Where do you get up to the minute RPI ratings?

Thanks, Indy.

Up to the minute RPI here:

If we end up 20 or so, we should get a 5-6 seed, which means we will get a 7-8 seed.

What a great win.

The Plaisted foul that wasn't called and our players taunting the UNM fans though may have put a big dent in our quest for the sportsmanship trophy.

I will really be a big fan of this team when they not only learn how to win, but do so in a manner that will have the rest of the fans in the MWC loving us too.

BYU should win out through the regular season to win the MWC outright at 14-2. If they do that and make it to the MWC tourney semis, I think they are looking at an 8 seed. Make the championship game and it is probably a 7. Win out the rest of the year and it is a strong case for a 5 seed and 6 at the worst.

I thought a few weeks ago that there were three things that BYU has yet to do under Rose. They were beat UNLV in Vegas, win at Cox Arena in San Diego over the Aztecs and win that elusive first round tourney game. I thought it likely that 2 out of the 3 would be accomplished. If I had my pick the best two would be the tourney win and beating UNLV in Vegas in that order.

I think I am pumped. Very solid win and a sign of mental toughness that the program has been lacking.

Brethren, somebody is livin' right!

Trent Plaisted...I love you man!

I think I feel something special happening here. Even Mike Waters tuned in. Late, and after having spent his inheritence and doing his share of pig tending, but he tuned in nonetheless.

A real gutsy win. That was impressive.

Please give me details of the taunting before I go to Utefans.net and read Proud2banALUF proclaim that some 21 year old kid stands against EVERYTHING the LDS Church stands for, and no the fact that the kid ripped out his heart and stomped upon it had nothing to do with such a statement. Purely inspired by his love of his fellow man and pure intent to build the Kingdom of God.

F themselves amongst my friends, old people, stands for "farton themselves". Happens often as the older you get the less likely you are able to discern what is coming down the pike.

You younger folks I think refer to it as "shit their pants".

I don't know the details. I just heard it happened and I so badly want to believe it happened.

Are you referring to Trent running down the court and shaking his Jersey (the BYU logo on the front of his jersey, I think) at the crowd? I thought the announcers said he was doing that to the BYU fan section.

If it was done towards UNM fans, I'm slightly disappointed in the conduct.
