Men UConn Baseball 2022

We have thus far played 48 games and of course are a Northeast school. There is no team anywhere else in the Top 25 or so that have played many more games than us if. All the SEC and PAC schools have played the same or less games. That is amazing.

Connecticut lost the series opener to Xavier, but its offense led the way in winning each of the next two games to secure the series win. A six-run first inning in Saturday’s game that featured a grand slam for catcher Matt Donlan and a solo shot for shortstop Bryan Padilla set the tone, and a strong outing from righthander Pat Gallagher (6 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K) made that lead hold up. On Sunday, the lineup really poured it on with 17 runs on 16 hits and eight walks issued by Xavier pitching. All nine starters for UConn had at least one hit, and seven different batters had at least two hits. Donlan, second baseman David Smith and left fielder Korey Morton all homered as well. The win Sunday sewed up the regular season title for UConn, which was a mere formality after its sweep of Creighton two weekends ago. The Huskies, who haven’t had a single losing weekend this season, will finish the regular season at Georgetown. <-
 
Seven teams have canceled games with lower RPI teams in order to not lose ground. What is this allowed?




also: Liberty, TCU and Ole Miss.
 
There is a reason why RPI has been used less and less by hoops and football over the years. It’s a useful tool but, among other shortcomings, it can be manipulated.

A committee that uses RPI without looking at schools that are ducking scheduled games to manipulate the numbers wouldn’t be doing its job.
 
The simple fix is to do what the ice hockey committee already does and toss from the calculation games that a team wins that still negatively impact the RPI.

Because that’s basically why these games are getting dropped: no matter what happens, win or lose, the better team is going to see their RPI drop. This is a counterintuitive and undesirable outcome.

The other thing that can be done is to go entirely over to a bidding system for regional hosting and take the incentive away for that manipulation. At least half of the teams that have dropped such games did so because they’re close to the cut line for a regional hosting bid.
