The Evansville loss dropped us to 38th on the combined RPI-kenpom rankings. Creighton is ahead at 31st (kenpom loves Creighton). Lunardi's last 4 in are Temple (52), Kentucky (40), Villanova (55) and Ole Miss (50). Win tomorrow and I think the team is a lock.

Still trying to figure out the logic behind Creighton being a 10 and us being a 13.

Because Jerry Palm is a ****** hack. Do NOT read into ANY of his bracket projections. They are 100% ****.

[rialaigh]

projected first four out is my bet for this coming week

Why, do you even know how most the teams currently on the weak bubble are performing?

lot of the last four in and last four in lost. We are fine, but need to win one in St Louis. Jeez we have some negative Nancy's on here.

Yep. Our RPI actually rose tonight to 38.

I think we'd need one more bad loss or a lot of upsets in conference tournaments to be out of the tournament. Have to win our first game, at a minimum. Can't afford a loss to MSU or SIU.

If we just win 1, we'll have to do some intense scoreboard watching and root against a lot of mid-major bid thieves.

Let's win at least 2.

[SubGod22]

We're in. Plain and simple.

[wusphlash]

We're in. Plain and simple.

In my heart I agree with you. Still, history keeps me somewhat paranoid. Each victory in St. Louis will help slay the demons.

Just saw a tweet from Lunardi. He said as of today, he has us as a 10 or 11 seed.

[GoShockers89]

We're #39 on Lunardi's S-Curve as of today.

For context: He currently projects Teams 1-42 to be at-large worthy with an 80%+ chance at a bid. Teams 47, 50-52 are his at-large play-in teams.

One week from today we will be driving home from St. Louis, exceedling happy, maybe giddy, as a result of WSU's first MVC tournament championship since 1988.

According to the latest bracket matrix, WSU is IN the dance in ALL 96 brackets and our average seeding is 9.58 for a 10 seed:
