How about scheduling another game?

The lowest RPI ranked team that Geno has played is............Not UM-Lowell, it's Seton Hall. UML - 187, Seton Hall - 274. Jeff had a chance to play against UConn and he whiffed it. He decides to play nothing but a scrimmage game, he is not going to learn anything about his team. I thought that only Kim did stuff like this.

Where is your support for what you're saying happened?

I guess one more characteristic of our wonderful Covid world, is that the top 5-8 teams in WCBB are now committed to not playing anybody OOC. Seems like with the sophistication of ranking services like Kenpom, teams wouldn’t be so worried about win/loss records.
How many really good games have we had so far in WCBB? I mean the top teams. The teams in weaker leagues are screwed even more than usual this year. UConn can’t do anything more than they’re doing to get good games. Geno can’t help it the Big East is non-competitive. I guess it’s ACC or Pac10 or bust. Disappointing!!
I want to see UConn play good games. What can be done?

What's UMass-Lowell's RPI? Massey rates UML at 281.

Seems that Louisville had an agreement to play another team that fell through. Jeff quickly found a team to play.

Beyond silly.

And that is somewhat meaningful. But the RPI in December is totally meaningless. You'd get about as accurate a ranking using a random number generator. Even at the end of February, the RPI can be very misleading. It is theoretically possible for a team to go 0-30, losing every game by 50+ points, and yet end up with a top 20 RPI. That can easily be demonstrated.

Massey is not an RPI site, it takes into account more than just wins/losses and the win loss percentages of it's opponents. I stated RPI so go to the RPI site that stated and you will see what I stated was correct.

I know. I don't think much of RPI. Any rating that says UML is better than Seton Hall is way off.

The entire discussion is ridiculous.
