The CCSU game might cost us a bid...

Holy crap - I somehow missed that CCSU finished DEAD LAST (351) in both RPI and kenpom. talk about a resume anchor!!!

Just for giggles, figure about 5 points worth improvement for every 50 or so RPI slots higher team we would replace CCSU with. Beating QU (291), for example, gets us to RPI 52 / SOS 52. Fairfield (138)? 40 / 43. How much would we love those few slots right now?

Keep blaming the RPI. Obviously part of the duck UConn conspiracy

Losing 10 games puts us in the position where RPI stupidity like this matters.

Playing teams ranked in 300's is a long standing UConn tradition.

Playing teams ranked in 300's is a long standing UConn tradition.

So was being ranked wire to wire, frequently in the Top 10, and playing Top 25/50 teams every week in a good conference. In that era, scheduling RPI-killing games didn't matter. It does now.

No one is using RPI as a rationale for UConn being 'duck'ed. We're blaming the school for scheduling 300+ RPI teams. There's LITERALLY nothing to gain and everything to lose when scheduling versus those teams... and I'm not talking about the outcome of the game itself.

Yes, the RPI and OSMP * are killing us.

CCSU
Temple
Cincinati
