RPI improved some, but it was pretty low to begin with (117)... our RPI is now UP 20 to 97 
In Pomeroy's rating system, UAB is up to 59
Pomeroy is back now to predicting us to lose just to Memphis (twice) and no other time. If we beat Oklahoma State and dont have any terrible losses in CUSA play, I think we'll be in pretty good standing come NCAA time. We have pretty decent wins already in UMass, Nebraska, and Old Dominion. If we can beat Houston and/or Memphis once or twice, that'll also help us a great deal. RPI stuff is still pretty whacked out, but we've got some good wins... and more importantly, no really bad losses just yet.
* Just FYI... our next opponent, Oklahoma State, is 91 in the RPI and 34 in Pomeroy's rating. Pretty big difference there.
Rob, when do those Dance Card updates start coming in?
