Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3203455, member: 833"] Flip side of the same point. UConn had insane pressure to get a quality win early in the season because there were so few on the conference schedule. Part of the problem is when Tulane would lose to New Orleans, McNeese State and Texas State, like they did in 2016. It doesn't take many losses like those by conference mates before the RPI (or NET today) is basically scalitoed for the whole conference. You basically know by 1/1 how many bids a conference will get give or take, and most years we would know by New Years that an at-large was going to be very tough to get. [/QUOTE]
