Rep the Big Sky well!

Thanks, and I hope we will, but I'm sure we are looking at a 1st or 2nd seed. Still, we can dream for awhile.

We were able to draw a 12 seed when we beat Nevada a while ago, and I think you guys could draw atleast a 13 or 14?

Not with the low RPI, and bad loss to San Jose State.

That CSU loss won't help either.

Our RPI is 90, which I think is good (best I've ever seen !!):

How many teams making the tourney so far are below us?? I guess that's the key, is it not?
i.e.: San Diego, Winthrop, Mount St. Mary's are below us. How many others?? If there are 8, then we should be at least 14 seed.......right?

No. RPI is one of many factors that determine placement, and the given RPI sytem isn't necessarily the one they go with. As to teams PSU should be above, you'd hope San Diego, but the WCC has a higher conference RPI. Otherwise MSM and Alabama State. Everybody else is a wild card.

Congrats, PSU fans. You have earned it fair and square. The next few years of basketball are looking pretty much like a root canal for everyone else in the conference. /users/31/07/37/smiles/784240.gif

I hope you're right, but you never know. An injury here or there, academic problems, etc. It does look good for the forseeable future on paper, but I'm sure the rest of the Big Sky will be gunning for us. I wouldn't want it any other way. Go Viks!
