Great win for Cleveland State winning at Butler. Also, Loyola goes on an 11 to 1 run during the last two minutes of the game to win 66 to 63, which also is a good win.

Commentary (*=Key Games)

Best games of the day include: Davidson at Appalachian State, Ohio at Akron, and Weber State versus Montana

In addition, the MVC is now in the top three games with: Creighton, Northern Iowa, and Wichita State. Also, the MVC is still within range of capturing seven ESPN Bracketbuster TV games.

@WuShock Reaper:, North Dakota State does play South Dakota, but you list South Dakota St's RPI for South Dakota. This is probably not a Key Game based on the others I see.

Nothing to do with honesty. You're providing a boat load of info and errors will happen.

Another good night for potential WSU/MVC Bracketbuster opponents. Only one slipup, and it can hardly be considered that as Ohio was on the road at a good opponent the Akron Zips.

Best game of the day is: Iona at home against Loyola-Maryland, but the other two games are not too bad either tonight.

Iona held Loyola-Maryland scoreless for the last four minutes of the game. Now that is some lockdown defense right there.

Cleveland could not pick-up the critical road win at Valp. How bad will the loss hurt their chances? We will see tomorrow.

Butler did what it needed to do this afternoon and still stays in contention for an ESPN Bracketbuster TV game.

I want WICHITA STATE AT MURRY STATE on ESPN!!
I cant imagine a better game than this? WSU is one of the best ROAD TEAMS in the country and Murray State is undefeated....
plus both have great RPI's

[Capitol Shock II]

That would be the best possible match up. And losing to them wouldn't have a negative impact on our chances.

When are pairings announced?

[wuhog]

Sorry. Just read first of thread. Premature questioning.

[ABC]

Is there a list of the top RPI teams with home games vs. the top RPI teams that will be on the road?
