Rouser: your RPI question yesterday (+ a few other bubbler RPIs)

[SelectionSunday]

Rouser, can't locate the thread where you asked it, but to answer your question, our RPI didn't drop much after last night's loss. Fell from 60 to 64.

Other RPI's of note (bubblers) in the B1G. ...

#43 Northwestern
#49 Illinois
#55 Purdue

And a sampling of some other bubblers across the country. ...
#28 Colorado State (the true definition of an "RPI tiger")
#33 Miami-Florida
#42 Texas ('Horns are doing what bubble teams are supposed to do at this time of year, win games & take the mystery out)
#46 BYU
#47 Saint Joseph's
#50 NC State
#56 Xavier
#57 UCF
#59 Washington
#67 Arizona
#68 Oregon
#69 Arkansas
#74 Dayton
#75 Colorado
#93 Cincinnati

Thanks. About what I expected. No real surprise yesterday (re: RPI or outcome). The real test is Saturday.. must win game. Cannot see Northwestern making the tourney if they lose to us twice, or at least making it ahead of us. Obviously, Northwestern on the road and Nebraska at home are must wins. Then, its a minimum of 1 win for MSU, @ Wisky or Ind. I think we win three and we have a chance to make it, especially if we end up playing another bubble team in the BTT.
