I ran some other programs to compare to the numbers they found for WSU. Pretty simple statistic: road and neutral site wins against the top 75 RPI in the last three regular seasons.
One caveat. I'm pretty sure WSU doesn't get to play the top 25 nearly as often as the KUs and Dukes of the world. This probably means that WSU's road record vs the top 75 is based on an easier group (more focused on 26-75) than Duke's same grouping. The numbers I posted here http://shockernet.net/forum/showthre...eat-vs-Top-100 seem to backup this concept. I only point this out because all "vs top 75" groupings aren't necessarily created equal and direct comparison of winning % isn't always the entire story.
That said, these are really cool numbers that do show WSU has been an excellent road team over the past several years. One of the best in the country. If Fever will allow, Ill even go so far as to call it "amazing"!

That's the first thing I thought of. If someone could post all the schools and their RPI's that each team played on the road over those three years, we could see if that's the case.
"When you think about players as talented as Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, and Joel Embiid it is just tough to think the Shockers will be able to pull off another miracle run that ends up going all the way this time."
Yeah, just like Kevin Pangos, Kelly Olynyk, Aaron Craft or Deshaun Thomas. We better pack it in boys. This was a fun run but there's no use playing in March, it's already been decided!
I just want to stand on land...
@rjl:
If I had a gun with two bullets and was in a room with Hitler, Bin Laden, and a Creighton fan, I think I'd shoot the Creighton fan twice.
