It's too bad, but now that UHart is transitioning to DIII, we should not schedule them again.

Hoping UConn's Big East record will also be in the green after next weekend's home series against Georgetown. I will note that the Georgetown series may be a little more competitive than what we were initially expecting. Georgetown's RPI had been moving towards the 200 range as the season progressed, but this week they have been improving their record some, with beating Maryland on the road during the midweek, and so far having split a home series against a solid Creighton team this weekend (the previous weekend they had lost a series to Seton Hall club that is now over 200 in the RPI). As usual, we'll see what happens.
We are (as of 6:00pm) #14 RPI. BC has dropped to #17. Wins Tuesday and Wednesday against NE and BC will enhance our chances to host a regional. It’s a long way off, but these games are crucial.Georgetown won today, so they took the series against Creighton. Georgetown now has an RPI of 158, which is an improvement from when it was in the 200 range. Creighton now has an RPI of 119.
Update, at 6:51pm. Now we are #16. This is just like hockey. RPI changes with each game.
Which is exactly why no one should be obsessing about small differences in the rpi.Yup, RPI is always bouncing around as more results from other games from other teams come in. All depends on when you look at it.
-> The hosting race is shaping up excitingly and there are a few new hosts in this week’s field. Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon and Southern Miss move up, while Boston College, Campbell, Louisville and Oklahoma State fall out. Louisville and Campbell were just off the host line in this projection. BC and Oklahoma State have scuffled in conference play lately and need to climb back up the standings to host (Oklahoma State also has RPI trouble).
UConn and Southern Miss are in the top 20 in RPI and at or near the top of their conferences. UConn may be at an RPI peak because after Wednesday it won’t face a top-100 RPI team the rest of the regular season. Southern Miss, meanwhile, must keep up its pace in the more difficult Sun Belt conference. But if both teams can stay in this range, they’ll be in strong spots to host. <-
