RPI WATCH: 11/28/11

The Good: Loyola and Southern Illinois finally won a game, Virginia Tech won two in a row, Iowa State collected a pair of neutral-site wins, and Alabama, Missouri and Xavier continued to pad their undefeated records and climb the polls.

The Bad: UMES is a mess, losing three more to fall to a woeful 1-7; Southern Illinois and UTEP aren't much better at 1-3; and Long Beach State continued not to build on a great win at Pitt by losing its second straight.

The Ugly: After a brilliant 2-0 start in Anaheim, Oklahoma was thoroughly dismantled by Saint Louis. Also, Oklahoma State was 0-2 in the Garden and Texas Tech was 0-3 in Orlando. 'Nuff said.
