Men Wins Needed for a 2024 At Large bid

[ucjoet]

Incredible performance by Ben Schild last night in his first ever start. Maybe we have found a much needed gem. Love Daniels in lead off spot.

Big RPI win last night. Will start posting RPI after this weekend.

Go Huskies!!!

Great pitching performance by Coe last evening and a big win. I’m going to include the team and conference RPI after todays game.

Great winning series today. Hoping we have started to turn the corner. We do need to string a few wins together, but these early season games may pay big dividends at end of year ( RPI wise).

Even though it is still very early, our RPI is at 18. Also the Big East has 3 teams in top 50 RPI, and a total of 6 teams in top 100. The Conference RPI rank is #4. Not sure if this will keep up, but so far so good.

I love that you do this - for more of a casual fan this stuff is pretty hard to follow.

Based on your understanding of who we have played so far - how many games "behind" do you think we are in terms of what you would have expected our record to be by now to be an at large team?

The Rhode Island loss was a tough one. Did come back with a good hitting game vs LIU. Need to string some wins together.

Great question. By my calculations we are a 4 to 5 wins behind. I figured this by taking the "projected" winning percentage of each category, and multiply it by the games we have played in that category. Also we would need to to go 32 - 8 the rest of the year to reach our 40 win goal. That means winning 80 percent of our remaining games. Not an easy task.

Stating the obvious , we really need to string a bunch of victories together.

Losing 3 of last 4 really hurts. Thought we were going to make a run once we got back from California trip.

Agree with your comment. As the California spring break trip progressed, it seemed to me that the team was starting to turn things around after the poor start to the season. Thought UConn baseball was about to make a nice run of things. Well, so much for that, need to hope that things come around when the Big East games start, otherwise it could be that UConn baseball's streak of 5 consecutive invites to the NCAA tournament might end with this season.

I’m historically optimistic about our At Large bid opportunity, but this year we need an incredible turnaround for us to have any possibility.
Our only saving grace at this time is our team and conference RPI. If this keeps up, we may be able to sneak in with less than our 40 win goal.
We obviously need to string Many wins together.

Go Huskies!!!

Still with 6 opportunities against quality out of conference teams remaining. Currently top 100 rpi. It’s a long shot at an at-large, but itll keep it interesting.

Easier said then done, but a Big East exit across all sports but hockey, asap, is needed. Unfortunately, a 6th Title will only further Uconn from a P5 affiliation! Sad, but truth in that I believe.

 

[ucjoet]

Hate giving up on a possible At Large bid, but with losses piling up we are definitely a very long shot. Looks like our goal for this year, is to make ( and win) the Big East tournament.

Once the Big East season starts, I will make a separate category ( top 4 in BE).

[ucjoet]

Unfortunately as each loss adds up, our At Large bid becomes less likely. I hate to say this so early in the season, but looks like the only way we are getting a bid is to win BE tournament.

Hopefully we can get going once BE play starts.

Was at game yesterday. Went with my friend Sean Moore ( Ryan Moore’s dad). We were able to speak with Coach Penders before the game. Always a pleasure speaking to him and a classy man.
He hooked us up with a tour of the facilities, with our guide being Ryan Daniels. Three of the four of us graduated from St. Paul, so it was nice that a fellow St Paul graduate gave us the tour.
Facilities are amazing. Ryan was a very impressive young man. Represents the university and baseball team extremely well. It was a pleasure meeting him.
The day was topped off with a win, hopefully this gets the team going in right direction.

Check-in: Creighton (3 seed w/ auto-bid) & St. John as a “first four out”. Still time to make noise.

Much needed win. Let’s get a series win tomorrow. Getting ready for hoops game.

Hard to call the 3rd game of Big East season a must game, but it was a huge win. Even though I’m not officially given up on At Large bid possibility, it obviously is almost certain we need to win conference tourney.

So now our main goal is to get into conference tournament. Big series at home vs St.John’s this weekend, after 2 out of conference games.

Go Huskies!!!

Right now the Big East is rated No. 6 in conference RPI. Over the last several seasons the Big East has usually been around No. 13 in conference RPI. Right now only 1 team (Villanova is below 200 in the RPI, and 5 teams are in the top 100. Not bad for the conference.

At Large berth is gone. Win the automatic BE tourney bid or summer commences early.

Realistically I agree. But I wanted to wait through next weekends Georgetown series, before I officially stopped updating the chart.

Love winning on Friday nights. Cooke and Dalena with outstanding performances. One step at a time, but a win gets us to .500.
