Big Sky Basketball - 2012-13

[Mvemjsunpx]

That was only Weber's third DI game, so there's obviously a lot of variance. They have 1 road win & 2 road losses; road wins are worth 1.4 wins while road losses are worth .6 losses. So, in other words, Weber's winning percentage went from 0% to 53.8% overnight.

Hey, where is a good place to grab RPI rankings?

Well… I wouldn't say http://www.realtimerpi.com is "good," but they seem to be the only free one left.

[SDHornet]

Yeah these are meaningless. As of now, Sac State has an RPI of 199 with a 3-1 (D-1) record. Come to think of it, this is probably the highest it has been in the last decade.

This should be an interesting year for EWU. We showed definite signs of improvement last year with Hayford. This year the team is mostly Hayford's recruits, including 4 international kids. Two from Australia (F Venky Jois 6'7-220, and G Daniel Hill 5'9-160) and two from Germany (C Frederik Jörg 7'1-285, and F Thomas Reuter 6'6-225) to go along with Oregon transfer F Martin Seiferth 6'10-230 who is also from Germany.

GO EAGS!

Saw those recruits looks like they could make noise.

They will next year, once we learn how to play as a team.

Yeah, sounds like there have been quite a few close loses in these OOC games.
