After losing to Kentucky, Miss St is now only 2 places ahead of Akron. So much for a signature win.

Couple of notes: ORU just won the regular season title for the summit league. Morrison needs 6 points to hit the career 2000 mark. Thats crazy. Zeke needs 3 blocks to move into the top 5 all time in the MAC. 2 more wins till we get #500.

NIU- 328 Toledo- 269 CMU- 265 Ball- 234 EMU- 213 WMU- 184 These are our last 6 wins...all games that a loss would have been detrimental to our RPI, but a win doesn't really make it go up significantly. We need to get rid of the west. Beating Miami probably won't make it go back up that much with an RPI of 244. Thank goodness for ORU coming up.

2/11/12 (per CBS RPI) Opponent's RPI who Akron lost to: Valparaiso- 85 Duquesne- 80 WVU- 34 MTSU- 42 CSU- 68 VCU- 90 Buffalo- 86 Whoever thought that at this point our worst lost would be to VCU?

Nik 30 min, 0-6 fg, 3 to, 6 reb, 2 pts Brett 14 min, 0-5 fg, 1 to, 0 pts/ast/reb Why were they both in at the end of regulation and in ot?

Too soon.

OU started out 15-0...

Game got picked up by ESPNU.

It's been 4 years since they beat us and we have beaten them 6 times in that time span. 71-66 Zips get another road kill.

Are you referring to Kanye West's Power?

But there is a chance...

Poor #42...no name on his jersey......wrong jersey.....wrong number.....no basket. He is actually #3.

During a recent game on ESPN they said that the best win for the entire CAA was VCU's win over Akron.

VCU

A few key stats. Akron out rebounded EMU 41-25 including 17-9 in offensive boards. We only committed 11 fouls the entire game. When was the last time that happened? Attendance was great at 4,234 for playing a very bad D1 team.

Against Miami at the end of regulation it was 46-46....most exciting game ever? I think the Zips should cruise 72-58.

The majority of those TOs were when he was in the paint around the rim.

STO was in charge of the feed, not Akron. The T was for hanging on the rim.

Here is a copy of all D1 teams official team page that the committee will look at. DiG now has countless hours of fun ahead of him. http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public...mbb+team+sheets

per a Missouri St twitter: MO State Bear Nation @TheBearNation "Word floating around that it will be the #MSUBears vs Akron for the Bracketbuster. It will be on tv. #MVCHoops"

Andy Katz is guessing Loyola which would be a complete slap in the face since Akron is about the 4th highest road team and Lowola is about the 10th highest home team with an RPI about 30 lower than ours. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballn...busters-tonight

Where did you get this?

Thats because it gives Steve and Joe a break.

I was unaware about playing Marshall and MTSU again next year, will these be at the JAR? We have CSU for another 2 years at least. I'm excited about the Puerto Rico Tip-Off if thats what it is. There are always some good teams down there. I think we need to play a few teams who will be ranked in the 10-25 area so we have a solid chance at a good upset. I like all of the A-10 MVC, MWC ideas because they are teams who we should be able to schedule home games with. I would like to see us schedule Missouri St since their coach said that he wanted us for the Bracketbuster this year. I think if we are going to schedule teams with bad RPI like FAMU (RPI 344) or NCAT (RPI 258) we should schedule schools with a bad RPI that are name schools. Penn St (156), Auburn (151), South Carolina (164), Clemson (140), Wake Forest (157), or St Johns (171). Wins over these teams would still have the same effect on our RPI, but to the average fan would seem like really good wins.

FYI Northern Iowa is playing Missouri St on ESPNU right now. They are the team directly in front of us in highest RPI out of road teams. A loss should move the Zips up a spot in the hierarchy of best road teams.
