Jumped 10 spots...now sitting at #49 with two wins last week...bubble bursting at 51. Teams ranked right above us...

45. Xavier
46. Mississippi St.
47. Washington
48. Miami

Miss St. at 46 has a huge opportunity tonight hosting UK at home. The only problem for the Bulldogs is that the team that has been ranked for most of this season is MIA. They've dropped their last three to the likes of Georgia, LSU and Auburn. They are reeling. Stansbury needs a win tonight to maybe save his job.

The State fans feel they were robbed of a win over UK at home two years ago by very poor officiating that blatantly favored UK. The Hump will be very hostile towards the Wildcats which should help the Dawgs. Miss St. could notch a huge win if the team that was playing 3 weeks ago shows up. Otherwise the Dawgs will be in for a long night and Stansbury will need to start searching Monster.com.

I guess the Bearcats should hope they lose...but even just playing the game against UK will boost Miss St's RPI.

I know I have been critical of UC's schedule and I think if we do not make the tournament it will be our own horrible scheduling that screws us, BUT if any Pac Ten at large team gets in before us I will be furious. Talk about a league that does not deserve more than one bid. None of those teams on their own of NCAA tournament resumes.

once again...it boils down to we need to win games. If we do, we deserve to be there and will. If we don't, we don't deserve to be there and won't.....

I'm not going to really look at "dance card", "rpi" "bpi", lunardi, palm etc until we finish our final regular season game...at that point we will pretty much know where we stand...if we need to win one or more BE tourney games, etc.

As of last Sunday, the Dance Card has UC ranked 59th...with the bubble bursting at 51.

NCAA Dance Card 2012

Seton Hall is ranked 44, Louisville is ranked 16 and Marquette is ranked 11.

A lot can change in 2 weeks

We are now ranked #39 with a 76% chance of getting into the tournament...they have Xavier as the last team in at #54.

Kind of nice that we beat all of those teams that we played that were ranked ahead of us in the Dance Card 2 weeks ago.

Marquette is now ranked 9, Louisville is ranked 23 and Seton Hall is ranked 59....South Florida has moved up now to #48.

Texas being ahead of Cincinnati is a joke, how the hell are they that high? They've beaten Temple, K-State and Iowa State. That is it.

You want the real dance card?

Has not been updated since 2/26 but according to the Committee Chair these are the sheets they have in their hands when it comes to selection.

The scary thing about it is that RPI is the primary factor for every measure on these things. I never understood what average RPI loss or average RPI win tells about a team. Conference standing should be on these as well.

I know. However, he stated in the radio interview this week its just a minor factor among many.

Texas sucks..we'd beat their a$$


ya'll.....relax, we are in
