Do you think TECH gets the nod in a "tie" due to hosting? I believe we are in, and I think that hosting will help. Let's face it, they still need fans and there will be a tiny crowd without TECH and a pretty decent one with them there.

I have been thinking it was going to be tonight the whole time. Dang it......... Oh well, one more day of panic by some, but I feel confident.

Missouri State was 50th in the RPI entering today's game as posted in the RPI thread and linked in this one with each update... We wanted them to stay in the 26-50 grouping, but they will probably trade places with LSU who had an RPI of 51...

Tech is 28 in the new RPI listing after Sunday's games.
Now 0-0 against the Top 25, 3-4 vs 26-50, 3-3 vs 51-100.
There are 16 auto-bids below the Top 50 RPI.
Not beating Houston at home and not having a full strength roster are keeping Tech from being an absolute lock, though I think with Tech hosting it will be in at least as an 11 seed.

When is the selection show?
Tonight, 6PM CST.When is the selection show?
I was just joking, because of 06's comment about me not reading yesterday.
The Selection Show begins in less than 30 minutes on ESPN. It can also be viewed on ESPN3.com.

how accurate is the predicitions are the link we have been looking at for the process in th past?
Might be nice to play Marquette again since we know them and need to get some payback here!
McNeese might bring some fans to the centrytell as well!
ESPN touts Lunardi as being correct on 97% of his predictions... Apparently he was off this year... We will find out very soon...
