What league can UConn win?

[Purple Stein]

Did some quick research over at realtimerpi.com. Over there, UConn has an RPI of 94, which would make them the leaders of the following conferences (current leaders and RealTimeRPIs in parentheses):

Big Sky (Portland State 106)
Ivy (Princeton 154)
NEC (Robert Morris 144)
Big South (Radford 115)
Patriot (Bucknell 112)
Southland (Steven F. Austin 116)
MEAC (Savannah State 203)
SWAC (Texas Southern 240)

Relevant to this thread, we would be second in the America East, sandwiched between Vermont (74) and Albany (165).

TLDR: Not only could we win a conference, we could win 8 of them! But maybe not the America East.

MAAC or MEAC whichever is the one Iona plays, Canisius I think is in 1st right now, also the missouri valley is pretty bad this year, Drake was leading it 4-1 and just got slaughtered by the worst team in that conference N IOWA by 12+

It was a good loss, thought the guys played together, loved one another, fought hard, came out with intensity, just couldn’t maintain it..”

Not funny

'An NBA guy.' Hopefully that means Kevin Ollie

I’d say NESCAC but I saw Wesleyan and they have a guy who can shoot the 3.

C'mon, lighten up. Did I not tickle the right spot? I'm sorry... Smile Bra.. Life is like a box of chocolates!

In the MAAC, UConn ranks second behind Rider (87) and just ahead of Iona (97).

The MVC is the 8th ranked conference, just behind the AAC. UConn would be third behind Missouri State (65), Loyola Chicago (68), and just ahead of Illinois State (98).

RPI isn't a perfect tool, and the more big-fish-small-pond teams play in their conferences, the better UConn's RPI should look in context. In reality, UConn could probably win more than 8 conferences, but the fact that we feel at all compelled to have the conversation is probably all we need to know.

I mean we could still win the conference tournament

Any of the bottom half (ranking wise) I think uconn would win, or at least finish in the top 2.

Jeff's hatred of Uconn is relentless, glad this hack is getting his jabs in now. Troll.
