NCAA Bids Ensured for Some, but Unsure for Others

By Eric Prisbell

"With five weeks to go before Selection Sunday, the Washington area's five major men's basketball teams find themselves in vastly different circumstances as they vie to be included among the 65 teams invited to the NCAA tournament."

"The area school with the best chance to earn a high seed is Georgetown, which has beaten two top 10 teams -- Duke and Pittsburgh -- since Jan. 21. The Hoyas (16-4) also have a high ceiling in terms of a seeding because of the strength of the Big East, which features at least four legitimate Final Four contenders and could earn between seven and nine bids to the tournament."
That's what I'm talking about.

That article spent all of about one-tenth on the Hoyas and the rest on garbage, particularly UMCP.

Funny how the team with the "best chance" gets the least coverage.

Well, Prisbell is the Terps writer and near as I can tell this serves as the preview article for tonight's game... The next article ought to be much livlier, after the Terps lose again tonight and Gary Williams goes on a murderous rampage by yelling at his players until they die.

"Only one team, Memphis, has more road wins than the Hoyas in the RPI's top 36."

Umm, that's nice to say and all, but can someone tell me what our road wins against RPI top 36 teams are, because looking at realtimerpi.com, I don't see any.

I think he means that he have the second-most road wins of the teams in the RPI top 36.

That's what he means. In other words, of the top 36 teams in the RPI, only Memphis has more road wins than GU.
