I see RPI 45 and only up one spot despite a sweep of SH, Vandy sweeping UGA, Miami sweeping Ga Tech and UNC now in the top 10. Not looking very good for us to move up if that didn't help much.

I think (i could be wrong) but it also depends on who drops. (Lower than us to then higher than us)

This weekend is the last chance we’ll have to make a serious move up.
 
Did what we needed to do vs UMass and Army to get our 10th straight win. Now a huge series vs St. John’s. Hoping Pudvar is available.

Go Huskies!!!

Chris Jones said during the game broadcast today that he expects that Pudvar will start the game on Friday.
 
Reality check. It is doubtful that we will be considered for an at-large berth. This weekend's series with St. John's is crucial for BE tourney positioning. Take 2 of 3, move into the #1 or #2 slot. A sweep might (emphasis on "might") put us in position for at-large consideration, but our likely path to the NCAA tourney is through the BE tourney winner's automatic bid.

Should we sneak into a #4 at-large seed, I doubt any #1 would be thrilled to face us.
 
I agree that we need a LOT of work to do for an At Large bid, but we were basically in same position last year. So I’m not giving up hope. I believe there were two projections that were posted earlier. We were first 4 out in one, and included in the field in the other. So we are on the bubble.

Stating the obvious, these next approximately 20 games are going to determine our season. Figure we need a Minimum of a 13-7 record in those 20 games. That would get us to 36 - 24. Depending on our RPI, we can sneak in.

Go Huskies!!!
 
Does anyone know if there are plans to ever move the BET out of Cincy? Just feels like DDP would be an awesome option.
Unfortunately, the economics of this will keep it here for as long as Prasco wants to host. I dont remember the specifics but the costs are like ridiculously low to the Big East and i think admissions and concessions are even free there. Its on the sight of a science/pharmaceutical company and they give tickets to all their employees and have a kids fun area around it so its well attended in addition to just the teams families.

I somewhat agree. Im really surprised at the at large consideration we received this week.

Incorrectly posted our RPI at 37 in previous chart, corrected it to 36 in chart below. Wow, what a convincing doubleheader sweep. Our batters are on fire up and down the lineup, and overall our pitching was good today. A win on Sunday would go a long way in a regards to an At Large bid.

Most green so far this year in chart below.

So I will happily admit to having been wrong (again, as someone pointed out earlier). We were obviously not out of a possible at large bid a month ago, as our RPI is now high enough to get us one. Did I foresee a 12 game winning streak with the pitching issues we have? Absolutely not. Don’t see how it’s statistically possible. But here we are, slugging everyone in our path to death and, occasionally when the bats are only fair, having someone step up from somewhere with just enough quality pitching to keep us from losing.

Our schedule is such that we have to win an overwhelming number of our remaining games to keep our RPI in the 30s, but at least it’s in our control. I don’t see how we are where we are with our pitching, but what I see doesn’t count for beans. Let’s keep winning, continue our streak of winning every Big East regular season ‘ship since re-entering the conference and see how this bizarre way of winning games translates to the post season.

Currently the only team that UConn has on its upcoming schedule that has an RPI of over 200 is Butler. Of course they have 3 games scheduled with Butler. Of course, other teams could move back to over 200 in RPI as the season goes along.

The Maine games are all going to be Q4 as well even though they are not over 200
 
37 as of this morning.

UConn did not play today, but as of now the UConn RPI has moved to 39. We will see if it goes up or down again before the game tomorrow.

If I recall correctly, you didn't rule it out, you just said it was incredibly unlikely. You weren't wrong.
