Who are BYU's quality wins?

I really do not know. But they must have done something to have an RPI 21 spots better than us. And they played the 17th hardest schedule in the nation.

I cannot name their quality wins, but can you tell me why they had an RPI 21 spots higher than us?

I certainly cannot, but then again, I am not very smart.

believe they beat a decent Gonzaga team and Stanford and that's about it. SHAMEFUL that they're in over us

Just like LB said, the fact that UL is a 4 seed tells us everything we need to know. They have no respect for the AAC. Cheer on the AAC teams that are there, and make a push for the NIT. That's all we can do now.

that hurts my head...I will just sum up they were 21 RPI spots ahead of us and had 22 wins.

[LA_Mustang]

The fifth place team in our conference (Memphis) beat their conference winner (Gonzaga).

I remember pointing to that game and thinking that was going to play a role. Guess I was wrong.

The BPI which many feel is a better ranking than the RPI had us at 33 and BYU at 42. We had 23 wins to their 22.

[tristatecoog]

BYU was 8-7 vs. Top 100 RPI teams. The wins were Stanford, St Mary's and USF away, UT and USF neutral and St Mary's, Gonzaga and USF at home. Lots of big name losses like Oregon, Iowa State, UMass and Wichita St.
SMU was 4-6.

BYU was 19-11 vs. Top 200 teams.
SMU was 13-8.

BYU was 3-0 vs. 200+ teams.
SMU was 10-1.

Not too different but better road performance and stronger overall SOS.

[PonySnob]

Nic Moore and his propensity for fouls ultimately hurt us......along with shooting 0-fer in a game.
