IMHO it does when you still have home games against USF and ECU remaining...I know the guys want pay back against ECU on Sr Day.

How does it mean anything in the big picture. We are talking about Tulane, USF and ECU. The fact that we are seeking revenge on ECU tells me the big picture is sad despite 2 meaningless road wins.

Like I said - its better than losing but this program is in a sad place right now. I’m not going to lower the bar like some.

Could we please keep any threads relating to the NCAA Tournament, seeding the post season, RPI and Pomeroy NTR where they belong?

You know if you replace the p with an a you get CUSA.

Cincy / Wichita / Houston = good
USF / ECU = crap
Everyone else = average at best - draw the names out a hat in any order.

We are the 7th best team in CUSA, per KemPom.

Not much difference except perspective.

7-7 in conference, and 17-11 record...with a team of junior college type players.
The only D1 level player they have is Martin

That’s a good way to describe it. We are average, mediocre, like well-oiled Tic Price machine.

Did you watch the games? Didn't realize winning could be so blah. But I love the effort our kids give. Guess that's the perk to having Last-Resort-Recruits.....they're motivated.

We don't really need anymore things about the cusp, especially more threads.

But it didn’t fall.

thought the committee used RPI? 111 and up 25 points over the last week.

I'd love to see Memphis win it's last three games as UConn hasn't looked amazing or anything this season. That said, UConn on the road will still be a tall task.

The RPI rating is often considered a factor in selecting and seeding the final few teams in the tournament field. However, the NCAA selection committee in 2015 said the RPI is only utilized for grouping the teams into groups such as top 50 and top 100 teams, to value the wins and losses, and not as a factor for selection.[2] Additionally, the committee officially considers predictive computer rankings, such as ESPN's BPI, Sagarin, and Pomeroy Ratings, which use additional factors considered by the committee, such as injured players in the case of the BPI.

RPI is used to determine which teams are good but not used for selection...That is some serious circular logic right there.

I knew that would be your response. So in that case fans shouldn't have expectations?
Since I pay my stepchildrens tuition we have every right to an opinion on the university overpaying a coach who is just plain lazy and stubborn. I'm not alone on that thinking. Sorry you don't like it.
