3-4 now… let's see how they do against Yale tomorrow.

At this point I'm a Yale fan.

as of right now Florida does not look like a tournament team. They will likely be on the bubble come selection time.

Worst loss on their schedule is in OT to Georgetown, who themselves aren't bad; others are to UNC, KU, and Miami. They certainly have more chances at nice wins throughout conference play. Their chances of getting in the tournament right now are better than ours I'd say; that is made abundantly clear when it's now to the point where we are pretty much relying on a win there and near-undefeated in conference for a chance to get in (unless we find a way to beat Puke).

Florida's RIP is 118. Never seen a team with a 118 RIP get into the tournament unless they win their conference tournament. They are 3-4 and got taken to OT against UL Monroe. Certainly need to do work going forward, but at this point I can't even see them on the bubble let alone "in"

Why are we discussing RPI 7 games in to a 30+ game season

Because.. being in a 1 bid league we don't have many opportunities to beat top 25 teams. This being one of them preseason. Let's hope Florida plays better going forward because they are not good at the moment.

Ha seriously. Especially with a team who has been without 3 of their best 6 players for a good number of games.

I'm not questioning the talk about RPI; I'm questioning talking about it at this point in the season. You don't really expect Florida to be 118 by the end of the season when it matters, do you?

I mean.. I've seen them play a few times.. they just plain aren't good by any metric. I expect them to be a hell of a lot better than they are but they haven't showed it so far. The almost lost to UL Monroe…One of the worst teams in D1 hoops. Let's see how they do against Yale (common opponent) tonight.

Billy lit a fire under their butts, they look good tonight.

They're a strange team but talented. A lot like us but on a given night more firepower than we can bring I think. But if our guys defend as we know they can, everything changes.

Florida's RPI is not going to be anything close to 118 at the end the season. You pointed out that Yale's current RPI is meaningless in the other thread, but you can't figure out that the same thing applies to Florida too?

Doesn't make coherent of consistent arguments. He made a big doom and gloom thread after we lost to Louisville last year, and when called on it, just turned around and raged at the person who called him out rather than own up to anything. Best to not take anything he says seriously.
