I dont have a specific game to add here, but we need to pull hard for temple the rest of the way. They're at 34 in rpi, if we could get 2 group 1 wins out of them it would be great.


and they have the schedule to get there. @ Wichita state, houston, ucf, at uconn, at tulsa.

Miss St is on a nice little 5 game run.

Gets tougher for them though in the next few games, would love to see them finish the last few games with a winning record

rpiforecast says they need to go 6-1 to finish in the top 30. Of course, that's before any conference tournament games, so they could potentially get there with a couple losses.

are they likely to do it, of course not, but i never dreamed they'd win at smu or beat wichita state at home.

but man im envious of some of their wins this year.

I just pencilled them in to losing @WSU on RPI forecast but winning ECU, @South Florida, Houston, UCF, @uconn, @tulsa

that would leave them with an RPI of 28

FYI - You don't have to actually go through that process. rpiforecast tells you the expected RPI for each record. The way the RPI works, it doesn't matter which game they lose. Going 6-1 in any combination will get them to 28 or so.

The weird thing is...the way our schedules are back loaded we still have our biggest games in front of us. Some of the middle teams have played some of their harder games already. Houston has already played UC and WSU 3 times total. Temple has played us twice already and WSU once.

We have 4 remaining games with WSU, Houston, and SMU and 3 are on the road.
