Neutral floor, I'm going with New Mexico by 3-4.

How much would uncc lose to Memphis by?

Who knows but we beat Xavier. Better start praying for a conference tournament win.

Just to tell the whole story in an up-front manner; you beat Xavier.......at your home.

They are steamrolling through a conference with the second highest RPI. That's right...the MWC currently has an RPI just a tad bit lower than the Big 10. They have a two-game lead in the conference, and are about to win the MWC for the fourth time in the last five years. UNM's SOS is #4 and their current RPI is 3.

#4 SOS my hat. Don't get me wrong, my family lives in New Mexico (Taos) and I casually follow Lobos basketball. Always wanted to catch a game in the Pitt, but I always seem to be in ABQ a day or two early/late. The MWC didn't win as many "big" OOC games as they have the past few years. I see it as a down year compared to the last couple.

By the way, do you live near UNM? I walked around campus the last time I flew in, and was quite impressed with the place. Had lunch at a surprisingly good Irish pub too, of all things.

Look at their schedule.

I hadn't looked before and I was surprised. It's hard to argue with that ranking in looking at the schedule.

Not many triple digit rpi rankings on their schedule.

You're correct. The point is to get under his skin since he got upset that I picked New Mexico on a netural court.

Either way Xavier is a pretty average team and I would put my 49ers as slightly above average.

If you are referring to me getting upset they you picked New Mexico on a netural court you are mistaken.

I just was curious as to what your opinion was. We might lose to Charlotte at Charlotte. But I believe we'd beat them and Xaiver by 20+ at home.

Charlotte is a ways above average this year.

Good teams don't lose to GW, Richmond, and at home to Temple by 20+. On the other hand we've had some really solid wins which is why I say we are slightly above average.
