2016-17 Summit League MBB Conference Thread

[BisonJD]

Conference RPI currently sits at 18 sandwiched between the Horizon and the WAC. While we're a long ways off from being a multi-bid league, we are most certainly a "mid-major" conference. For perspective, the Big Fluffy has a conference RPI of 28.

Will be curious to see what (if any) impact a UND addition does for conference RPI. We currently sit at 91, UND sits at 191. While 191 isn't great, it ranks them above SDSU, IUPUI, ORU, and WIU (318-Yikes). If they can pull the Big Sky auto bid, the Summit League essentially inherits another conference champ into the mix, which should improve League perception.

What kind of seed does an RPI of 18 usually get? Any chance of a 14 seed?

14 or 15 is most likely. Hoping for 14.

Conference RPI doesn't really impact seeding that much, I think a 14 is possible if we win out or maybe finish 3-1.

Weren't we a 12th seed when we beat Oklahoma?

Yes had a better overall record and better wins that season.

Yes had a better overall record and better wins that season.

And a tougher non conference slate and a win over Notre Dame. Upsets in conference tourneys can always change things too.
