I think Old Dominion gets in
a RPI of 39 is good enough I think . If it was up to ESPN and they were voting then I wouldn't like the chances.
I think C-usa will get 2 teams in and maybe 3. Only way I think they get 3 teams if UTep and La tech meet in the finals and Utep wins in a close game. The media likes LA tech and I could see them letting them in but they have to make championship game.

Earlier today, ODU's RPI was 47 after the loss. Ain't happening, unless they made up hella ground.

The Illinois blowout and TAMU/Auburn game helped, but at this point, Murray State is probably more likely

Iona is gaining ground too, both Murray State and Iona are deserving of an at-large

ODU may be hosting a few games in the NIT.

RE: I think Old Dominion gets in
There is no way ODU gets in to the NCAA after their loss today. USM didn't get in last year with a higher RPI and more wins. This is a one bid league now. The only way CUSA was going to get two teams in is for ODU to lose in the finals. Murry State isn't getting in either and they were ranked just last week. CUSA just has too many teams with 250+ RPIs. The conference cannot expect to get multiple teams in until our conference is rated no worse than 10.

The reason USM didn't get in was cause they didn't beat anyone last season they had a cupcake schedule.. Old Dominion has a bunch of good OCC wins.

Would UTEP get in if they lose in the final?

ODU is out IMO. Don't think the two losses to MT will look very good -- it'll help if we get into the tournament though.

Only way UTEP gets in is to win the CUSA tournament. The bad losses to Marshall and USM killed any chance at that.

Even then the chances were slim. I agree with you
You really should stop. I mean just stop already.

RE: I think Old Dominion gets in
As much as I would love us to get in, it ain't happening. If we had beaten MTSU and had a good showing vs UTEP, then we could say maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe. But at this point, I'm hoping for a high seed in the NIT. It's my senior year, and I'm pretty okay with getting to see more ODU basketball at home.

To get multiple teams, you must have a good OOC record. We didn't.
We will next season.

2? Not happening.
3? What are you smoking?

RE: I think Old Dominion gets in
ODU doesn't have a chance now. I think MT is a great team, but of all the bubble losses today, a loss to MT looks worse than a loss to Iowa State, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Michigan, Auburn, Duke or Oklahoma. I think we're underrated as a conference though and I'm sure one of the semi finalists will do a great job in the tournament.
