Is terribly subjective....emphasis on terribly. The writer must use an expectation of what your schedule should be as a baseline because otherwise how you can possibly give us a 5 when you give Indiana State a 7?

Indiana St. has Wichita St. on their schedule. Twice. That makes for at least a 7. Yeah, that's in league, but it still plays into the perception. Plus Medcalf is a WSU-hating nimrod.Originally posted by WuDrWu View PostComment

A weight lifting task that is a 10 in difficulty for me is a 1-2 for a world's strongest man contestant. Difficulty varies by ability. Same principle here.Originally posted by WuDrWu View Post"Cotton scared me - I left him alone." - B4MSU (Bear Nation poster) in reference to heckling playersComment

That's fair. But only if you also include 'ability' to schedule good games to even it out. For instance, Syracuse would probably rate below zero.Originally posted by The Mad Hatter View PostComment

Who did the Shockers piss off in the CBE office to play against William and Mary and Tennessee State while DePaul is playing Southern Miss and Wright State?Comment

Well, Tennessee State finished the regular season at around 105 in the RPI, better than Wright State, at least. They'll feature two returning double-figure scorers, one being former SE product Jordan Cyphers.
W&M? um ... no way to put a happy face on that one, (12-17, 270 RPI) other than to say that they return 6 of 7 top scorers and should be better.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Last year Tennessee State (OVC, 3rd in the East division, 4th overall) had an RPI of 108. They lost 3 of their top 4 scorers, including former Wichitan Jordan Cyphers. They return Patrick Miller (6'1 Sr G, 14.6 ppg) and MJ Rhett (6'9 Jr F, 5.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg).
WMU returns 6 of their top 7 scorers from last year, when they had an RPI of 261, finishing 8th in the 11-team CAA.
I have no idea what's expected of them or who they have coming in, but based on returning players, I could see both being right around 200 RPI, with WMU perhaps a little better. At least on the surface it appears we'll avoid a 250+ RPI stinker in the CBE.Comment

I went to TSU's official site and didn't see Cyphers on the roster. I thought he was a 5th-year senior last season?Originally posted by Wuzee View PostComment

Probably correct. I was using cbssports roster and adding a year, but they're not that reliable, maybe.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying.

I'd rather play DII schools than RPI 200+ schools. If this is what we get from the CBE, then the only thing going for it is that it is easy to travel to, and I'm not sure it is worth it for us. Funny, it is a good tournament most years except when we are in it.Comment

"Yes. I have seen a letter with 9/23/13 at 10:00 a.m. to a pretty high level supporter"
I got a rock ...... 10:00 Sept 26, four letters (say it ain't so). Unfortunately I can count my "points" on two hands. :livid: Perhaps I should have taken that Wall St job with Lehman Brothers back in the summer of '08. I'll certainly be a buyer on Sept 26 however.
