[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1361681, member: 7292"] Winning record in the conference means nothing in the eyes of the committee. Not a determinant for getting into the tournament. Our rpi did jump because Mizzou was artificially high, they will most likely drop when they get into SEC play without M. Porter Jr. Mizzou does not look like a guaranteed tournament team at this point. You are also describing a scenario with 10 wins, yet other than Purdue, does not really have any marquee wins. For the Illini to make it into the tournament they will have to get some wins against some of the better teams, Michigan State, Michigan, Minnesota, Purdue, etc. Just winning against Purdue @home will not do it. The scenario that you are describing is not likely a "tournament" selection scenario. JMO. [/QUOTE]
