I've never seen that site. Pretty cool.
A win tonight would give the Cats a nice bump up.
Cincinnati was dominant in sports over Pittsburgh in 2012. Hopefully the team tonight can carry it into 2013.
No mention of Xavier. Love it.

Average seed is now a 5.
Bounce: you are now off ignore
Thank you for posting current stats...
5seed: suck. I hope not. This year's team could totatlly get knocked off by the 12 and as we all know, at least one or two 5's lose EVERY year to a 12. Pass.
Through the 1st 25 games this season....
19-6 (7-5)
No losses to sub 100 RPI teams
1 loss to 51-100 RPI team (providence #96)
Through the 1st 25 games last season...
17-8 (7-5)
2 losses to sub 100 RP teams
2 losses to 51-100 RPI teams
Presbyterian, Marshall, SJU, RU, etc.
Last season we got hot down the stretch run and went 5-1 in BE play (only loss being the 46-45 loss at USF).
6 games left in the regular season!
With the win last night-
RPI: 31

Also finished 5-1 in 2010-11 with a very tough schedule. Beat UL and Georgetown twice. Only loss was to the eventual national champions.
Still 5 chances left to add to the RPI top 50 win total, not including the BET.
Yep. (RPI Ratings):
2-15 H vs. #23 Georgetown ESPN
2-21 A vs. #27 UConn ESPN

I'd take that in a heartbeat...UK SUCKS. We, even we would beat them, and badly.

I'd say we are in the #25-28 range on the S-curve right now, nowhere near the bubble. If I had to guess I think we'll end up in our familiar spot as a #6 seed.

The only people who have us on the bubble are the classic debby downers. If UC wins 10 games in the BE and avoids a bad loss at MSG they will probably be a 6 or a 7.

Agreed. The bubble talk right now is ridiculous. RPI Forecast has 2 more wins at a 90.87% probability, with 3-2 the most likely finish.
(Final Record) (Expected RPI) (Probability)
24-7----------24.1-----------2.58%
23-8----------29.6-----------19.03%
22-9----------36.9-----------39.26%
21-10---------44.4-----------29.99%
20-11---------51.7-----------8.53%
19-12 --------60.7-----------0.60%
Team needs two wins to take the tournament without any doubt. Everyone is a bubble team until they can lose out and still make the tournament. I think they get there.
Cincinnati's tournament resume
Record: 19-7 (7-6 in the BE)
RPI: 39
SOS: 30
Best Wins: vs. Marquette (#14), at Pittsburgh(#38), n. Iowa State (#46), n. Oregon (#37)
Worst Loss: at Providence (#80)
Road/Neutral record: 8-2
Remaining games;
at Connecticut (#32)
at Notre Dame (#43)
Connecticut (#32)
at Louisville (#5)
South Florida (#125)
Getting to 10 BE wins would mean at least one more top 50 RPI win, that coupled with a 1-1 BE tournament would likely assure Cincinnati of a seed better than 8 (which is what I'd really like them to avoid).
