RPI WATCH: 2/4/12
OK, it's time for Kansas State to take matters into its own hands. The Cats need to collect some conference scalps in February, because their non-conference schedule is losing all steam. Every single non-con opponent that played this week (except Alabama and Long Beach State, who had byes) lost its...

A home loss to freakin' BYU? Virginia Tech, you are dead to me. You're the Texas A&M of the ACC. A road loss to freakin' St. John's? WTF, Huggs? Did your team suddenly decide it didn't want to finish in the Big East's top four? A road loss to freakin' SOUTH CAROLINA? OMG, Alabama. OMG....
RPI WATCH: 1/23/12
Virginia Tech finally did something constructive, if totally unexpected, to help our resume cause by logging its first ACC win in five attempts at ranked Virginia, of all places. The Cavaliers swept the Hokies last season. Meanwhile, Charleston Southern and Long Beach State continue to beat up on...
RPI WATCH: 1/21/12
Wins by Charleston Southern, George Washington (which is a surprising .500 in league play after an abysmal non-con), Long Beach State, UTEP and West Virginia made for a slightly cheerier update than normal. As for the losses, Howard, Loyola and Southern Illinois are lost causes, while North Florida...
RPI WATCH: 1/14/12
There's a whole lot of red after the jump. Not only is K-State's RPI suffering after two losses in three games, but the vast majority of our non-con opponents are experiencing the same phenomenon. The worst developments were Virginia Tech's ugly home loss to a mediocre Florida State team, which...
Not a Stat Geek - The Curious Case of the SOS
Let me be clear. I am not a stat geek. I don't know how to calculate PER or true shooting percentage, nor do I care to find out. I think p/40min stats are superfluous. Per game numbers suit me just fine. They say that the numbers never lie, but the people who use them do. They bend and twist the...
RPI WATCH: 1/9/12
As always, Big 12 Conference games will be discussed later today in BIG 12 OUTLOOK. West Virginia probably gave us the biggest non-con boost by upending then-top-10 Georgetown at home, while Alabama crept back closer to the polls by handling Georgia in Athens. Long Beach State, North Florida and...
RPI WATCH: 1/7/12
Guess it's been a while since I did one of these, huh? Probably about time for another one, considering another round of Big 12 Conference games is just a few hours away. For the life of me, I don't know how our RPI is staying as high as it is when all of our non-conference opponents keep falling...
RPI WATCH: 1/1/12
Capital One Bowl Week also encompassed a variety of conference and non-conference basketball games, which I have summarized after the jump. Alabama, Charleston Southern, North Florida and Virginia Tech all did their part to keep our RPI high, but George Washington, Loyola Chicago, Southern...
