Men Wins Needed for a 2025 At Large Bid

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.

Let’s just win and keep it in the 30s!!
 
Dominating weekend sweep of St John’s. On a 13 game winning streak, which is the longest current streak in the country. Few thoughts below.

(1) I did not previously take into account the Bryant game that was canceled earlier in the season. So I updated the chart, and it is reflected in the Norteast and Season record line items

(2) When checking the conference RPI category more closely, I saw that they ranked Independents as the number 1 conference. But that category only included Oregon State which is playing an independent schedule this year. So I am disregarding them and moving the Big East from 12th to 11.

(3) What worries me is that we are probably battling Xavier and Creighton for possibly 2 BE bids. I hope I’m wrong, but I would be surprised if the BE gets 3 bids. We have lost 2 of 3 to both Xavier and Creighton. So not only do we have to close the regular season strong, we probably have to get to the championship game of the BE tournament. I figure it would hurt us if Xavier played Creighton in the Championship game while we were eliminated earlier.

The only thing we can do is keep on winning.

Go Huskies !!!

That is a great point and I definitely agree. It would be nice if (at least) one of them stumbles a couple games down the strech so its a clear two team race at the top of the conference.
 
Connecticut: You were playing with fire if you wrote off the Huskies from postseason contention earlier this season when they were struggling. In not-so-shocking news, Jim Penders has UConn playing exceptionally well heading down the stretch. UConn did a clean sweep of St. John’s in Big East action over the weekend and climbed nine spots in the RPI as a result to 39. With 15 wins vs. Q1/Q1, a solid RPI for a northern school and a strong 11-4 Big East record, I’d have UConn comfortably in today.
 
Very Disappointing loss after being up 6-0, and 9-3. Tough to win when you give up 10 runs in one inning.

Let’s start another streak.

Go Huskies!!!

In all candor, even if we were to win every remaining game until the conference tournament, fall short there but perform as well as logically possible without winning the tournament, I'm not sure someone would be able to convince me that we warrant an at large bid.

We need to win as many games as we can for seeding in the BE tournament, then take home that trophy.

I’d like to win the regular season championship. Unlike the conference tourney, that’s skill more than luck. Plus, as I’ve said, we do not have the pitching to win a conference or NCAA regional if we have to go 5 games to do it.

I think 8-2 will still get them in. Only 10 teams in the country have more Quad 1 and 2 wins and UConn beat 3 of those teams. My biggest fear is Creighton or St. John"s win the BE Tournament and Xavier gets the at large bid and the committee refuses to put 3 BE teams in.

8-2 seems to me is a possible realistic run for UConn through the end of the regular season, after going 13-0 followed by 1 loss. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
 
Bats were on fire yesterday. We have now won 15 of last 16 games. Couple of notes below.

(1) we currently have the lowest RPI ( 38th) in the Big East.

(2) we have the most Q1 wins (5) in the Big East

(3) yesterday the first 5 batters in our lineup , were 11 for 23 with 5 Home Runs!!!

As we all keep saying, the only thing we can do is keep on winning!!

Go Huskies!!!

What can you say about our hitting, except it’s been amazing. Hopefully get the game in tomorrow.

Go Huskies!!!!

Last year Ole Miss at 36 and Northeastern at 39 did not make the tournament. Ole Miss was under .500 with a record of 27-29. Northeastern ( I believe) had 39 wins but a strength of schedule of 111.
Our RPI of 34 bodes well, with our strength of schedule at 63. But again as we have all said, we need to keep winning. We have a thin margin of error.

Go Huskies
