They have two seven-footers and then nobody over 6-6, plus the 7's are a fr and so.

Re: Up Next: Colorado State

Should be a fairly easy gam since apparently none of them can even stand up straight

DSM Radio Broadcast Note:
There will be no Radio for this game in the DM area. With ISU MBB and Football playing at the same time Clear Channel has moved the ISU MBB broadcast to KXNO, seeing how the ISU Football game has priority on 100.3 the Bus.

The UNI football game is still scheduled to be aired on KXNO.

Warrennolan has us at 10, with a strength of schedule at 25. Still way too early.

Depends on where you look. Hardly anyone has access to the real RPI, I think you have to pay for that. This one is from statsheet.com

[UNI Fight]

Re: Up Next: Colorado State

Colorado State would be a good solid win for UNI. It might be worth noting that UNI is the only MVC team that is 2-0 in the MVC-MWC challenge...lets make it 3-0. (Missouri State is 1-0 and was the MVC team to sit it out last year). UNI was the only MVC team to get a win in this challenge series last year, MVC needs to restore itself in this!

Re: Up Next: Colorado State

We were in the 40's for CBS' rpi last night. BTW - St Mary is still # 1, which I cannot fathom.

Sagarin went from 39->24 overnight (SOS shot up 50 places)

The SOS on CBS only includes games up to this point. With the small sample size of 3 teams/games (2 of their 5 games were against non-D1 schools), with their lone loss to Denver (#3 RPI, #4 SOS), which makes there RPI strong at this point. Like any statistical analysis the more games/numbers involved the more accurate the RPI will be. I don't see them staying there long as the season progresses. Stat Sheet has their projected SOS at 84.

Re: Up Next: Colorado State

Not to get ahead of myself..or the team...but seeing with prior success and a little name recognition from a good "mid-level" conference, if we can win this weekend, might start seeing us grabbing a couple votes for the Top25 poll.
