16-17 Games of Interest

[WstateU]

Per RPIForecast:

Tulsa has a ~29% chance of finishing the regular season at 17-13 or better against D1 opponents. 17 wins projects an RPI of 87.1. 16 wins projects an RPI of 103.2, which would be within striking distance of the Top 100 entering the AAC Tournament.

Colorado State has a ~27% chance of finishing the regular season at 18-11 or better against D1 opponents. 18 wins projects an RPI of 89.6. 17 wins projects an RPI of 105.4, which would be within striking distance of the Top 100 entering the MWC Tournament.

Loyola has a ~20% chance of finishing the regular season at 20-9 or better against D1 opponents. 20 wins projects an RPI of 87.7 and may involve losing only to WSU (at Chicago) and ISUr (at Normal) down the stretch. 19 wins projects an RPI of 103.7, which would be within striking distance of the Top 100 entering Arch Madness.

Oklahoma, LSU and the rest have lottery-esque odds of improving from their current tier and are not worth analyzing. Tulsa, CSU and Loyola are our primary non-Shocker rooting interests over the next 5 weeks.

Also add that we need to root for MSU and OSU to start winning again and make sure they have as high (low?) of RPI as possible.

CSU was down by at least 17 to Boise State in the first half. Have it back to 9 with 6:30 to go in the game. ESPN 3.

[WheatShock]

CSU loses 79 - 76 to Boise. They had their chances but couldn't quite overcome some mistakes.

[wusphlash]

CSU gets back to within 1 before making a series of bad plays. They lose by 3. Does nobody hear our prayers?

Saint Louis going double OT with George Mason. Keeping ISUR and UNI off the tube.

I know should be cheering for St Louis but I just want it to end.

[Cdizzle]

Lol at these reviews. I hope they miss the entire first half.

[Dave Stalwart]

When KU loses to Baylor at home that should propel the Hawks to #1

[Cdizzle]

Talk about a horseshit game-winner for SLU. Ha

[wusphlash]

Saint Louis wins on a prayer. Someone listened.
