Salukis win over Bears--SIU won without top,scorer and without Sean O'Brien the last seven minutes (O'Brien fouled out)---maybe Barry IS a pretty good floor coach

Pretty sure "computer numbers" should be revised to "RPI" or else that argument just committed a very messy seppuku.

Yup, the vast majority of "computer numbers" have WSU Top 30. Too bad RPI still matters most it seems

You're correct. RPI.

Don't see a realistic ncaa/nit path for MSU, so now I'm rooting against them the balance of the season because Lusk is the worst non-Drake coach and needed to be pinkslipped yesteryear.

Just don't want him to go 10-8 and somehow keep his job.

I'd think Barry is a top 3 "xs and os" coach in this league. Maybe top 4 if you put Wardle ahead of him.

1. Jake
2. Gregg
3. Barry

Ramblers making a statement in the opening minutes. Leading Bradley by 13, hitting everything.

If you're a Valley fan... it's ISU we should be cheering for to run the table... not Wichita.


Whether you like it or not, WSU has just as good a chance of getting an at-large with name alone than Illinois State has. And neither is any good. Whether deserving or not, WSU has clout. Illinois State does not.

Illinois State also has zero quality wins on their resume. Zero. They also have a really bad loss to Murray State. Even with a rip of wins against Valley competition, you're looking at an RPI in the 30's with no meat on the resume. The committee will have multiple reasons to leave you out. Period.

WSU's 96 RPI is more about bad luck than actual performance. Now for sure, WSU choked away their only chances of quality wins. But at the end of the day, both teams are probably equal and will be determined throughout the rest of the conference season. Until WSU is unseated, they still are king - whether you like it or not.

And soon enough, WSU may be out of this conference and then everyone can really cheer for everyone else like you all do anyway.

The weiner measuring contest over my 18-0 is better than your 18-0 is silly and premature.


Yep. retire12 is really feeling it now. They start 3-0 for the first time in God knows how long... and here comes all the chirping.

Par for the course.

And they think WSU fans are annoying...

Loyola wins 78-62 over Bradley and we saw an amazing night from Doyle. 35 points 11 rebounds
