You actually have a pretty decent RPI. I am surprised being in such a small conference. Good luck in the Big South Tournament!

You actually have a pretty decent RPI. I am surprised being in such a small conference. Good luck in the Big South Tournament!

It must have been a result from my non-conference schedule (defeating Vanderbilt on the road was a plus) plus beating Liberty (91 rpi) on the road.

Re: Coaching Career of Bob Knight (No, not THAT Bob Knight) - take #2 - ps2

That's a shame to go out in the 1st round. Oh well, it was still a pretty good season. I hope I don't get bounced out in the first round, which is my next game in my coaching legacy.

Re: 2008-09 NCAA Tournament -- The Road To The Motor City

lol, I knew that would happen (OSU upsets #6 and #3 to advance). One of the few problems I have with 2k hoops is that the randomness of the season deflates some very good teams into low seeds. The "upsets" I see in my legacy are usually pretty predictable. I rarely have a mediocre team in my Final Four, but I will often have a very good team with a 9-11 seed make it. The problem is more about seeding, which I think is a result of questionable RPI calculations and/or the sim engine being a little too wacky. (If the sim engine was tighter, we would know if the RPI was off or not, correct?)

You are probably right but right now in my current sweet sixteen there are two 11th seeds (Oklahoma State & Texas A&M) plus one 10th seed (Indiana).
