Wins needed to make NCAA at large

I believe, but don't hold it against me if I'm wrong, that it would still be considered a home game. I would say for situations like this to look at the official UConn website for the schedule and use that to base the rpi off of. The best example I can relate it to was a few seasons ago when an MLB team ended up playing home games in a different city due to snow
 
I asked Chris Jones who does the UConn BB broadcasts for WHUS about RPI - this is his thoughts. In another tweet - he thought there was no way it would count as " home" game from an RPI standpoint since it's @ Hoya's field.

I'm not sure at this point. My guess is that is will counted as neutral site game. I'm still trying to figure out details.

the game is being played at gtowns home field so I don't know how ncaa could rule it as home games for UConn.

He will find out for sure...

Great work trying to find out details. Since Georgetown RPI is pretty low it would be beneficial that they be considered away games.
 
Georgetown is off to a good start record wise at 14 - 6. Looking a little closer they have not played a top 50 RPI team, and only 1 team in the top 100. The average RPI of the teams which Georgetown has beaten is # 204 ( very low). So anything less than 2 wins would be incredibly disappointing. I am hoping for a sweep and hopefully the games are considered away games. Seems unfair if they were not considered away games. A sweep may get us ranked, and if not we should be just outside the top 25.
 
Looking over some of the current rankings, it looks like a long shot to be ranked even with a sweep of GTown. Definitely should receive some votes.

We had the votes - we needed two out of three against Pres and CoC and we'd be there. Woulda, coulda, shoulda...
 
Down 2-0 top 4th. Georgetown has man on 3rd 2 outs. No hitting so far and an error here in the 4th has cost them a run.
 
.-.
3 unearned runs. Taylor made double play in the inning and Verdi made bad throw to Mazzilli. Don't have a good feeling about this one and it's a shame because this is a team they should beat, but with this team it always seems to be inconsistant. Look great one game and not so the next.
 
4-0 after 5. Have left 2 men on base in 4 of the first 5 innings. Mazzilli seems to be struggling having struke out twice already in game.

Split first 2 games, a win tomorrow would be big. Cross and Moore did a good job pitching today.
 
Looking over season stats and am very happy with the key contributions of the freshman class, specifically the hitting of Siena (.360), Daniello (.288) and Melley (.286). This bodes well not only this year but the future. Also impressed with Ryan Moore's performance. Has a 1 - 0 record and a save. Pitching 8 innings without giving up a run, and 8 k's. Glad he got through the soreness in his shoulder.

Did not play exceptionally well this weekend ,but we got 2 of 3 which is almost always acceptable. Pitching has been overall very good. Just seems like we shoot ourselves in the foot sometimes with the base running decisions. Play a poor Hartford team Tuesday then have 3 against Seton hall. SH is 8 - 12 and lost 2 of 3 at Notre Dame this weekend. All 3 games competitive ( winning 4-3, and losing 2 games by the same 3 -2 score). Pitt and USF are 3 - 0 in BE play ,so we are 1 game behind. Not to be greedy, but even though we are 13 -7 it seems like we have not played our best ball yet.
 
I know it is still early and the RPI is probably still weeks away from given an accurate ranking, but there are some interesting rankings for the BE.

Notre Dame ( 14 - 6 ) RPI of 5
Rutgers ( 8 - 11 ) RPI of 8
UConn ( 13 - 7 ) RPI of 16
UL ( 19 - 4 ) RPI of 53

For what it is worth we play the above 3 teams in the last 3 BE series of the year.

Don't know much about game except that Feehan pitched well. This is a game that is a must win. Not that the win helps you so much, but that a loss is devastating. Off to SH this weekend.
 
This team is confusing. We have beaten ranked Indiana, Sam Houston State (twice), College of Charleston, Ohio State, a really good Troy team, and Texas Tech. TTU and SHSU in particular have accumulated some terrific wins this year. Yet, we cannot beat Purdue (Who Ohio State destroyed three times on the road) and only beat Presbytarian once.

This team has excellent hitting, pitching, AND defense. I honestly believe we should be better than 14-7 right now, but baserunning errors have killed us in literally almost every game we have played this year. Still, I feel we are on track for a regional.
 
Agree with all

Agree with your above statement. It seems to me that we have not played our best baseball as of yet. So being 14 - 7 at this point is pretty good. At this pace we should be a tourney team.

While I am one of those who have voiced my aggravation at the base running adventures, I'm very optimistic at the prospects of this team. The offense is potent and is averaging over 6 runs a game. The offense may be a little inconsistent, but it is also very productive, no matter how we factor in the running mistakes. Even more important, the team ERA after the Hartford game is 2.79. That is really outstanding, a terrific stat. If UConn continues to this type of pitching and the fielding continues to be solid, the Huskies will make the NCAA's.

Tough losing first 2 in SHU series. Need to win tomorrow to get back on track. having cross go makes me optimistic, but we need to start hitting.

Again not able to follow game, but we did get a much needed win. Either the SHU pitchers were much better than I had thought or we are in a hitting slump.
 
Good morning everyone and happy Easter to all. After all the games yesterday our RPI is up to 26 and we are tied for 5th in the BE with a 3-3 record. Looking over the next 12 games, I think we need to go a minimum of 9 - 3. We have 6 NE games ( Fairfied, Quin, Yale, BC, Brown and Northeastern ) . The best team by far of those 6 is Northeastern. Looking for 6 -0, but I would settle for 5 - 1. These are big games for those schools, beating UConn would be a feather in their cap. The 6 games against BE teams are 3 at home vs St. Johns ( 10 - 15 ) and 3 at Villanova (6 - 18 ). Looking for 5 -1 but would settle for 4 - 2.

This is an important stretch for the team. If we go 9 - 3, that would bring our record to 24 - 12 (.667 winning % ) which is my unofficial goal for the team. I am going to add a item to my graph to keep track of the next 12 games.

Seem to still be struggling at the plate. But we did pull out the win.

Horrible loss today. Need to bounce back with a win tomorrow. The little I listened to , they squandered opportunities. In the top of 9th, Daniello gets tagged off at second because he did not call time out before getting off the bag. That is inexcusable. Would have been second and third 1 out, instead it was man on third 2 outs and they don't score. Boy they keep making base-running errors over and over again.

Think it was McDonald not Daniello (think he was @ 3rd) but point on!
