Better for VCU to lose?

So, is it maybe better for VCU to lose? Is it possible that a win by VCU would push their RPI above ours? And push us off the bubble a bit? If VCU isn't a good bubble case and will only go if they win the tournament it seems it's better for us for GM to win since they are no threat to our RPI...
 
Two CAA teams will definitely get in, and maybe three if George Mason wins. VCU needs to win for BU to have any hope.
 
the way i see it is if VCU looses, then its another at large bid that could be given to Bradley. If VCU wins I dont think GM will get an at large bid. So just one more bid that could go to Bradley. Whatever............ we'll see what happens!

Now, we need more conference champions to take care of business in their tournaments to keep these bubble teams from auto berths.

I still think we dance 8)
 
Thank you Rams!! At least that's another NCAA team Bradley can say they beat this year, and it could help the Braves--but, who knows for sure. Now on Tuesday, I think we have to pull for Butler. A Wright State win helps our RPI, but the dilemma of a Raider win over the Bulldogs cancels out an at-large bid for somebody, and while the odds are still slim, it could be us!
 
HAHA, I love it B4L!! KEEP FAITH!! Love the emoticon or whatever you call it...nothing wrong with getting a little help from above. I prayed for BU at mass yesterday.

All right! The Braves are now 2-8 against the RPI Top 50! :D

I'm definately now rooting for Gonzaga to take care of business tonight. They are up 44-37 at the under 16 minute timeout. Looking good so far.

Butler has to take care of business tomorrow night since there is no chance Wright St will receive an at-large bid. Butler is already a lock.

I'm with you B4L. The Braves aren't out of the running until that 65th team is revealed Sunday afternoon! :D

It's a double-edge sword....

Butler winning pus Wright St likely OUT.

Wright St winning puts Butler in with an At-Large that squeezes all the Bubble teams....

BUT...

When it comes down to it, the Committee will look at teams left on the Bubble and their record against teams already in the Tourney.


eeesshhhh!!!

I say - GO BULLDOGS!

George Mason is just hoping they make the NIT with a record of 18-15...
 
Also, I am hoping DePaul picks up at least one or two more wins in the Big East tourney. How will that help us out?

Depaul is in a VERY good position to put themselves in. They are the 8 seed in the BigEast Trny with an RPI of 62 but they play 9 seed Villanova with an RPI of 19! A win would be a big boost for them. Then, if they win that game, they get 1 seed Georgetown with an RPI of 17....

2 wins for them certainly puts them on the good side of the Bubble and it helps us as well.

GO BLUE DEMONS!!!
 
I'd imagine if western kentucky can pull their game out, this would help the brave's chances... our sos schedule is very strong at 19 i believe i just saw it on realtimerpi.com

Why does that matter? We didn't play Western Kentucky this season...

Maybe he's thinking ahead someday, when we get WKU (who is already in the Valley for soccer) to join the conference ... :lol: :lol:
