As of 1:00 Wednesday Bradley is 38th. This seems good to me, my limited knowledge of RPI leads me to believe that as other teams lose(everyone except 1 team from each conference has to), Bradley should remain the same/move up as the week progresses, which can only help... right?

If our RPI stays in the top 40... it will feel like a travesty if we don't get in. -
I definitely agree, but I afraid were going to witness a travesty. Most people aren't even talking about us...Comment

We are creeping back into people's memories. Doug Gottlieb mentioned our whooping of Wright St last night on GameNight, and Bilas mentioned our thrashing of DePaul today during the game.Originally posted by amckillipOnward and Upward!

I seem to remember this kind of feeling from last year too... A feeling of gloom followed by increasing confidence and eventual selection. I will be glued to selection sunday, but who knows if we'll make it I guess.Comment

at least the Braves are mentioned as an "out bubble team" on the s.i.'s bracket watch list...Originally posted by BradleyBrave

Anyone get the feeling that the cream is kind of rising to the top. VCU, Wright St, Depaul starting to get noticed. All of these teams we beat, maybe we are ready to climb a little higher in the RPI as other teams lose. I don't know, at least I feel our chances are getting better than worse as the week goes on.............so far.

I'm getting slightly more optimistic as the week goes on, but I still think we get left out.

Unfortunately, the difference between last year and this year is that we were always on the bubble watch. If you remember, once we took down UNI, who was ranked at the time, we were penciled as IN. Our loss to SIU in the championship moved us down to the bubble (as did other conference tournies) ...
This year, we've never been IN and we've barely been on the last teams OUT list. Now, if you look at many different writers out there (Lunardi being one of the most consistent in getting the right teams in), we're not even in the last group of teams that might get in. And, because our tournament ends so early, we have no chance to really improve much.
Sure, these are just opinions but they are respected, good opinions from writers who have been doing this stuff for awhile.
If by some miracle we can get in, that'd be GREAT! But if not ...
I just hope we get a good draw and don't have to play on the road in the second game of the NIT against some powerhouse who just missed the tourney. Considering the availabilty of Carver Arena during the weekend (or lack thereof), there's certainly a possibility that we'd be away from home. If we're in the NIT, I want to WIN IT!Go Braves!Comment

DePaul blew their shot at getting noticed. They lost to Villanova in the 1st round of the Big East Tournament. They were our last chance at a big RPI-booster. Our last hopes are FAMU winning their conference tournament (they play Hampton tonight), Southern Miss making it to the final of C-USA (and losing to Memphis), and Iowa St stealing a win or 2 in the Big 12 Tournament (highly unlikely).Originally posted by Dubl R 1Anyone get the feeling that the cream is kind of rising to the top.

My hopes is that we can remain at 45 or higher by it's time to pick the teams on Sunday.
By virtue of DePaul's loss, the MVC has moved back into 5th according to RealTime RPI, by .0001 over the Big East. I'm not sure how a UConn win over Syracuse (which we need badly) would affect that.Onward and Upward!

Nobody beats us in both categories. Only three teams (Clemson, Illinois, Ole Miss) beat us in RPI and two teams (Arkansas, Georgia) beat us in SOS.
Our RPI+SOS+Record+Crouch out for a month+VCU+DePaul+SIU+Wright State+Lots of thing makes us hard to ignore even with Mich St. and Tenn. Tech.Comment
