RPI WATCH: 2/11/2010

There were some good wins Tuesday night by our fallen foes.

Dayton absolutely crushed league-leading Charlotte 75-47, which throws the Atlantic 10 wide open and into complete chaos. It might be even more of a wide-open race than the Big Ten, actually.

On the flip side, UNLV, which already won at The Pit, lost the return game at home to New Mexico. I was hopeful that the Runnin' Rebels might be in the rankings to stay this time, but they're probably on their way back out, despite losing to a higher-ranked opponent.

Baylor and Missouri both got wins that weren't aesthetically pleasing, but neither will apologize for them. As long as you don't lose to Nebraska and Iowa State, you're in good shape.
