How big is this Cincy game?

[HarryAGampel]

It seems year in and year out we schedule teams from the America East and NEC, two of the worst conferences in the nation. If we just looked instead to schedule teams from the Patriot League, Ivy, MAAC, or Colonial. All local conferences with 'cupcakes' that aren't as frequently in the 300 RPI range.

I agree that RPI is a crock of $h*t. But the fact is that it matters and we should adjust our scheduling.

And there you go. Proof positive.

Just schedule NJIT instead of Robert Morris.

You say that, but Robert Morris was 153 in the RPI last year. How are you to know?

Robert Morris is the perfect example. Don't you think Cincy expected this to be a mid 100s team at worst? But they're sitting at 307?

Robert Morris
2016: 307
2015: 153
2014: 119
2013: 120
2012: 97
2011: 99
2010: 131

Point is don't schedule 200+ RPI teams.

At the very least no 300+ RPI teams.

Cincinnati fan here.......Don't know if it's a big game for you guys, but from Cincy's perspective it is bigger than Montana. If my Bearcats hold true to form they will play well. They may even out play UCONN for 35 minutes, and then piss themselves in the final 5.........Either way, I hope UC and UCONN get invited to the BIG12 next week.

Thanks, much better than my Maine example.

No we were the ones who had that bad turnover, but you have a tough team and good interior defense. Hope our luck is better in Cincy.

No. That was us

That's unlucky.

But if you schedule 6 Robert Morris's, you'll get 1 dud, 4 in the 100-200 range, and 1 pleasant surprise.

If you schedule 6 Maine's, you'll get 6 duds.

I was being sarcastic
