regardless of how you define it - a clear foul (easily visible on replay) when a UNI kid was shooting and got hacked hard on the arm was totally missed, then immediately the refs award a VCU kid with a 3 pt play when there was no foul at all.
Speaking of who to blame..
we have also been told we can't blame injuries...
and yet I read a BracketBusters article this morning that blames an entire CONFERENCE's RPI on injuries...
the Colonial Athletic Assoc.....
"....few mid-major leagues need an image boost this season more than the CAA.
After sending three of its teams to the NCAA tournament last season, the top-heavy
league is poised to send only its tournament champion this season because of RPI issues.
"I don't know why everyone worships the RPI so much," said Old Dominion Coach Blaine Taylor.....
"The thing that's misleading about our league, the old look test used to be pretty important,
and how you were playing in January, February and March used to be pretty important.
This RPI thing, it's like we've got a new Bible people are printing. I always thought that's a little bit warped."
The biggest reason: Several CAA teams were not at full strength in nonconference play,
which crippled their chances of securing quality nonleague victories."
another thing that they point out is how the gurus all of a sudden ARE using the RPI again after
years of trashing the idea that RPI should be used...
clearly they do use whatever they choose to make mid-majors look worse...
