    Video

    Was nice to see the videos. The crowd looked sparse. How can a tournament make money with poor attendance? TV? Fees to watch the stream?

      It's too early to be looking at rpi.

      But rpiforecast.com not only shows "now" rpi but also projects "future" rpi. And the MVC at this site suggests the MVC can be 9th.

      So I wouldn't sweat it.

      But... I think the rpi is gonna become an obsolete "measuring tool" very soon.

        I was wondering how long it would be before someone would tell me it is too early to look at RPI

        And it seems it already is obsolete to the NCAA Tournament selection people.

          It seems comical to me that the NCAA created this formula and originally it was like a mythical moving form of smoke of whether it was real.... then it became public... then internet and social media exploded... and then crackpipes on tv say the only thing that matters is the "eye test".... and now we are moving away from the rpi and going to things like the bpi.

          I would just rather hear the NCAA come out and say - hey, we take some things into account, but when it boils down to it... we are biased and we take bcs schools and those from the Power 5 and we also seed them better and also try to screw the little guys.

          Just be honest about it. And then it's ok. So we all KNOW.

            The NCAA has rarely ever been honest about anything.

                btw- some video from Friday's game
                UVM senior Trae Bell-Haynes made the game-winning free throw with 2.6 seconds left on the clock and gave Vermont a 65-64 victory over Bradley on Friday after...
