Apparently it does happen.
Been visiting my cyber stalker on the Cajun board to see how they were doing in baseball and ran across this post: "We wouldn't be a bubble team if we hadn't played St. Peters
That's not true. A few years ago South Alabama had a rpi of 38 and did not get a bid."
I thought we should have gotten an at large bid at least one year in basketball during the years Mike White was our coach but I don't know how we stood in the RPI thing or understand how it works.
For the moment at least, we have moved up to #34 RPI after the win over Marshall today.
Today (5/15) RPI at 34 (+5) on Warren Nolan. UTSA 90, UNCC 84, FIU 73, FAU 72, Rice 60, ODU at 41, USM 16
What does RPI stand for? (an old fart wants to know)
Tech's non-conference RPI is 14!
Good old Memorial Gym
I don't think the committee really looks at non-conference RPI, but they do consider non-conference SOS. Our non-conference SOS is 111 right now. They want to see teams that challenged themselves by playing tough non-conference schedules and not a bunch of cupcakes.
Climber to 33 this morning -
ODU @ 39
Southern @ 15
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Tuesday's bracket projection from Warren Nolan has 3 C-USA teams in. They have us as a 3-seed at Oklahoma, USM as a 2-seed at LSU, and ODU as a 2-seed at Kentucky.
