Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2014273, member: 153"] The board here had people looking at all the measures, not only RPI (41) but BPI. Most here looked and said we were a lock. I agreed. UConn was 23-10 before the Cincy game. Tulsa was 20-12. With a weaker OOC than UConn played. As for league records, I distrust them in unbalanced leagues. Tulsa plays Tulane and East Carolina twice. Just one game separated them, 12-6, 11-7. I feel the same way about the league regular season. Unless you beat the 2nd place team by more than 1 game, the 2nd place team is the real champ if they win the tourney. Regardless, UConn was far and away ahead of many teams that made it in. Also, if you recall, the last 4 teams were Tulsa, Michigan, Wichita St, Vandy. The RPI of these last 4 was 62, 57, 48, 63. UConn was at 41 prior to Cincy. And they were way ahead in BPI. So Tulsa wasn't even the team with the worst RPI. Vandy was at 19-13. [/QUOTE]
