    New RPI Out

    From Kenpom this morning:

    UNI#21
    Wichita #23
    MSU #25
    Creighton #36
    Bradley #37
    SIU #44

    Looks like today's game for the Egyption dogs is an elimination game. They lose, they dance with an uglier chick in the NIT.
    Creighton may already have a fat chick date in the NIT.

    My GOD how much things can change in a day, huh?

    SIU needs to win, this is another elimination game for them. Creighton has to be BIG UNI and WSU fans today.

      The bad news for Creighton is...they are a sitting duck and their RPI can't be affected by how they play the next week.

      The good news for Creighton is...they are a sitting duck and their RPI can't be affected by how they play the next week.

      Seriously, the teams ahead of them in the RPI (Cinci, BC, Syracuse, Florida, Kentucky, GW, NC State, Michigan, Nevada, and Washington) all will have at least one more loss on their schedule, unless they win their conference tourney. So there are chances that Creighton will continue to stay at 35-36 and not move down. I was looking at RPI's and last year, UNI was in the low 40's heading into the MVC Tourney. They moved up as teams moved down.
      The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

        Creighton and Missouri State are sitting right where the Panthers were last year after the Quarterfinals. They'll stick where they are...and maybe move up the list through the week...and hopefully get an at-large bid.

        We still need to play like we NEED the win today to survive. I thought the guys played with a great sense of urgency last night and I hope that look is on their face again today. Survive and advance. Two more games to go.

          panther2317,

          I think the Bears are in slightly better shape than the Panthers were a year ago--with an RPI of 25 and 20 wins--I think they can sleep well at night this week.

          This will be a very rough week for Dana Altman however. If Bradley wins today, I think they're in.

            Hime, I agree with both points. I posted this on another thread, but Bradley vs. WSU should be a hell of a game, given Bradley's sense of urgency.
