Where will we wind up? Stats say CBI/CIT

Which doesn't ****ing matter!! SIU and Evansville both have 20 DI wins and SIU isn't getting into the NIT and Evansville is in the same spot we are.

SIU and Evansville need to be introduced to the SOS and RPI stats. Neither can schedule.

Quick question and maybe it's been mentioned on here already but what is the rule behind postseason play for redshirts? I would assume they still can't play, but I didn't know if some of the no-name tournaments allow this sort of thing...probably still trumped by the NCAA, right?

Don't think it can be done. Sounds like a good idea in theory though.

Honest question. Does anyone think it looks bush league when we schedule lower divisions? I'm not referring to exhibition games.

The reason for the above question is for the people that want more home games. Use the Exhibition season of 2 games for NAIA, Divsion III, and Division II.

I mean it would be nice to have high quality home games all the time. But at this level, that is impossible to do. So 1 game against Dubuque is much better than playing a team like NJIT (we need some home games as well).

We've had a lot of good home and home series in the past too and will continue to schedule them. So this game does not bother me.

Wichita State scheduled Emporia State. Would you call them small time?

It's a pretty common thing for mid major/low major programs to schedule a D2 or D3 home game. It doesn't count against RPI. It's game experience to work through things like a practice. It's a home gate that is still going to draw 4,000+ paid tickets at a place like UNI. Happens quite a bit across the country

A large number of people going to UNI games won't know the difference between Dubuque vs Morgan State vs Portland State vs St Mary's.

Dubuque at least adds a local draw where players from Dubuque will be from the Cedar Falls area and draw family/friends to the game.

Turns out, UNI isn't the only school looking for home games and most aren't willing to travel half way across the country to an arena that the home team wins over 80% of it's games at and give up a home date.

That's also a mistake on Wichta's part. So you like being some big bully on the school yard that beats up an 85 pound kid that you out weigh by 175 pounds? Better yet you wonder why no girl will go to prom with you?

Re: Where will we wind up? Stats say CBI/CIT

You can just use RPI wizard and we can have a really good idea of our RPI with and without Dubuque on the schedule and end this stupid argument that Dubuque cost us a NIT bid.


With Dubuque RPI 106 SOS 123
Replace Dubuque with Milwaukee win at home - RPI 100 SOS 122
Replace with a St. Mary's win at home - RPI 96 SOS 113
Replace with a win against #1 RPI Kansas at home - RPI 95 SOS 108

This should show that replacing that Dubuque game with literally anyone would only moderately improve our RPI/SOS and this example is assuming we got KU on our home floor and beat them this year.
