    Butler just beat Purdue to give a negative tickle-down effect to the PR tourney.

    Temple loses to Texas 77-65.

      And it was on the road! Unfortunately, Northern Illinois' RPI was 321, but SIU's RPI still moved up to 334. That officially puts them out of the bottom 10 in D1.

        To say Bradley got off to a slow start is quite an accomplishment in understatement. Bu managed to put 4 points on the board in the first 8 minutes of their game to drop behind Drexel 15-4 at that point.

        Since then, the Braves are playing it pretty much even up.

        Drexel - 60
        Bu - 47

        with about 7 minutes left.

          On a rare bright note today, UNLV is beating Illinois 33-22 at halftime at Illinois.

          Just saw that Bradley had tied it up with Drexel at 65-65 with 2:30 to play.

                  Rebs can't play half court offense with the lead. They don't know how to run clock and make good decisions when they have a big lead.

                    The Rebs will win. You can take that to the bank

                      That UNLV win is going to look very, very good on an NCAA resume.

                        Our old pal Sam Maniscalco had a real tough game for the Illini. 1-10 from the field, 1-7 from 3.

                            WSU has a great schedule this year for good RPI wins. Much of it is due to the strong MVC, but nonetheless.

                            Clearly things will change but, as of now, we have a lot of opportunities in front of us.

                            KenPom are listed first, RealTime RPI is listed second. And there are some big differences b/t the two. Maybe someone can 'splain.

                            UNLV (win) #27. #25
                            Tulsa (Win) #95, #175
                            UNI 2X, #37, #3
                            Creighton 2x, #55, #26
                            Indiana State 2x, #101, #31
                            Missouri State 2x, #64, #80
                            Drake, 2x, #159, #70
                            Bracket Busters (sure to be a top 100, and probably a top 30-40 RPI)

                            Depending upon the remainder of the season, these games/victories could end up being top 100 wins.

                            Illinois State, #116, #254 (huge difference. why? )
                            Utah State, #127, #206
                            Colorado, #138, #105
                            UAB, #154, #153
                            Charleston Southern, #212, #115
                            Bradley #196, #110

                              Trees may pull the upset over a good (but overrated with the injury to their center) Vandy team. Up 2 under a minute.

                              UNLV rolls on the road over previously unbeaten Illinois, 64-48.

                                KenPom has his own formula, it really has no relation to RPI.

                                ISUb is going to win @ #25 Vandy. Good win.
