WKU has played against 5 top 100 RPI teams ( 2 agasint top 15 ) and ODU has played 4 against the top 100 (1 under 50 RPI). Point is, its hard to use stats since both teams did not play a identical schedule (WKU SOS at 31 and ODU SOS at 283) ODU should have the better stats. Marshall was a 1 point fav and we see how that worked out. WKU has beat the spread in all but one game this year i think. I dont think WKU beats ODU on the road..... but thats why we play the game

One top 10 now. Perdue is ranked 7th

Actually two. Forgot Villinova

Purdue is ranked 5th, actually. so we are 1-1 against top 5 teams this year. I'll take it.

Normally don't you consider their ranking when you play them? Purdue was 18th, I believe. I believe Villanova was top 10 at least. Otherwise if they were to spiral in the opposite direction you are discrediting the victory. Not that it matters anyways both are quality teams no matter what parameters you use to quantify a victory.

Yep, should have clarified 'current'. It is great seeing them doing so well. Nova was ranked 5th when we played them, I believe. We are starting to play like we did during that tournament again. Very encouraging.
