UNI in Omaha would be amazing!

[NDSUstudent]

I would be SHOCKED if NDSU got a 16...beyond shocked. There are like 7 teams already in that are worse than NDSU (maybe more I havent checked)

Our RPI is under 100...at worst a 15.

Got to think we are a 15 and with a little help from some of these conference tourneys perhaps a 14.

NDSU vs KU in Omaha. Depending upon Big 12 tourney and KU not losing first game.

From a quick review of RPI from NCAA.com

Already 4 of the autobids awarded as of 3/10 using RPI's from 3/9 have RPI's less than NDSU (108):
Coastal Carolina (132) Big South
North Florida (159) Atlantic Sun
Manhattan (164) Metro Atlantic
Robert Morris (184) Northeastern

Belmont (107) OVC : 1 spot ahead of NDSU (108)

Leaders in other low conferences:
Georgia State (70) / Georgia Southern (124) Sun Belt
Eastern Washington (90)/ Montana (146) Big Sky
Stony Brook (106) / Albany (110) America East
N.C. Central (112) Mid-Eastern
New Mexico State (115) WAC
Lafayette (127) Patriot
Texas Southern (131) Southwestern

So, I think that means at least 8 teams with worse RPI's with potential for more. 14 seed seems reasonable.

edit: I forgot about the play-in round. 14 seems... possible.

#3 UNI
#14 NDSU

Calling my shot.....

[NDSUstudent]

Our RPI is actually 97 right now...three straight years with a sub 100 RPI. That is quite an achievement.

Not much for brackets with NDSU in them yet but Bracket Matrix does have the Bison as a 14 seed right now...

On the other thread, someone said JJ is saying a pair of 2s are going to Omaha. Don't know how you can be completely certain about that before the P5 conference tournaments are over, but I think that means the Bison are a lock for Omaha and a 15. But what the hell do I know?

Kansas will more then likely be headed to Omaha and I could see a rematch game of 2009

Kansas will be in Omaha and likely a 2 seed. That could be our matchup. Iowa State could be placed there too as a 3 seed. I see these two as likely scenarios. Or maybe shipped out west again?
