Valpo Opponents' Schedule & Results 2016-17

[valpo84]

Valpo started the day with an rpi of 58... 12/7/2016   Akron 87 Coppin State 63  @Akron  (CSU still winless) 12/7/2016   Missouri State  79  Southeast Missouri State 71 First road win for the Bears 12/7/2016   Indiana State 72  Butler 71  my two favorite teams are Valpo and whomever beats Butler. 12/7/2016   BYU 77 Weber State 66 so the combination of the BYU win and us  playing Kentucky, boosted the Rpi to 50

Disappointed that Indiana St. can get Butler at home and we can't.

Guessing that will be the last time Butler will go to ISU.

I'm not sure that they won't come but rather they won't come unless we give them a two for one.  That just rubs us the wrong way.  I suspect Indiana State may have gone for the two for one thing.

Only one OOC playing today... TBirds of SUUUUU at Loyola Marymount, ESPN shows the Lions favored by 11 over the D1-Winless SUUUU.

Fun game on CBSSportsNet would be Vandy AT Middle Tennessee State... MTSU is FAVORED by 2.  (MidTenn's RPI is 5, coming off a 15-point road win at Ole Miss last week)

MTSU 71-48... Final....        as with Butler @ Indiana State... this will be the last Vandy trip to Murfreesboro for a long time.  Commodores fall to 5-5; MTSU goes to 9-1.

[talksalot]

Loyola Marymount 75 Southern Utah 68... at least the TBirds covered the 11-point spread.   

Tweet from TBird Nation:

LMU leads 40-28 at halftime. Onwuasor and McGee lead SUU with 13 points each, combining for 26 of SUU's 28 points.

Maybe they'll have better luck on Saturday as they stay on the coast to play Cal State-Fullerton.

and Valpo's RPI falls from #50 to #51.   
and Valpo's Sagarin falls to #80.

That is really going to hurt our rpi.  Martin was going to be a pro.  Hopefully he will make a full recovery.

Today's OOC games

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/boxscore?gameId=400918212

Valpo's RPI is up to 36 !!!!!   Thank you KY

12/11/2016   Oregon    Alabama    Eugene - push  5PM CT - Ducks up 23-12  at the under-8 media time-out.
the DuckTide game doesn't matter to our RPI...

Indiana State was 115 RPI... falls to 165 with that loss.. they fall to 4-5 on the year... the Hilltoppers RPI climbs up to 260.
Based on RPI, we are the best team ISU will face the rest of the year... we have a better RPI than every Valley team.

That was last year. He's out with a quad injury but hasn't been ruled out the rest of the season.

12/11/2016   Oregon    Alabama    Eugene - push  5PM CT - Ducks up 23-12  at the under-8 media time-out.
the DuckTide game doesn't matter to our RPI...

The Tide came from 12 down to tie it at 56... and the ducks go on a 9-0 run over the last 1:45 to win it 65-56

Before that game went final... Valpo's WarrenNolan RPI figures:

#37  0.6138   SOS #99   0.5422

Immediately after that final was posted:
#38  0.6111   SOS #102  0.5387

so... perhaps not a "push" afterall... Could not find any other games that finished during this 5 minute stretch.

(Savannah State is in OT at Oregon State... they lost by 70 to Oregon last Thursday)

Indiana State was 115 RPI... falls to 165 with that loss.. they fall to 4-5 on the year... the Hilltoppers RPI climbs up to 260.

Alabama now looks to be a much better team than when we faced them. They had the lead with only a few minutes left and their athleticism coupled with more experience could magnify the importance of our victory over them. As for the Hilltoppers they just looked like a good team and the better team for almost all of the game. I now do not know what to expect from Indiana St.

Everybody, everywhere is playing and improving (well maybe not Detroit) so I still am not comfortable on our standing in this larger mix.

DuckTide, sounds like something that happens when you have too many ducks on your pond.

Well, finally got the answer to the Jabril/Max issue!!   

[VULB#62]

What issue?  There is no issue.    Otherwise, I'm sure it would have been the subject of some conversation in the preview
