Best Valley Win of the Season so far?

[Capitol Shock II]

I'm a homer but UNLV is looking pretty good. Especially given the final score.

2. Indiana State beating Vanderbilt at Vandy.
3. Creighton beating SDSU.
4. Many of UNI's wins.

Missouri State has a couple of good opportunities coming up against West Virginia and Saint Mary's. If they are able to take care of one or both of those teams the Valley will be an interesting place this season. Whether the pundits will want to admit it or not will be another story.

Indiana State's victory over Vandy and UNLV's win over #19 Illinois were very welcome this weekend.

Can't hurt our cause whenever our conference members (whether you hate their guts or not) and those OC teams we've beaten, or got beaten by, win significant games.

Because of the margin of WSU's win over UNLV, that should be in the equation.

UNI has some solid wins, but I don't see any barn burners (Old Dominion, Iowa, Providence). Their best win is against Colorado State (#44). Iowa State is #59, Old Dominion is #114.

UNI could be looking at a "Barry Hinson" year. They have a great RPI, but aren't going to have quality OOC wins. The Committee seems to use that as an elimination factor. UNI needs either a top-2 finish in the Valley or an impressive BB win against a respected top-50 program.

IDK, Creighton winning at SDSU is pretty impressive

[KC Shox]

It maybe just me, but no doubt the Valley has multiple bids this tourney and MAYBE even 3. The Valley is getting a lot of national press so far, the so-called experts at selection time will have undoubtedly have heard of the Valley's exploits. It will be a lot tougher for them to deny entry.

The wife get your login again KC?

Creighton at SDSU is better than ISUB's @ Vandy in real life, but I agree at the end of the year, the Vandy win will look better. Vandy doesn't have a good win yet, but does have some impressive losses.

UNLV RPI is now #10 and Colorado is #97. Indiana State is up to #16.

I used my time machine to go back two months so I could give you this news. In "our time" (Feb. 18, 2011), the best win of the season so far is the 20 point victory by WSU over CU on Feb. 11, 2012.

If you were from the future you would know that we beat Creighton by 39 in Omaha. We beat them by 20 in Wichita on New Years Eve.

If the Valley does well in the BB then we could get 3 or even 4 bids again if the top 4 teams dominate the conference and only lose against each other.

This could be another year like 2006. But even if the top 4 teams take care of business in the conference a loss by one of those 4 teams in the BB could eliminate them.

I think the CU win @ SDSU trumps our win @ Vandy Saturday, regardless, both are good wins, as well as your win over UNLV

RealTime RPI just updated.

Charleston Southern 113
Colorado 98
Alabama 24
Temple 43
UAB 152
CSU Fullerton 219
UNLV 8
Tulsa 176
Utah St. 222
Chicago St. 313

Bradley 137
Creighton 36
Drake 91
Evansville 279
Illinois St. 226
Indiana St. 14
Missouri State 90
Northern Iowa 3
Southern Ill. 336

Looking at the reminaing schedules, there is no way Charleston Southern will sneak back into the top 100. It will also be nearly impossible foir Utah State or Fullerton to break the top 100.

Colorado could stay top 100.

UAB and Tulsa could sneak in to the top 100, based mostly on the strength of Conference USA. There are some bottom feeders though too. For Tulsa, the have a good upcoming RPI game against Creighton. For RPI reasons I think we root for Tulsa. CU is likely to remain a top 50 or top 100 team.
