RPI

[nimzovich]

seems to me i remember several posters being concerned about the (lack of) strength of UConn's out-of-conference schedule.

well, according to realtimerpi.com, with 9 of the 12 OOC games in the book, the Huskies' are 9th in rpi, and the schedule is third best in the league and 21st best in the country.

oddly enough, it's the relative weakness of the Big East, ranked only 5th in the country right now, that is more likely to impact them adversely come march......

Yes fortunately all of our cupcakes are only marginal cupcakes this year. Lowest Pomeroy rating Coppin State 229, with Maine 200, and Holy Cross will be around 210 when we play them. Sub 250 teams kill RPI (obviously thats RPI not Pomeroy rating, but still). Wagner (96) is 7-2 and that helps.
