Is it possible to cancel the Maine series and add an extra weekday game vs Northeastern? Will it hurt our RPI just playing the games?
Fact. The Big East IS terrible, so win the league's automatic NCAA bid or play Russian Roulette. Honestly, does anyone think the sixth, seventh, eighth place SEC/ACC team is worse than any BE team other than UConn? NO. So that's the reality that the tournament committee faces. We MIGHT (probably this year) get an at-large bid, but it's a crapshoot. That's life in Big Least baseball.They play so few home games you can’t cancel an entire weekend series at home. The Big East is terrible…beyond embarrassing I don’t see the harm in playing in playing Maine. Butler I’m not sure is any better.
FIFY:

The Big East Conference site projects us winning today's game. We're doomed.UConn (30-18 14-4 Big East) RPI: 33
Butler (14-33 3-12 Big East) RPI: 274
Bottom 2nd, with 2 outs, MacArthur hits a solo homer, 1-0 UConn.
West is an interesting case. He’s hard to hit and gets a lot of strikeouts, but 30 walks and HBP’s in 35 innings of work is not great. He could be excellent next year with better control.
