A lot of good games going on right now.

Rutgers continues to trail St Johns and looks to be headed towards another L.

65 all in Columbus.

it's sort of like giving Deleware a 2 seed. i don't care that they are a 1-loss team - they have beaten no one of substance this year really, so even tho their RPI is #6, i'd still make them a 4 seed, or at best a 3 seed...

I guess "no one of substance" includes 2 top-25 teams (penn state, and they dealt the Bonnies one of their 2 losses and that one was in olean...) plus princeton. The only loss was single-digits at Maryland. They look headed for a 3-seed at this point given how many bad losses others had this week. I think if you replaced them with a star player of any other background, there would be less ill-will towards their out of conference slate. At least 4 legit non conference opponents is a lot for a mid major, and 3 of them were on the road.

ah i forgot about PSU. that win was a substance win. thanks for the reminder! still lots of games left to be played, but i want them in UCONN's bracket and hope they get in as a 4 seed. unlikely unless they lose another game this year which is possible, but not likely... or if they are a 3 seed, i could see them in our bracket if they make Kentucky our 2 seed (or Miami or something like that)...

right now you may, but if both Stanford and Duke win out, i can't see how Stanford has the higher RPI as Duke will have to beat maryland, miami, and then possibly both of them in the ACC tourney... i'd expect that Duke would have the higher RPI at that point. if not, then there's something wrong with the RPI calculations...

Because they would be 4 and5 on the S curve and both Duke and Stanford could benefit regionally if Stanford is #1.

WHY STANFORD #1 - Pro

Jumping in here...is it something to do with travel time and cutting costs, too? Sorry if I am repeating another's post.
