RPI is garbage, almost as bad as using win pct.

Pomeroy is closer to Vegas, which is closest to the truth . . .

Doesn't the NCAA use RPI though for tourney selections?

It is one of the tools used.

Meet and greet with our new football coach tonite between women and men s game vs Cajuns. Hopefully this gets more people to the games

I wish all our home bball games were on ESPN3 like football

You were given the opportunity too, but didn't take it.

Yes, same for Georgia State and App State.

All Sun Belt teams were presented the opportunity to broadcast their own games and provide the feed to ESPN3 this season. Georgia Southern elected not to do that. Georgia State, App State, Arkansas State, and Texas State agreed to it.

I guess when you're as bad as they are you try and hide it.

Yes, RPI is probably the most important "ranking" to track, even if it is very flawed. I don't have numbers in front of me, but I'm going to guess that an RPI of around 50 or better has been important for at-large bids over the last several years.

It's more about production. Schools have to pay to produce their own broadcasts. We had to go out for instance and hire a PBP and Color guy to call our ESPN3 games, and work things out with our student run TV station to produce the broadcasts.

I'm not sure Georgia Southern is where they need to be in that area yet.

RPI becomes increasingly important as more games are played.

Which do you think is more "predictive" of final RPI? Current RPI or current Pomeroy? At this point, I'd say pomeroy is a better indicator of final rpi than the rpi itself is. Not sure, just a hunch.

Some scores today:

Women Winners:
Texas State
Troy
Georgia State
Little Rock
ULL

Men's wise:

Georgia State is up 20 on ULM late
ULL up 8 on Georgia Southern with 44 seconds left.

UTA up 40-33 on Troy at half
Texas State up double digits on USA 2nd half
Little Rock up 13 on App State at half

It's blowout city tonight

ULL beats Georgia Southern 74-65
Georgia State beats ULM 65-51
Texas State beats USA 78-67

UTA leads Troy 60-41 midway through the 2nd half
Little Rock leads App State 52-39 early in the 2nd half

Long killed us tonight. Well that and us shooting 25% for the game and 1 of 14 from 3.

The biggest cheer tonight was when FB coach Summers addressed the crowd at half and said recruiting was going very well.

Glad we got our SG Montalvo back. We looked awful the past two games without him.

UTA beat Troy 90-63. Trojans now 0-5 in league...ouch
