POLL WATCH

[Snapshot9]

Do they count the wins according to what your opponent is at the time of the game, or by what RPI your opponent ends up at, at the end of the season?

#21 Utah St vs. Nevada on the Deuce right now.

Two great Mids going at it.

At the end of the season. RPI only matters when the selection committee gets together to make their decisions.

Along with the best home crowd in the nation in my opinion. Oh and HCGM's too!

UCONN lost on their home court to Syracuse last night. Kemba tried too much to out shoot the Orange's zone and went 3-14 from the field. He finished with 8 points.

I just checked the latest RealTimeRPI. They have us at #39, but only going 22-7 (13-5). They have us losing to Northern Iowa, Evansville, and Missouri State.

They have Northern Iowa losing to Drake, Evansville, Bradley, and Creighton for a 11-7 record.

They have Missouri State not losing any more conference games and ending at 15-3.

Seriously, these RealTimeRPI robots need to stop jacking on. It's really not good for their health or prediction matrix.

[RoyalShock]

A couple things the RPI can't account for are recent trends and roster changes.

MSU is fading and UNI lost O'Rear. Of course, MSU can reverse that trend and how much UNI suffers remains to be seen.

[AndShock]

27th in AP, 32nd in Coaches.

Win @ UNI and we're in.

[RoyalShock]

I wouldn't be so sure. There is a wide gap between 25th (93 votes) and WSU (29 votes)

[ShockerFever]

We're getting some pretty good respect but Royal is right. There is a huge gap between 25th and 27th. We would need a couple teams to tank this week. If that happens, then we'd have a chance in the AP. The coaches' are always behind by about a week or two.

Just win baby.

Beat SIU and UNI.

See gap close.

I feel like a shark, and I smell blood in the water!!

Kung Wu has it right. If we beat SIU and then UNI, we should be ranked, but we will have to be extra careful not to have a letdown against Evansville on the road. The Shockers are circling their prey, let's just hope they can hone in for the kill!!!

I kind of feel like the Shocks are coming into their own, and they just need to keep it up. I want the Seniors, especially, to be able to get to the Dance.

Beat SIU. No other games matter right now. Take care of busienss at hand. Focus like a freaking laser! Barbecue some skinny dogs!
