Sucks that UCONN and PITT are not what they usually are. Makes our NC SOS (Non-Conference Strenght of Schedule) much worse. Outside of Memphis (twice), Duke, UCONN, Pitt we didn't really play anyone. Most years, that's pretty tough out of conference schedule.

Just win baby and our prayers shall be answered. if not....maybe one more home game or two in the NIT........

I would love to see Uconn go and win the Big East. That would help our RPI quite a bit.

[bigsteve13]

he's right, we have to beat Vandy again

Admittedly, I'm biased...having said that, how can this team not be in the tourney!!

Iona - 25-7
RPI = 43
SOS = 145
vs OOC = 9-3
OOC RPI = 19
OOC SOS = 44
15 Road/Neutral Wins
1-1 vs RPI 50
5-3 vs RPI 100
Nations leading team in scoring and assists!

Easy answer, don't lose to Hofstra in Dec and/or in the semi's of the conf tourney, dammit, when is opening day

I do hope Iona gets in. I think they have a better resume (by FAR) than Drexel, and ESPN is riding on Drexel's d*** right now.

Why is Drexel in over them?

Actually, I have no idea. Iona has a better RPI (42 to 66), a better SOS (145 to 210), as many Top 50 wins (1), more Top 100 wins (5 to 4), and both have great road/neutral records (15-7 for Iona compared to 14-6 for Drexel). The only think I can really think of is that Iona has a few bad losses (although so does Drexel).

My only thought was conference they play in???

I don't see it though, to me if it's eithe it shoul be Iona.

I expect in the coming does go Drexel to fall out.

In the RPI, the CAA (Drexel's conference) is 15, and the MAAC (Iona's conference) is 17. Not that much of a difference. Imo, Drexel is feeding off of the past success of the CAA in the tournament. That's not a good reason to get into the tournament.

[bleedingTNorange]

As I said I expect them to fall of in the coming days, unless other bubble teams lose.

For example, 2 wins and I think we'd hurdle Drexel.

Gottlieb says gotta beat Vandy. For name and rpi sure but what about beating Mississippi St? If we beat them head to head and they are considered to be one of last teams in and we are first out. Couldnt that help our cause knocking them out on a neutral court.
