You're the one who is missing a Nutt.
I think it all has become fairly stable now. Most teams in the 25-40 range have stayed in the same relative place even after a loss. UT had a good win last night, and it looks like they will get around a 4 seed. KSU is a 5-6 seed right now (the loss to Mizzou is bad). They can help themselves with games @ ttek, @ BU and home against UT. atm & BU are 6-8 seeds, while uo looks like a 8-10 seed. ttek could feasably get in, but highly unlikely. A win last night would have gone a long way.

How come you stopped the RPI updates?
rpi doesn't mean much these days does it ags?
Hey, we're working for a Top seed in the NIT every game matters. Maybe we can win the post season one too!
Wow... I haven't paid much attention (with OSU in the 100s haven't needed to) but I didn't realize how bleak it looks for atm.
They currently sit at 52 and 6-6 in conf. They have lost 3 in a row and still have to play @ uo, @ BU and KU at home, plus ttek at home. They are a distant 6th in the B12 rpi (UT 3 KU 9 uo 26*ya I don't get that either* BU 35 KS 38 atm 52).
Unless atm goes 3-1 their last 4 games, they do not get into the NCAA at 8-8 and 6th place in the B12. No 8-8 teams from the B12 have ever made it, only 4 9-7 teams have made it and all but one was 5th place (UT 2 years after their Final Four), and there has even been a 10-6 team left out from the B12.
Unless they make a huge run to end the season and get really deep into the tourney, I don't see them making the tourney. The only real quality win is against Texas at home and we've had some really bad losses.
...todays win was so ing sweet, 'bout time we smashed tekk.
bout time aggy won......period.
Hopefully the energy carries over to the next 3 games. I think 2 wins on the road v. OU and Baylor, even if they lose at home to Kansas would be a decent enough resume at 9-7 to make the tourney.
If not, they just need to make a decent showing at the Big 12 tournament to make the final push. The Big 12 is 2nd in RPI according to ESPN and a 20-win season with a winning record in conference should be enough. If the Big East can get 8 teams each year, the 4th place team (hopefully) in the Big 12 should as well.
But the Big East has Jay Bilas' and ESPN's blessing, the Big 12 does not. We should just give the entire Big East, ACC, and Big 10 automatic bids.
And it shouldn't be the MOP of the Final Four anymore. It should just be the Joakim Noah.
I've never seen a kid with such heart and energy. Such a good kid, too. Did you know his dad was a tennis player? Here's another shot of him in the stands in case you forgot.
"Did you know his mom was a model?"
That one was my favorite. Seriously, your mom is a model. Miss Sweden. What the happened to you?
...currently 42, they'll make it if they stay in the top 5 of conference....for sure. A&M will make the tourney, EASILY, at 9-7...8-8 i am not so sure, but inclined to say yes. there are a couple 'experts' that say A&M could get in at 7-9, but thats wildly speculative, imo. A&M should finish no worse than 8-8 and that should get them in, we'll see.
The problem is not their record, per se, it is that at 8-8, they will be at best 6th in the B12 behind KSU, BU and uo. BU will be 9-7 and uo will either be 9-7 or 8-8. uo's rpi is MUCH higher than atm's (high 20s/low 30s vs 40-50). There is absolutely no way the NCAA takes 3 teams from the B12 with 9-7/8-8 records. With atm finishing not only behind them in the standings but behind them in rpi, they won't all make it.
To get in they have to have an upset @ uo or BU and then have whomever they upset lose again. If they can do it at uo and OSU can beat uo in Stillwater they have a shot at a higher finish.
The flipside to this is that they will be in a 3-4 way tie because OSU would also finish 8-8. Additionally, if Neb were to beat uo and not OSU, Neb would finish 8-8 and in that quagmire. The last thing atm wants is no lose a tiebreaker and finish behind in the standings to OSU (who will be around 80 RPI) or Neb (who will be around 90).
I don't see a real logical way that atm gets in unless they go 9-7, which means they most likely win @ uo and @ BU and thus finish ahead of both them and OSU and Neb in 4th. Its the only real way.
the most disgusting thing i have seen in a long...long...long time. we shouldn't make the tournament based on this game (ou) alone.
Whew
Of course CaptMike comes on.
Well ttek's win over UT made it a 4-way tie for 5th. Additionally, atm has a good tiebreaker if UT finishes #1 but loses that tiebreaker if KU finishes #1.
Let's see... in A&M's last two road games, they've scored a combined 28 points in the first half. They're setting all-time NCAA records for offensive futility. Yeah, that looks like a tourney team to me. Hey, maybe if they made it, they could go scoreless for an entire half in the opening-round game!
Big 12 Tourney it is.
- 10 total points in the first half??
- over 16 minutes without scoring a single point???
that's CYOish...
Aggies completely blow. We're not even NIT worthy. I mean Marist would probably beat us.
I especially loved Turdgeon throwing the team under the bus after the game. "I don't understand this team" and "they had that deer in the headlights look." If only there were a means of getting an adult in there to give direction to that assemblage of young men... to "coach" them if you will...
Turdgeon needs to be one and done. He is a failure as a coach.
