NC State pulling away late. 58-47 with 2 minutes to go. :grumpy:

NC Central continues to be a bright spot. Move to 7-2 with a win over Winthrop.

[shock]

Great question. I lean towards SLU but don't know which one benefits us most...

I'll help you. We play ISUb twice, perhaps three times.

Indiana State down 34-27 to St. Louis at the half.

[shock]

Only of interest because Coop is coaching Miami of Ohio, but they are playing UMKC in KC tonight. I peeked in on ESPN3 briefly and it was something like 18-17 UMKC with about four minutes to go in the first half. I noticed on the court that UMKC is now in the WAC, so I went Googling to see the current WAC membership. Holy cow has that conference changed! The current roster:

Cal State Bakersfield
Chicago State
Grand Canyon Univ
Idaho
UMKC
New Mexico State
Seattle Univ
Texas-Pan American
Utah Valley

Is New Mexico State the PIT?

EDIT: nope

New Mexico

Fred VanVleet is killing North Carolina right with clutch shooting. :-)

Texas up by 5 with 41 seconds left..

I think I might hold off on calling them a bright spot until after we beat them.

Stanford is playing #10 Uconn. I believe BYU beat Stanford earlier this season so it'd be nice for them to win this game against @Uconn.

Deputy Dog wants a flagrant 2 on Texas. Refs checking the monitors.

I don't understand all the ways rpi is calculated but would a Texas win over NC help WSU? We have common opponents. It sure would have been nice to have played them in KC.

Grand Canyon 40
Tulsa 37
16:55 2nd

Grand Canyon is a potential 300+ RPI team.

Roy is getting all the calls tonight.

Can't have Texas leave Chapel Hill with a win.

The bottom of that page has the "weight" of each team that affects Wichita State's RPI. Texas has a weight of .05 for us, while UNC has a weight of .03. The game has basically no effect on us because the difference is negligible.

Thanks. I'd still like to NC lose
