    Not surprising. No one in this league on the men's side won a non-conference game of any stature, that I can recall.

    Our wins at La Tech and against Houston are impressive. Both teams have double digit wins and wins over ranked teams. Although OU was ranked after the lolly pollys beat them.

    The Jackson State and Monroe losses hurt.

    A team with a 14-3 record that has a worse ranking than us (98) because their schedule is weaker than ours, and a 10-6 team with a 187 ranking. Not really impressive.

    Not as badly as you might think, being road losses, but they did hurt.

    Way to rain on my parade. I finally think I've contributed, then WAM. Shut down. Houston's RPI should come down as they go through their conference schedule. They've got games against 5 (currently) ranked ahead of them.

    This League is a terrible basketball conference.

    It's actually not as bad as it was the best couple of years, IMO. We are better from top to bottom than last year for sure.

    The sky is falling on every thread I've looked at today.

    Jeez

    Western Kentucky beat 2013 NIT team Southern Miss (RPI of 41, 14-3 overall and 1-1 in C-USA after losing to Tulsa). The Cajuns also beat 2013 NIT team/C-USA frontrunner Louisiana Tech (RPI of 98, 14-3 overall, 2-0 in C-USA) and AAC member Houston (RPI of 187, 10-6 overall, 2-1 in AAC).

    Elsewhere in the Sun Belt: the Cajuns and ULM beat 2013 NCAA tournament team/Southland favorite Northwestern State, Georgia State beat 2013 CIT winner East Carolina, Arkansas State beat Jackson State, WKU beat Murray State, Texas State beat Tulane and UALR beat 2013 NCAA tournament team/SWAC frontrunner Southern. But none of those teams had an RPI under 175. In fact, the Cajuns beat an Oakland squad (RPI of 154) with a better RPI than all of those teams.

    There aren't any changes to the women's rankings, I suspect they will adjust them later and, if so, I'll post them.

    Top two RPI teams in the league go at each other Thursday night at the Dome.

    The great majority of mid level conferences will have an RPI profile similar to ours. Major six conferences get a huge RPI advantage as they play very few non conference road games. There is a home-road component to the RPI now but it does not make up for the issue totally.
