Is this the same Vol squad that beat the brakes off of the mild-cats? The same mild-cats that got homered vs. the Chickens?

The same mild cats who made a big statement that they belong in the dance after last nights big win. In that jockey for the Big 12's 6th team to the dance.

Colorado St. may have an outside shot of making the RPI Top 50. They would need to win out, and get some help with facing the right opponents in the MWC tournament.

Other teams to keep an eye on:
Tulsa still has a path to the Top 100. It's not likely, but it is within reason.
SDSU has a path to get inside the Top 200.

It would seem so.

Unfortunately, I think CSU could win out and would still max out around the low 50s of the RPI. With that said:

1) That would still be really good.
2) With a little help from other teams in the 50ish area losing, it would be *possible* to reach top 50.
3) Regardless, I'm thrilled CSU has finished so strong and is now a lock for the top 90 regardless of how things play out.

#24 Iowa State 76 @ #10 West Virginia 87

Not sure if that is a good enough quality loss of Iowa State to pass the Shocks in the rankings or not.

You know it is.

Indiana is just a bad basketball team.

The OSU not that much better.

The Big Ten is just bad basketball. Period.

Creighton plays at Marquette today. Fun fact, they are in third place at 10-7. Marquette, Seton Hall and Providence are all 9-8 and directly behind CU in 4th-6th place.

I haven't checked the tie breaker stuff, but if all three of those teams win today, Creighton might fall all the way from 3rd to 6th with a loss today.

Speaking of Big Ten, I've watched this Illinois-Rutgers game down the stretch. I'm trying to figure out on what planet is Illinois even sniffing the bubble. Absolutely horrendous basketball and the only reason they're winning by 2 with 2 minutes to go is because Rutgers couldn't play their way out of a high school game.

[ShockerFever]

Welp, Jerry's gonna have to squirm again and bump another team in front of WSU, as Illinois falls at Rutgers 62-59 lol

[ShockerGirl]

John Groce is coaching for his job and can't even beat Rutgers.

Blowjays about ready to give up another hundy-bomb to Marquette, trailing 52-42 at the half. #225 #BIGEAST
