doesn't mean much for Thursday's game. And for the record, we're both mid-major conferences. Not that you've said otherwise, but it's been aluded to in other posts that your fanbase is trying to claim some kind of Power 6/BCS like status.

I think it was being talked about UNI getting a 9 seed not about UNLV

There are people myself being one that cant understand why 23-11 teams with a RPI of 49 get higher seeds then 28-4 teams with a RPI of 17, but every thread on here isnt about the Rebels so go rub one off to your UNLV poster and stay off here

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

They need to do just like the announcer during one of the MVC tourney games said and that is to take all the school names off and what conference and just give each team a number so there isnt the bias

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

When the Delaware fans came on here, I didn't think there could be any fanbase that was more ridiculous, delusional and just flat out stupid. Then the North Dakota State people came on and proved me wrong, but at that point I thought there can't be ANY group out there more ridiculous than NDSU fans.

But then came UNLV. Wow. I just hope most of the guys who are being idiots are only that way because they're 12. If they're full grown adults..... wow..... get a life.

Second that. This is just embarrassing....almost makes me think some of them are jilted Hawk or Cyclone fans upset about their poor seasons and blowing off some jealous steam. No one could be that juvenile in real life, could they? Can't wait until Thursday night when these trolls disappear.

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

Interesting tidbits from ESPN.com's "64 truths", we made #24, 26. Have to say I agree...with both. Let's just win the damn game, and the next one. To be fair, we the fans are the only ones complaining, Coach Jacobsen has done no complaining that I've seen. He's more concerned with the task at hand.

24. There's a saying in sports, and it goes something like this -- win the damn game: Northern Iowa can't complain about its seeding with losses to DePaul and Evansville.

26. He had Occidental and Pacific Lutheran in the BCS title game: CBS morning man Harry Smith revealed his Final Four: Northern Iowa, Butler, Cornell and Robert Morris.

Yeah, he's right, I guess we really shouldn't have gone and lost 4 games like that. Shame on us. Maybe if we went 30-2 or 31-1, maybe we could have been bumped up to that 7 seed..

I think if we had been a 7 seed and UNLV was a 10 matched up against us, we wouldn't be complaining half as much.

My point: If we don't win on Thursday, we have NO reason to complain. It's the 2nd round match-up we are ticked about.

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

I am more upset with how ND and Minnesota got in? I do not understand it at all. I have seen the chair of the selection Comm. Talk a few times and he always dodges this question.

ND 22-11 with losses to NW & LM. Their RPI of 45 and they had lost 5 in a row before winning their last 6.

Minnesota 20-13 with a blow-out loss of 29pts to OSU in the Big Ten Title game. I am sorry but Va Tech deserved to be in over both of these teams!

I am also upset with the lack of respect for Kansas, why give them the toughest bracket? Seriously I know they are the #1 overall seed, but they should get the bracket that Duke is in, not the midwest! The midwest is by far the toughest bracket in the NCAA.

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

You guys love the RPI....did you see where the MWC ended up and where the MVC ended up?

http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_conf_Men.html

MWC #6 RPI Conference
MVS #9 RPI Conference

Wichita went 14-7 in the #9 RPI conference....we went 13-6 in the #6 RPI conference.

I don't think your logic stands up....I know you're just goading us UNLV fans, but just in case you truly believe what you're saying, I think this proves you wrong.

I'm glad other teams in your conference helped your rpi average to strengthen your point.

Re: OPR-Rima grilling the NCAA Dan G.

Oh Please, the MVC is lucky to have even 1 team in the NCAAT. And you guys think you got hosed? Please refresh my memory.... How many top-25 teams did you play this season? .... None. 0. Zip. Zero. You're lucky to have even gotten a 9 seed. You guys have no good wins.. Go figure..

GO REBELS!!! RRRRREEEEEBBBBBEEEEELLLLLSSSSS!

Since you put so much stock in the top 25 I would think you would be impressed by the panthers.

WE ARE IN THE TOP 25

What is UNLV ranked? OH sorry they are not ranked. OOPS

Yes the MWC did finish .0054 RPI points ahead of the MVC, congratulations, that probably works out to about 1 more victory over the course of the hundreds of games played by the conferences during the year.

Based on that it would be reasonable for the MWC to get 3 teams in vs. 2 for the MVC, but not 4 to 1.

BTW, since your provided the link, from the same source:

#43 RPI WSU
#48 RPI UNLV

Until we win some tournament games they're not going to let us slip up against teams like Evansville. It proved that we can lose to anyone in the "experts" minds.

JUST WIN.
