Although the wins over Oakland, Terd and Lamar were important for the RPI, this win will impress a lot of people. A wire-to-wire 17-point win over the #3 RPI on their own court is HUGE. If the rest of the season goes like this, tonight's win should get the Cats an at-large in the NCAA tourney if they don't win the MAC or an 8 or 9 seed if they do. It's the OOC games that drive the RPI in March, and the Cats should be top 10 RPI going into conference play. Fantastic. These are great days to be a Bobcat.
As a post on Panther Nation said "we need to root for Ohio the rest of the year" - we need to do the same for them!
