Bracketbusters home game

Re: Bracketbusters home game

Drake looks like the obvious choice, but the Jacks could end up hosting UC Santa Barbara as 3 west coast teams in top 10 away side and only 2 western teams in top 10 home side

Re: Bracketbusters home game

As of this morning, we are 69th and 7th on the home side. Number 7 on the away side is Drake at 87th.

Big game tonight not only against rival and conference foe but also against #114 NDSU. Their loss to UND dropped them about 30 spots in RPI. A win tonight would most likely be a nice little RPI bump for either team.

With the Bison win, Jacks are to #6 home. ORU a #4 home. Need to win OU/IPFW games to keep this wonderful Bracketbuster game. ESPN or ESPN2 national audience sounds great.

As of today, @ESPNLunardi projects SDSU to host a national TV game against UT-Arlington in BracketBusters. ORU would get a TV game, too.

That would be a tough match-up. UT-Arlington lost at Baylor by only 10.

Yes it would and last week they were rated #25 on the mid-major poll and #1 in the Southland Conference. The main thing hurting them is their conference RPI which is #28.

Re: Bracketbusters home game

UT-Arlington lost to a very, very mediocre Tulsa team in overtime. You guys would destroy UTA in a bracket buster match up.

Re: Bracketbusters home game

After last nights Oakland loss, SDSU is still the #7 team on the home bracket with a RPI of 66. The #7 team in the away bracket is currently Drexel at 86. A win against IPFW would go a long way to securing a nice home televised game. Go State!!

Drexel would be a great team to play in the bracketbusters. A Colonial Conference team that has beaten both George Mason and VCU in the last couple weeks. Theyve won 14 of 15. I know a lot of casual fans wouldnt have a clue about Drexel, GM or VCU but they are a conference that has made some noise in the Big Dance over the years. Bring em on......But lets win Sat night and then we worry about the Bracketbuster.

Re: Bracketbusters home game

My prediction if they go by RPI and i guess it depends which RPI you look at.

St Marys at Creighton
Wichita St at Murray St
Long Beach St at Oral Roberts
Akron at Iona
UNI at Clev St
Nevada at SDSU
Drexel at Davidson
Drake at Ohio
Buffalo at Loyola MD
Valpo at Missouri St
Lamar at VCU
Oakland at New Mexico St
NC Asheville at Weber

I had Akron against Clev St but they played this year so i didnt know if that mattered and switched them with Iona and UNI.
I probably will be way off.

Re: Bracketbusters home game

This guy thinks it might be UNI.

Re: Bracketbusters home game

it'd be nice to play someone we've never played before. the Jacks have played Nevada, no?

Re: Bracketbusters home game

Correct we had a home and home series against Nevada. They beat us in Reno two years ago and we beat them in Frost last season.I would like to play Drexel, just to play somebody we have not played.
