Title: Nice win over Mizzou today.... Post by: Coupe De VOL on February 18, 2017, 09:30:51 EST They did a good job of holding onto the lead. They really need to finish strong in these last four

Funny how the RPI works......We got butt kicked by KY and our RPI improved 3 spots. We win by 20 today and our RPI dropped 4 spots. We are just outside of the top 50 RPI at 51.

Mizzou's RPI coming into today was 251- that number is pretty astonishing for a Power 5 team. This is why the SEC needs to mandate that all of its members schedule better. Even if you're a bad team, your RPI will still hold up if you've played a good schedule. Playing a team with an RPI that low, even if you beat them by 30, will hurt you. And that's bad for the entire league. Title: Re: Nice win over Mizzou today.... Post by: Tnphil on February 18, 2017, 11:42:01 EST Mizzou's RPI coming into today was 251.

Agree.....Over the years the RPI has hurt the SEC when it came to tourney time....Even teams with 19-20 wins. Also having a bad SOS has hurt the SEC in the past.

One of the worst major conference teams to come in to TBA - ever.

One of the worst major conference teams to come in to TBA - ever. One of the worst visiting teams, maybe. Those guys still would've smoked Wade Houston's last UT team. :frown: Title: Re: Nice win over Mizzou today....
