#32 now. Just 3 weeks ago, we had no chance to make the tournament, scheduling was terrible, we were NIT bound. Now 14-3; 5-1; RPI 32. :o Does anyone have the dates with rpi?
Come on now Lefty, who said we were NIT Bound?
You know as well as I do that everyone said we just need to win to take care of our RPI.
I asked somewhere else in this sea of threads, but here goes again: which RPI does the NCAA use when choosing for The Big Dance?

#31 today according to Ken Pomeroy.
BTW
I posted some info from kenpom.com in the past that has been corrected.
The formula for the road adjusted RPI is as follows:
a road loss will count as 0.6 in the loss column,
a road win will count as 1.4 in the win column,
a neutral court win or loss will still count as 1 in the win or loss column,
a home win will count as 0.6 in the win column, and
a home loss will count as 1.4 in the loss column.
I had previously read that 0.7 would be used instead of 0.6.
Ken Pomeroy has a blog on statistics that is very interesting and he has a three part discussion on the RPI formula.

The NCAA has their own formula and doesn’t calculate until the conference tournaments are over.
The rpi you see now are just projections and estimates of where a team would be if the season ended today.
Actually Lefty is right, there were some dumba$$es who claimed we were headed to the NIT. I see Pino has gone away.
Oh, I think he’ll be back.
