You're getting all wrapped up in opinions that have zero impact on the actual decision.   Go look at Georgia Southern's RPI pre-NCAA tourney.  Hint: It has a 2 handle AND they hosted (the range UConn will probably end up post BE tourney-see my prior Warrennolan post in this thread).  So it is possible but it's subjective.  At the end of the day you can crunch all the numbers you want there's still a level of subjectivity involved.  Can't control it so can't stress on it.  What UConn can control is winning all 4 games this week, winning at least 2 of 3 at Creighton, and winning BE tourney. When you're playing in the Big East your margin of error is thin and you're usually going to be on the fence with these types of decisions.  And let's be brutally honest Uconn's non-conf was not a torture chamber. Remember Uconn was a #3 seed last year in a BRUTAL regional and actually had a decent RPI.  Take care of business get the auto bid and hosting is the icing on the cake.   If they slump the next 2 weeks you'll be sweating out an at-large bid. I'm sure this is Penders thinking as well.  Baby steps.
