Art, I'll have something for you in a little bit. Shouldn't be too hard to dig up.

Answer for Art
It was #21 Missouri State (formerly Southwest Missouri State) in 2005-06.
The RPI has been used as a measuring tool by the Selection Committee since at least 1993-94. Here are the best RPI's to get left out of the field for each of those seasons:
1993-94: 33 (Oklahoma)
1994-95: 36 (Virginia Tech)
1995-96: 42 (Providence)
1996-97: 29 (Texas Tech)
1997-98: 35 (Wake Forest)
1998-99: 40 (Oregon)
1999-00: 34 (Southwest Missouri State)
2000-01: 40 (Mississippi State)
2001-02: 43 (Villanova)
2002-03: 5 **(Georgia)
2003-04: 38 (LSU)
2004-05: 39 (Miami of Ohio)
2005-06: 21 (Missouri State)
2006-07: 30 (Air Force)
2007-08: 32 (Dayton)
**ineligible for NCAA Tournament

Selection day cruel to Missouri State
And not just those two seasons. Missouri State also was left out in 2006-07 with a RPI of #36.

SHAFT H-O-F?
They must have their own wing in the "Shaft Hall-of-Fame". I think my memory was combining a couple of those years!
The sports talk radio morning guy here in DSM frequently mentions the lack of respect the Missouri Valley conference tends to get. He also does the Drake Univ. radio play-by-play, so he's not entirely impartial, but he does tend to know what he is talking about....
