    I think he’s playing with a minor injury, isn’t he?

    If we win today, we will be favored against UT.

    Could be. I did not say tenn would beat us. We will have an advange with our guards penetration. They will have advantages too though... Williams and their shooting. Should be a good game

    Glad to see LSU down by double digits to Georgia. Hopefully this will end the recent fad of bracketologists putting LSU in.

    Haven't watch Williams much, didn't watch first USCe game. But I think you may be underselling Holman some.

    Bubble team Marquette losing to an awful DePaul team is great news for us.

    Lol ... I'll work on waking up then. Not too familiar with anyone's personnel other than ours. Have been watching some but not paying attention to names.

    Question for the RPI gurus:

    I've been checking Warren Nolan RPI after every game for the past 12 games or so, and I've been waiting for Vermont to slide under us pretty much since the first time I've looked, yet they're always 5-8 spots ahead of us. How do they manage to stay ahead of us despite having no Q1 wins and playing more Q4 games than we have?

    Before today,
    They're 22-6, we're 20-8.
    Their SOS 159; Ours is 101.
    They're 0-4 in Q1 games, we're 2-6
    Q2: 2-1 vs 5-2
    Q4: 12-1 vs 9-0


    I assume they're 1st in their conference so they aren't bubble competition, but its perplexed me all season.

    It'll work itself out. I feel that if we keep winning, "bracketologist" will pull up standings, etc and see our record and start figuring it out. We have just been flying under the radar.

    The crap about the poor non-conference schedule is crap because it already is factored in with RPI/SOS.

    The notion that scheduling and beating mediocre teams early is more of a negative than finishing in the top quadrant of this year's SEC is a positive is frankly absurd.

    Exactly. Not to mention the fact that you played Wichita State in The Bahamas in December carries more weight than finishing the year above .800 in the deepest conference is absurd.
