I don't know how to link Twitter, but he has 5 B1G teams in: MSU, Purdue, Minny, Maryland, and Michigan. He has NU in the "next four out" -- basically, the 8th team out. 3 of our 4 losses so far are to tourney teams -- Purdue, Texas Tech, and Creighton.

We will get there easily if we keep playing like we did against Purdue, or better, with consistency.

In the real world we have about 100 rpi slots to climb (and we’ll continue to fall after our next two games). CC didn’t do us any favors with another cupcake schedule. Might not be enough competition left to allow us to climb enough. It’s looking like we can only lose a few more games until we’re mathmatically eliminated.

An NIT would be a nice way for the seniors to go out (home game).

Repeat after me: "Nobody actually uses RPI for anything anymore, even though it might make Holy Cross look like a better team."

KenPom has us at 56. Not much to climb at all.

And we will be eliminated from the Dance if we lose just two more games? Where on earth do you come up with this stuff? So if we win all but two BIG games, we'll be out? Solid logic. That's the way it might work for Holy Cross, but not us.

Bill Carmody sucked.

The first sentence of this article might disabuse you of (some of) your ignorance.

“And we will be eliminated from the Dance if we lose just two more games?”

Not sure what you mean here?

"It’s looking like we can only lose a few more games until we’re mathmatically eliminated."

Can you figure out what I mean now?

The entire rest of the article goes on to compare RPI unfavorably to the half dozen other metrics the committee considers, ultimately concluding that RPI's drawbacks may in fact surpass its ubiquity very soon.
