NCAA Weekly RPI 2024

[(R)uffda!]

Top 16 question:

If it comes down to Minnesota with a rating of about 17 or 18 or a couple of other schools whose arenas are smaller than the ~5,700 seat Maturi Pavillion, would the Gophers have an advantage of getting that 16th seed?

Yes, that's an advantage they probably have. That's always been a problem for volleyball. Look to the future and help create a NEW 5,700 spectator program, or just take the cash now. Keep drinking from the same trough. See Omaha and ANY volleyball event looking for a place to play.

I wish you were wrong but I don't think you are. The NCAA is one of the most corrupt, self serving, hypocritical organization on the planet. Good for us though....

Gophers have fallen to 31 in the RPI now.

The one thing the Gophers have going for them is the lack of a bad loss. I know a lot of fans consider the USC and Washington losses bad. While they were not great performances those are both NCAA tournament teams. Every team the Gophers have lost to are tournament teams. I would love for them to have had a couple more good wins. Last chance for one of those is this Wednesday in Madison.
