B1G needs to have all teams play in the conference tournament

[Caliknight]

The acc has done this and you can already see what is happening. Their 5th place team not gets another crack and top 10 win thus helping their SoS and RPI, not to mention if they were to win.

The B1G needs to follow suit.

It also boosts the RPI of the fourth place team by picking up an extra win

Yep. I really hope the B1G does this next year.

It will be a reason that an acc team gets an at large and a B1G team doesn't.

Ugh. Both Syracuse and Duke lose, more ACC teams move up. Needed both to lose.

I agree all should play. The RPI is so screwed up, just by playing and losing to a top team your RPI goes up.

Need some help here, while watching Hopkins and Michigan, and Hopkins up 14 -8 with 3 mins to go the rankings scrolled on bottom, had Rutgers at 16. Is the RPI out? I dont see it and what poll has us at 16?

You'd think the B1G would game the system by letting the teams on the cusp win like RU and Hopkins.

 

[Rutgers83]

Like the ACC did 2 years ago....

The Nike poll has us at 17.

Thanks.

Penn over Yale. Maryland and Penn St will be ranked 1 and 2 this week. Let’s hope we pull it out tomorrow. Ohio St too will have a serious case for number 1 of we don’t.

Good. Who invited Yale to the party.

Penn State, after Yale beat them. And Penn is on fire after a slow start. They only lost to Penn State by 1.
