Today's Games that Affect our RPI

[tzznandrew]

Well, our RPI is down to 29.

Nebraska beat Indiana
Boston U beat Lafayette
Stanford lost at home to Colorado.

And given that we played a sub-200 team, we had a bad RPI night.

Tonight, there is

UCLA at Washington
Idaho State at Eastern Washington

Decent shot for a split...chance for an 0-2. Our OOC teams (minus Florida) have been coming up small.

Hopefully we split, last night was rough. Stanford really struggles against teams with legitimate low post threats.

We got bumped down 5 spots on KenPom after last night... Thats odd.

The teams that manage to schedule several Boston Us as opposed to Maine or Eastern Washington always get a huge (but lame) RPI bump. At the end of the day, what does it mean?

What else is new.

What else is new.

Well, to be sure, Stanford is much better than we thought they were back in December. And Harvard continues to be right on the cusp of a Top 50 win (they dropped down to 53). So those have been better. Also, BU is an RPI Top 100 win. So there have been some bright spots.

Washington, BC, Indiana, and Maryland, though have all terribly underperformed.

Yes, the 3 you cited have been solid -- I think we were expecting Harvard and Stanford to be around #50, and BU sneaking into the top 100 is a pleasant surprise.

Those 4 major-conference foes, though, have been woeful. Indiana in particular has been disappointing, and while we knew BC would be bad, I don't think we expected them to be in the lower half of all of D-I basketball.
