Are these last two wins...

[UNIChippewa]

over Indiana and New Mexico the best two wins by any MVC team in the non-conference schedule so far this season?

I honestly don't know, as I don't know who our conference rivals have played, besides Creighton losing to ISU and Wichita State losing a close one to UCONN.

Any thoughts?

Yes. Nobody has a win as good as this NM win IMO.

Evansville beat Butler. That is the only comparable win if you ask me.

New Mexico is a very good win.
Iowa State will be a better win than Indiana by the end of the season I believe.

I agree I think Iowa State could surprise in the Big 12 this year, doesn't seem as strong as in the past few years.

It doesn't matter if it is a good win or not...as long as we get twenty more of them!

Don't know how good USC is, but Bradley beat them earlier this year in some tournament.

USC has shown they can compete with the best and lose to anybody. Who knows how they will turn out this year with the PAC10 being down again.

I believe these wins will really help our RIP rating. The loss to Iowa is a killer though because they not very good and their records will show them this.

Iowa isn't that bad this yr. They'll compete for some wins in the big ten but will still finish bottom half. Id say they're as good as indiana is

According to CBS Sports, UNI's RPI is now #46. TeamRankings.Com has us at #45. It looks like these two games dramatically improved our RPI. I believe we were sitting at #101 after the wins against SIU-E and SCST.

The Wisconsin-Milwaukee loss is much worse.

At least road losses don't hurt the rpi as bad as home losses

Re: Are these last two wins...

One thing to remember about the RPI is that our Coe game won't count so that does help our SOS, looking at CBS sports we have a RPI of 46 with a SOS of 93.

But, there is a flipside. Iowa will probably finish with a higher RPI than UW Milwaukee, just by virtue of playing much tougher competition given they play in a much, much tougher league.
