Loyola would have to completely fall apart at this point I think to play in one of the C tournaments. A top 50 RPI would put you in bubble talk for the NCAA. Just keep winning games and don't think like a mid-major. That word disgusts me.

While I wish that were true, even with a win over WSU in Wichita I don't see us getting an at large bid or being in the conversation this year. For an MVC school to get that, they need an eye-popping out of conference schedule or recent reputation of big years...that we just don't have yet. The committee has found such ways to overlook high RPI's to keep non-BCS conference schools out, such as Missouri State a few years ago who if I remember correctly had a top 30 RPI and didn't get an at large.

True barring a spectacular streak in the next 13 games. For now, just keep winning. We'll have all summer to discuss how unfair things are.

Scream is truly correct !! Once again I will NEVER forget in 1985 when we beat Oral Roberts on their floor to win our League tourney--I was close to the pile up of Rambler players when I heard Big Al screaming something like--" No committee will shut us out THIS TIME !!" We had been passed over in years previous to 1985

Its kind of like what the Trib and that other organ is doing to us now--- OK, I am whining but it IS a true story !

GO RAMBLERS KEEP RAMBLIN !!!! and make 'em like it !!!
