Games of Importance for UC's Resume

**sedziobs** · 01-23-2018, 02:47 PM

Avoiding 200+ teams at home will do wonders for your RPI. Buffalo has only played two. UC, Michigan St, West Virginia and Texas Tech have all played at least six 200+ home games, which is why our RPIs are much worse than the resumes would indicate.

Buffalo at RPI 28. 89% chance to win.

Mississippi St @ Kentucky
9pm ESPN
Miss St RPI 75, right at the Group 2 cut line. 22% chance to win.

Kenpom predicted Buffalo 82-68. Actual score was 83-69. Buffalo falls one spot to RPI 29.

Miss St loses, RPI falls to 78.

Much like us Buffalo is slated to win all remaining games but 1...and picked to lose by 1 in that game.

I hope they do it. Projected RPI would be 25 or so

Yep. They're projected to stay top 50 even if they lose 4 more games. Looking like a solid Group 1 win.

South Carolina @ Florida
7pm SEC Network
Florida looking like a safe Group 1 loss, at RPI 26. They would need to go 5-7 or worse to drop out of the top 50. 82% chance to win.

Nevada @ Wyoming
11pm ESPNU
Wyoming at RPI 74. Need to finish 7-5 to stay top 100. 24% chance to win.

Any chance to pull what Wyoming's RPI is with a win? Nevada is an at-large team right now, would be REALLY nice to have Wyoming get some pub with a win.

Wyoming would move up to about 53 with a win (depends on other games of course). They would need to finish the season 10-2 to be top 50 for a Group 1 win. RPI forecast says there's a 0.91% chance of that happening.

Xavier plays again today. I don't mention them because (1) they will finish top 75 even if they lose every remaining game and (2) I don't like to talk about them.

Florida lost to South Carolina today. And just like that, back out of the top 25 for them.

Huge win for Wyoming. And a great game! Double OT
