RPI WATCH: 2/15/2011

By BracketCat

Could Monday night possibly have been more perfect?

Aside from the glaringly obvious — the unexpected, thrilling and cathartic return of the Doom — K-State also will receive RPI and SOS boosts from Texas Southern, which is running away from the SWAC pack, and Savannah State, which won an equally thrilling road game in overtime.

Sure, Alcorn State lost, but the Hornets suck so bad they barely register on my radar. Don't sweat it.

And for the Huggins haters among us (KSB, I'm looking at you), the prelude to our glory was West Virginia's third loss in its last four games — and the one win was at home against woeful DePaul. I'm sure you're jazzed about that.
