Looks like OSU's RPI is going all the way up to 43. Great news for CU
Pac-12 MBB standings are insane. Especially if Utah beats Washington tonight.
1. Washington (5-1)
2. Oregon (5-2)
3t. Arizona (4-3)
3t. Colorado (4-3)
3t. Cal (4-3)
3t. Stanford (4-3)
3t. USC (4-3)
8. Utah (3-3)
9t. Oregon State (3-4)
9t. UCLA (3-4)
11t. Arizona State (1-6)
11t. Washington State (1-6)
It says it all that Utah is a 4.5 point favorite at Washington tonight. Doesn't look so hot having our top team with an RPI of 58. Huskies need to either climb up the RPI or GTFO.
Per live-rpi.com, 8 PAC teams in the RPI top 50(Stanford at 50), with UCLA at 51. Oregon the highest at 6. Can't help but think CU would be in the top 10 if they could have held on vs. SMU and Utah. Still at 23 though.
Yep, we're very very strong overall in RPI. Just meant it was out of whack that Washington would be leading the Pac and yet be so low (they've since dropped to 72 with their loss last night. Huskies have some work to do).
Monday:
Penn State 11-9 (2-5) @ Ohio State 12-8 (4-3): The Buckeyes sit with a decent 4-3 mark in the B1G, but then you see they've already faced Rutgers, Minnesota and Illinois all in Columbus (those 3 have a combined record of 2-20 in B1G play). The reality is Ohio State just isn't very good. They're an NIT team. Penn State enters with an RPI of 96. This is one they could possibly steal. Still unlikely, but possible. Buckeyes favored by 8.5
Hampton 11-7 (7-0) vs South Carolina State 10-11 (5-2): Hampton's roll in conference play continues. Unfortunately the MEAC is so weak that piling up the wins can only take you so far. The Pirates' RPI is still just 182.
Nicholls State 5-15 (1-5) vs Northwestern State 3-14 (0-7): This may very well be the last time Nicholls wins a game all season...not that a win is assured.
#19 Iowa State 15-4 (4-3) vs #3 Kansas 16-3 (5-2): Cyclones should be in for a nice job in the rankings when they come out after a week that included a win over #1 Oklahoma. All of a sudden everyone in the Big XII has at least 2 losses, so the Cyclones are right back in the thick of things. Kansas knocked off Texas at home Saturday, but still looked a bit off. The Jayhawks have not looked particularly good since that insane game against Oklahoma a couple weeks back. Cyclones favored by 2 in this one.
Pretty big Monday. That ISU game is going to be great. 7:00 on ESPN.
Penn State got crushed. They're falling apart.
Auburn is somehow leading at half. Weird game.
We really need Fortune to get out of this slump.
Maybe it's not a slump.
It is, though. He's a streak shooter. Could go off at any time and hit 6 treys in a game to blow an opponent off the court.
