Sounds like a terrible bowl game.

oklahomamick

With northeastern beating Michigan state, northeastern saw their rpi jump from 197 to 150. 

Oakland might get their first win against a top 150.
CRUSADERS!!!

thought it might be fun to periodically track the RPI for us and for the teams around us...

After Coppin State took their 13th loss of the season, but before the night games begin...

Watched Oakland lose at the buzzer at home to Northeastern. They managed to score only 59 points. Lots of fairly open shots wouldn't fall, lots of forced shots as well.

a3uge

The ending was pretty wild - replay is on WatchESPN app.

oklahomamick

Lots of wins but They just can't get that top 150 w
CRUSADERS!!!

As we all know, prior to this year Oakland's OOC schedules were selfishly stacked with unwinnable payday games against high majors, a tactic that clearly hurt conference RPI. To their credit, this year's schedule is much better balanced with winnable games against other mid's.  Suddenly, I'm feeling a whole lot more positive about the Oakland Golden Grizzlies. It's too bad they lost tonight, but overall they're off to a strong start and I'm happy for them.

Oakland is good but once again not as good as projected.  I'm of a fan kampe and had the pleasure of meeting him in Detroit for that $*%^ show of a conference tournament.  But that sweater was ridiculous last night.  Gave me the impression, "are they serious about the program or is this a stunt from the Will Ferrell's movie super-pro?"  What's next, kampe going to wrestle a grizzle at halftime? 

The Palombizio kid from Chesterton is a good player.  We missed that one....
CRUSADERS!!!

M

Semi-Pro  :lol: , but yeah that was a pretty ridiculous stunt. 


We should've promised the chance to shot 10 threes a game like Kampe did...I've heard he isn't real happy with his playing time and role.  It maybe changing soon though if he keeps playing well and the rest of the team doesn't.

talksalot

12/20/16:  Louisiana-Monroe 65 Coppin State 53  (Coppin State RPI:  #304)
12/20/16:  BYU 84 Idaho State 58  (BYU RPI:  #132; Idaho State RPI:  #317)
12/20/16:  Oregon 75 Fresno State 63 (Oregon RPI #33, Fresno State RPI:  #240)

and coming up tonight:

12/21/16:  Eastern Illinois @ Indiana State (EIU warmed up on Monday with Fontbonne 101-49)
12/21/16:  Arkansas State vs Alabama in Hunstville as the Tide continues it's trip around the state
12/21/16:  Southern Utah @ San Jose State

and Kampe tries to get his guys to focus... on Sparty at the Breslin Center... maybe they did last night, instead of Northeastern.   OU's best RPI win of the season is #194; 1-10 Oral Roberts.... oh; and the Grizz have Georgia at home on Friday night.  Georgia has two Detroit-area kids on their roster.

I guess it was a promotion or something for bad Christmas sweaters... only I didn't see a whole lot of people wearing hideous sweaters, only Kampe.  I could hardly stop laughing, I found myself imagining what the timeouts were like :rotfl: in the huddle.

I watched the replay of the last 1:17 of the game ... and he wasn't wearing that sweater... I'm guessing it had something to do with "let's take the game seriously".  Be fun to have the Grizz take down Sparty... if ever there was going to be a year for that to happen, its now.  BUT, the game is at the Breslin.

I'm guessing Mr. Nolan had some technical difficulties last night.... no updates for about 12 hours on his site...

He lost the sweater in the first half when Northeastern was in the middle of a 16-0 run I want to say.

How does IUPUI get a game with Northwestern and we can't?

Very simple. Their RPI is 195 vs our 35 so the risk-reward pushes the decision toward IUPUI.

King Kampe remains winless vs. Michigan State tonite.  From what I saw, both teams are not very strong this year.

I'd rather not play that inferior RPI drag on the road.We should be asking them for a 2 for 1.
