Idaho State's women's team ranks 54th, the highest of any Big Sky team, in the NCAA's RPI rankings:

Meanwhile ESPN has Idaho's women ranked No. 8 in its Mid-Major Poll:

8. Idaho (7-1)

Since last rankings: Neutral-site wins vs. Iowa State (97-65) and Texas State (75-55), home wins vs. Wyoming (61-57) and Northwest Christian (71-48), neutral-site loss vs. Duke (74-68)

In the spotlight: Aussies in Moscow (Idaho). The Vandals scared Duke with 3-pointers and buried Iowa State with them. Their four leading scorers combine to make nearly nine 3-pointers per game and shoot 37 percent (including 9-of-11 from Taylor Pierce against Iowa State) from behind the arc. That same quartet also has 32 more assists than turnovers, primarily through senior Connie Ballestero. And as with so many stories in the college game these days, there is an Australian involved. Idaho lost an Australian who averaged 20 points as a senior last season, Stacey Barr, but countrywoman Geraldine McCorkell had 18 points against Duke and 24 points against Iowa State in thus-far superb sophomore season.

What's ahead: It won't take long to know if Idaho will stick around. A trip to Texas Tech on Dec. 9 is followed by a trip to Oregon State on Dec. 12.
 
Idaho lost to Texas Tech, 78-62. Very similar to the score when TX Tech beat us, 79-64.

The ISU men jumped up a bunch in the daily RPI rankings after last night's win. They're ranked around the 202 mark, which isn't great, but still better than the 300's. UVU has been in the low 300's, but they beat Weber tonight in double OT. Wish it could have gone into another OT or 2 ;)

It's kind of entertaining to watch the melt down on the Weber State message board. The "fire Rahe" crowd is out in force.
 
It was real nice to see the women defeat BSU in Boise 80-77 tonight. After Grace Kenyon and Hochstein both went down with injuries I thought things would be somewhat grim for the Bengals, but they're playing very well. Nice to see Lyman getting some more minutes.
