I think we legitimately one of the best 100 teams in the country, but there are enough automatic conference tie-ins at both tournaments that it might be difficult to get into the tournament is my worry. Two more wins and I'd consider us a lock, now I'd say very outside chance, but you never know.

Only in the most technical sense. Oregon State's RPI's 135. That should come up a spot or two on its own. The following teams winning would help: Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Buffalo, Cal State Fullerton, Cincinnati, Eastern Washington, Kansas, New Mexico State, North Carolina, Providence, San Diego State, Southeastern Louisiana, Texas-Arlington, UMBC, and USC. It would help if the Alabama-Kentucky winner won the SEC. St. Joseph's winning the Atlantic 10 would help. St. Bonaventure meeting and losing to St. Joseph's in the Championship would also help. Georgia Tech was the last team in the NIT last year with an RPI of 106. But last year, there were 10 auto-bids in. So far, only five auto-bids have been taken by regular season conference champions. If Middle Tennessee State does not make the NCAA Tournament, that would make six. To have an outside chance, Oregon State really needs a sub-120 RPI, preferably sub-115. Short of that, it is very difficult to see the Beavers in the NIT. (The galling part is that, if you flip one of Arizona State, Kent State, Utah, or Washington, Oregon State has a winning record and that sub-115 RPI.) |

Yes. Next year if Tres stays healthy and we recruit a decent a point guard. BTW: It was painful watching Tres fall to the ground repeatedly against USC. His dad really wanted him to keep his 10 points per game streak alive. Tres should have been on the bench. I would have liked to see if we could have gathered some momentum with five healthy players on the court. |

Buffalo, Cincinnati, Kansas, San Diego State, Texas-Arlington, and UMBC all won. Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Eastern Washington, North Carolina, Providence, Southeastern Louisiana, St. Joseph's, and St. Bonaventure all lost. The Big West Tournament Final has not tipped off yet. New Mexico State is up 13 in the 2nd half. USC is down 10 in the 2nd half. Games for tomorrow: A Cincinnati win helps. A Davidson win is not ideal but helps. A Kentucky win helps. A Texas-Arlington win helps. |
