Every team in the nation has multiple "bad losses" this season besides maybe 1-3 teams....Plus those two losses were without 2 players which with Power conf. teams they give them a benefit of the doubt, for us probably not but its an angle to play....Either or we need to worry about ourselves taking care of business on what we control....We win every game rest of the season and tournament we don't have to worry about it, if we lose 1 or 2 games along the way we will be sweating regardless what Ohio, Missouri St, Austin Peay, etc does....Remember RPI is just one metric used, no telling what they actually use in that room...I am sure it varies depending on what conference you are from and the politics of the day...

They will not give your situation without the 2 players another thought.

Now, a Privileged Conference team will get to use any "injury" for a bad loss as an excuse. I've seen it happen time and time again, while a damn good Non-Privileged team gets left out of the Dance.
