I'm so stoked about these RPI's.

UNLV 12
AFA 15
BYU 23

This is going to be the year we're not screwed on our seed based on RPI, I can feel it.

In the past, we had conference dynamics that worked against us. i.e. we had gawdy RPI but finished behind a MWC foe that had a bad RPI.

This year we are all three going to finish top 30 RPI.

The key will be being the most deserving or second most deserving MWC team. I expect UNLV to win MWC tourney on their home court. But that will be discounted by the committee, so it is up to the following.

If we can finish 1st in MWC reg season or tied for 1st with only one other team, and/or make it to MWC tourney championship. If we do that, we capitalize on these high RPI's and become a 6 or 7 seed.

If not, but still finish tied for MWC reg season and top 30 RPI, we do no worse than a 9 seed--and are favored in our first NCAA game.
