ESPN Bubble Watch

Hope you're right but they left out Texas AM last year who went 11-7 in the SEC, and non con only lost to Dayton, Baylor and Kansas State. Finished with RPI of #68. We would have very similar numbers at 11-7 and a first round BET loss this year.

The SEC was garbage last year, but A&M should have been in. BE is a better conference.

Just based on the conference record that isn't a good comparison to the Big East however.  SEC was down again last year and with the unbalanced schedules A&M average conference opponent RPI at home was 87 and away was 91.  Plus they lost in the first round of the SEC Tourney to Auburn.

For comparison, Marquette's average home RPI was 69 and away 69.

Kentucky is playing itself onto the bubble.

I wouldn't go that far...yet, but next week both Kentucky and Duke will be out of the top 25 in the same week.  Been awhile since that has happened. UCLA won't be there either.

...but that wasn't the guy's question. His question has been covered, 'I'm really a badger fan?

Since you follow the Gophers, that's a double sin for you

[GoldenZebra]

This should not really be a surprised to anyone, considering the schedule MU had, and the losses...

Yea, but they are Aggies. They were left out on that fact alone.

I was playing around with RPI Wizard trying to see what our RPI might be with certain win combinations. For fun I changed the Depaul game to a win. At the end of the season it usually boosted us by 11 spots. Depaul is the only ugly loss on the season so far. Committee can forgive a lot of sins if there are no bad losses. Unfortunately, Garrett got his phantom foul

that ugly loss to depaul just got a little lip stick put on it.  they just beat providence by 7 last night on their(depaul) floor.  now, we HAVE to beat them. they ain't no push-over.  hope we've learned something since

That blue blood is starting to look a bit more red when it's spilled.

Marquette's average home RPI was 69 and away 69.

Funny how that works.
