Losing to the 6th place team in the Valley...which way do Big East fans spin it? Is it a tough loss vs. a good team? (which makes Missouri State look better) Or, is a bad loss? (which makes Syracuse look worse). Maybe I'm simplifying it too much.

    The national media will find a way to spin it positively for Syracuse...

      Also, root for Southern Miss over Houston!

            Houston ended up beating Southern Miss
            Utah State beat Hawaii
            California beat UCLA (not a good thing...they HAVE to lose tomorrow)
            SLU beat UMass (not what we wanted)
            NC State beat Duke (creaping towards the 100 mark...they need to lose tomorrow)
            Oklahoma State held Nebraska to 39 points, which is good, IMO
            Memphis beat Marshall
            TAMU-CC won
            Akron won
            GW is beating St. Joe's early...I think we want GW to win

            Games later tonight we want to go our way:
            Baylor over Mizzou
            Tennessee over LSU
            La Tech over New Mexico State (want...isn't a must have)

                Baylor's win likely drops Mizzou below us in the RPI.

                LSU and New Mexico St probably cemented NIT bids with wins last night.

                  Unfortunately, I think you are correct.

                    Forgot to mention Georgia's win over Auburn may have burst their NIT hopes. Another positive result.

                      In general, I think last night was a very good night for us and the Valley. A lot of NCAA bubble teams fell, keeping open the chance for both Missouri State and Bradley in the big dance and ours for the NIT. There were a few upsets that pose danger for us however, as PTTB pointed out California and NC State both must lose today or they will suddenly have NIT resumes (Cal must win to be at least .500, they have a good RPI) Oklahoma is on the NIt bubble, I'm not sure LSU is a lock yet, they lose today and they're only 17-15 with a mid to high 80's RPI.

                      Well here goes for today.

                      The 1-Bid Leagues: We want the regular season champs to win in their semifinals today. Big West: Long Beach State MEAC: Delaware State Southland: Texas A&M-Corpus Christi SWAC: Mississippi Valley State

                      The 1 Bid, with NIT Contenders:
                      A-10: Xavier must win, SLU-GW is probably an NIT knockout game (SLU has a better resume)
                      Conference USA: Memphis must win, a Rice win over Houston might knock Houston off the NIT bubble
                      MAC: Toledo must win, an Akron win probably knocks Kent State off the NIT bubble
                      MWC: The Air Force loss might have knocked them out of the NCAA, we need both BYU and UNLV to win. Their opponents are weak NIT teams and it probably seals Air Force into the NIT (keeping open NCAA spots)
                      WAC: Nevada must win keeping Utah State as a NCAA bubble/NIT probable. Boise State over New Mexico State might be too much to ask, NMSU is an NCAA bubble but they are at home. Boise is climbing as an NIT bubble, but probably has too far to climb.

                      The BcS Conferences:
                      Big East: Yay, we can actually ignore them from here on as all 4 left are NCAA bound.
                      ACC: NC State and Wake Forest must lose to keep them off the NIT bubble, Florida State is still an NCAA bubble team, Miami is going nowhere unless they win it all.
                      Pac-10: California must lose, Go Ducks! The other semi USC is probably in the NCAA but may still need one win.
                      SEC: Kentucky and Florida wins pop NCAA bubbles, Vandy-Arkansas may be an NCAA knockout game (Vandy may still be in) The big one is Mississippi needs to beat LSU and knock them off the NIT bubble.
                      Big 12: Kansas over Oklahoma knocks the Sooners out of the NIT probably, Tech-K State is an NCAA knockout game, an A&M win probably keeps OkState out of the NCAA, Baylor is out unless they win it all.
                      Big 10: Michigan needs a win for the NCAA, maybe Illinois does too. Mich-St. Wisky are both in. The tough call is Iowa-Purdue. If you think Iowa is a definite NIT team win or lose, root for them to win, it helps our RPI and keeps Purdue on the NCAA bubble. If you think we may be in contention with Iowa for an NIT slot, root for Purdue to knock Iowa several more spots behind us.

                      Patriot Automatic Bid on the Line: I would love to root for Bucknell to win because it helps our RPI, but Holy Cross has the NIT guarantee and we don't really want NIT slots disappearing. I say the heck with it, root for Bucknell and hope like heck the other 1-bid leagues stay true.

                        YAY! The MVC is moving up the RPI ladder. Now #6, and closing fast on the Big East. They are only .0005 away from the MVC.

                          We want Iowa to win today. That knocks Purdue out for sure and moves MSU and BU closer to the dance...

                            I'm not so sure about that Brett. I don't think we want Iowa jumping over UNI in the RPI rankings. If UNI has a higher RPI rating, more top 50 wins, plus the head to head matchup...I like UNI's chances. I don't think UNI and Iowa both get in, IMO.

                              This stuff is killing me...

                              How about next year we have 25 wins at this time and know where we are going. Sound good to anybody else??

                                Sounds good to me.

                                I'm still torn on Iowa. I think best case scenario would be if Michigan also beats Ohio State and then Iowa. Iowa's RPI would rise slightly (maybe to around 80 where we are) but then they take a hit that hurts as opposed to Ohio State where their RPI would probably go up even with a loss. Couple that scenario with a Bucknell win and we probably move to 75 or better in the RPI ourselves.
