I was trying to see if we could get a bump up in the victory column labeled "good Win " other then CAL or WVU . Not sure if a win over East Carolina or Richmond would be considered in that category . but that is not known until they play their season. OOC is very important for MW teams.

As of today there are going to be 9 teams involved in the T , the 4 Host schools CAL, WVU, SDSU , Richmond that will play in 1 semi bracket in Las Vegas and play 2 games. 5 others East Carolina, Bethune, Stetson , Sam Houston , Little Rock -( seems East Carolina being the best of the group ), that will play in another V Bracket at Las Vegas . Some teams will play 2 games others 1 in Vegas. As of today Little Rock plays at SDSU during the first round 11/21 , still waiting to see if SDSU will get an additional home game either East Carolina or Sam Houston ? CAL already has its two home games for the first round . Some of the V group will play 2 road games other 1 ?.

Not sure if a win over East Carolina or Richmond would be considered in that category . but that is not known until they play their season. OOC is very important for MW teams. Other than signature wins, the rest of the wins are categorized at the end of the season by their RPI ranks, Top 25, Top 50, etc. I guess a good win would be against a Top 25 and perhaps some of the high visibility teams in the Top 50. Conversely, a bad loss is usually in the 150+ column, IIRC.

Of the 5 teams in the V bracket, would guess the only one that maybe top 150 could be East Carolina ,not sure we play them as the second home game of round 1 has not been announced, if we play Sam Houston doubt that helps us . If we lose to highly rated CAL would not kill us in the ratings , ( a win would be major ) , but then if we do lose, most likely play Richmond and not sure they will be highly rated . So will be interesting to see what we gain from this T . winning 3 of 4 is good if we play decent rated opponents , but if not, then it may not add that much .

Just want to point this out again. If you're interested in going to this tournament & if you're not at a Silver Aztec level or higher, I'd think strongly about buying the tickets through the Orleans website ASAP. We definitely want to outnumber the Cal fans, and it sounds like tickets being made available to SDSU (& presumably other schools) will be extremely limited.
Unfortunately I don't think they have any concrete #'s nor can they predict how many of the Silver Aztec + people will respond, so hard to really know who will & won't score tickets.

Sam Houston State was 21-8 last season and 22-10 the season before. Beating them will help our RPI, they are close to that this season.

Kenpom had them at #81 last year; haven't looked up RPI but would guess they were top 100-ish. Definitely doesn't hurt.
Really odd the complete schedule hasn't been finalized and that there are 9 teams, but oh well. Guess we really don't need to know until October/November...

Schedule as of 8/18 with the 9 teams
11/20 East Carolina at CAL Stetson at WVU
11/21 Bethune at Richmond Little Rock at SDSU
11/23 Bethune at WVU Sam Houston at CAL
Is our second home game - East Carolina( 23rd or 24th ) not Sam Houston ( would it have to be the 19th or?) Any ratings for East Carolina ( AAC Conference) think they have good part of their team back ?
CAL got the best of the first round
Semi's for V bracket: Little Rock vs East Carolina : Bethune vs Stetson . Finals are very interesting set up Sam Houston vs loser of Bethune and Stetson East Carolina vs winner of Bethune and Stetson
