3) Jackson St vs. 6) Alabama St
2) Texas Southern vs. 7) Southern
The stakes:
The winner is going to Dayton.
Actually, PVAM's RPI is around 150 - they could have had a nonzero shot at avoiding Dayton, just based on that number combined with some butt-ugly play in other conferences. As is, they're sunk in NET, just like everyone else here.
I just wasted 5 minutes typing this up.
2 comments:
Is there any chance Texas Southern avoids PIG with the three decent non-con wins? Or are these completely irrelevant for sorting out 15 and 16 seeds
Certainly possible but their computer numbers are so far south I don't really trust the committee to look at it closely enough. I could easily be proven wrong though on this one.
