I know RPI is really useless at this point in the year...but I just checked it and was quite impressed...as of right now we're 40 according to realtimerpi.com

[LUconn]

thanks for posting something you think is useless.

[TDDance234]

It's still exciting to see LU at that high a spot. However, it will be as equally depressing to watch it tumble.

I believe we'll be talking about RPI a little longer then the game thread so I figured we'd start one




bite me LUconn lol and i hope that gets me kicked off here

[kingaling42]

Yeah.. and Butler, Gonzaga, & Utah are the 3 best teams in the nation... give this RPI topic some time to breathe & some rest until towards the end of the year.. That's like saying UNCA is first in the Big South- technically that's true but even I don't believe we're that good this year...

Actually your second.... CSU is 1st...just thought id correct you

[Fumblerooskies]

Wasn't LU up in the top 40 during Hank's 2nd year? How did that work out. Do not get all worked up, folks.

[jcmanson]

I don't think anyone's getting worked up, but it's fun to follow especially considering how many years in a row we were in the high 200s and 300s.

[treyjman24]

[i77cat]

Better than RPI---- http://kenpom.com/conf.php?y=2009&c=BSth&t=p
The number for Liberty isn't as good, but Ken Pomeroy's analysis is brilliant.

[kingaling42]

And when did that become a tie-breaker regarding BS standings??

MEAC and SWAC representing at the bottom of the rankings.

[Fumblerooskies]

and one of the schools from those two loser conferences will NOT have to play in the play-in game. What a farce.

[olldflame]

Wow, somewhat of a surprise to see UNCG down there.

[i77cat]

UNCG is dreadful. Charlotte's only win is over G. G got rocked by Central Arkansas. They have some players, but they have a long way to go. Don't be surprised if Citadel comes in and beats them this week.

[Hold My Own]

There's really no reason for them to be THAT bad...I mean it's a nice campus with a lot of nice luxuries...yes there are a ton of gays and yes it's in the ghetto but still there are a lot of good reasons to go

[SuperJon]

UNCG isn't in the ghetto.

[Hold My Own]

compare to HP...no...but its not the best part of town....then again I guess having a gun pulled on me changed my opinion as well


I pretty much spent a year there...enjoyed it alot...one of my favorite campus's b/c the baseball field is centrally located and you can hear the ping anywhere on campus...not to mention it's a top 25 stadium

[flamesbball84]

well for one thing, UNCG graduated Kyle Hines who was a nasty player and was an all-american. It's kind of hard to replace that kind of player at that level.

[flamesbball84]

interesting little state provided by ken pomeroy

3-Point Tracker (D-I vs. D-I only)
2009 to date.... 3PM/3PA:33.7% 3PA/FGA:33.2%
2008 season.... 3PM/3PA:35.1% 3PA/FGA:34.4%

The 3 point % has gone down 1.4%, which is a difference of 4.16 points after 99 shots, so nothing, basically.

[flamesbball84]

Ken Pomeroy also has LU ranked 4th in the BSC behind VMI, GW, and Presby. That is obviously due to the SOS, as LU has the 209th ranked SOS, which is the third worst in the BSC, only topping charleston southern and coastal.

[kingaling42]

Problem with talking about the real time RPI (or any other RPI) right now is less than 12 hours later from the original post by HMO- LU dropped from 40 to 58.. & what did LU do to drop 18 spots- Practice?? Perhaps the guys had the day off- Obviously other teams played today but I dunno..

Can we resume the RPI talks in mid February or so when they start to really take shape??
