TexasTerror Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 LU couldnt get invited over Brown or Bradley, ummmm that kinda stings a little :'( Valpo 97 Bradley 105 Brown 107 Rider 110 Cincy 117 Richmond 120 Virginia 127 --------------- Lamar 159 They took teams mostly in the same range of RPI. Lamar was a good ways down from those teams, even the sub. 500 Cincy team. I'm pretty much under the impression SHSU did not want to make the financial obligation to the CBI. Makes plenty of sense to me...
Guest abovetherim Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Or they just didn't want SHSU either? Texas Terror with all that education I know you have heard the term of an unsound argument. You just used PRI as the reason Lamar didn't make it. Then you state SHSU did want to make the financial obligation. Come on, there are other teams with similar RPI's sitting at home. I'm trying to be nice here but man don't use the crap PRI, then "oh we just didn't want it".

ABR3 -- check the RPIs. Your education apparently is not helping either. All of the teams that turned down the CBI bids (and there's plenty of articles out there that did) or ended up in the CBI were around the same RPI, if not rated worse than Sam Houston. I did not say SHSU wanted to make the financial obligation, I said I do not believe they wanted to. On that note, Lamar had an RPI 50 spots worse than SHSU and a good 30 spots "worse" (I don't like that word) than the last CBI team in. CBI had a rough time finding teams interested in their tournament -- why else would they put a 13-17 Cincy team in? From the looks of it, they went right down the RPI...though I'm sure they started with whatever high majors were left before going into the mid-majors...unless there was a potential attractive match-up in the region... Of course, I am still not sure what the deal is with this CBI tournament is -- so you could probably throw out all my thinking! Some things out in the media were not the same things I heard in my circles as it relates to the CBI...
Guest abovetherim Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 The crappy tournament the ladies were to get a bid ended up canceling. Oh well, Coach Tidwell says we'll have a preseason WNIT bid next year. Sounds like the Lady Cardinals will have a awesome schedule next season. Now to the RPI, I really like it about as much as the BCS rankings. ;D

Guest abovetherim Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 Texas Terror, I have been for a 16 team playoff at the FBS level for a long time. 8)
TradinUp BH Posted March 18, 2008 Report Posted March 18, 2008 The majority of those teams in this tournament have been to the dance numerous times, so it appears they went with known teams even though they might not have that great of a record. LU better start scheduling about 5-6 tougher games a year.
