We are going to win today and our RPI is going to go down

soggy bread.

i can't stand soggy bread.

Litterers. And grammar errors.

Pretty standard for quarterfinal matches in just about every conference for #1 seeds.

Thankfully, basketball still gives everybody a chance to play. Some conferences in sports like women's soccer have gone to four-team conference tournaments simply to protect the RPIs of the top teams, which is kind of disgusting in a way and totally goes against the idea of giving student-athletes the chance to actually compete in sports.

Thank goodness we have the opportunity to have our RPI lowered. I can remember when we were the ones that lowered some other teams RPI

Yeah, that really sucks. Sadly, half this conference is traditionally solid basketball programs with a couple programs pulling their weight (SMU and Tulsa). In the scheme of things Tulane and USF are the schools that have not pulled their weight in football or basketball. All of the other schools have at least pulled their weight in one or the other. I have enjoyed being in the conference so far, but it is an awkward fit with schools that you would never think would be in the same conference together. It is a huge step above C-USA, but I really am wondering when it will be gobbled up by realignment. Only a matter of time...

The pitch story

I just wanna see us win a conference tourney game. I could care less about RPI.

Assuming we will win a conference tournament game for the first time since 2006 before the game has happened.

anything TCU.

The fact that my Saturday ticket did not arrive at my home via UPS until just now meaning I'll be watching today's game on the tube. Rolling everything back 24 hours in my world. I had planned on seeing two games live, in person and a third on TV. I still plan on that but now the live games will be a Saturday and Sunday.

Go Ponies!!

They'll need you more tomorrow and Sunday than today. Sucks, but this is better.

Crowds are dismal. You can probably by any ticket at the stadium and sit anywhere.

I think Ursuline could drain 12 3 pointers against us.

Wisconsin's unis. Those annoy me.
