Re: Non-Conf Opponents

Here's a breakdown of how impressive Saint Mary's has been.

Gaels are pretty good

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

We played a good non conference schedule. Losing to St. Mary's won't hurt us, but we need the teams we actually beat to get their RPI up!

ISU, Old Dominion & Colorado State I think are the big ones to watch. They all have a chance to win some good games. ISU is a long shot but they are playing pretty well lately, hopefully they can help us out a bit.

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

interesting to see where Ohio finishes. They were the most solid team I've seen so far

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

I have updated with results from games on Saturday 1/14. All non-conference foes were in action, posting a 7-4 mark with the biggest win being Iowa over Michigan though Rice's victory moved them up more spaces in RPI. Milwaukee jumped into the top 100 with their win and remain on top of the Horizon, while Iowa and Providence moved closer to the top 100 (PC lost to Syracuse). In all 4 of our non-conference foes are sitting in 1st place in their respective conferences, with 3 more tied for 3rd or better in their conference or division and Iowa State sitting 4th in the Big XII-2-2+2.

Our RPI moved up 2 from 23 to 21 as a result of Saturday's games.

Our non-conference slate was solid, we still need to win our games though or it really won't matter.

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

if northern colorado/bradley/siu can get into the top 200 RPI and Western Carolina/Evansville can stay in the top 200 i think we would have played no games against 200+ rpi teams...not sure anyone else in the country could say that

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

The Cyclones are starting to look like a tournament team. If they could have finished off KU last night things would have been in good shape

[BryceC]

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

Long way to go. Odds are against the Clones. Haven't beaten anybody good yet. I think Texas is the only win against a team in the top 100 of the RPI and they likely won't be in the tournament that matters in March.

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

Western Carolina beat a D2 last night 141-39.

Re: Non-Conf Opponents

Updated through yesterday. Most RPI's dropped despite a 6-3 record on the week, mainly due to the impact of our losses on them. 6 or the 11 non-conference opponents are currently tied for 2nd or better in their conferences or conference division, including St. Mary's and Milwaukee in first place by themselves.

disclaimer-none of this really matters if we don't win our games....
