Yesterday was a good day for our RPI. The only OOC opponents that lost were 'Bama, Nicholls [2 losses] and St. Thomas [2 losses]. Since we played 'Bama twice, we got 2 losses there, so 6 losses total. Wins by LSU, Texas, Tulsa, Lipscomb, Indiana, UNT, Tech, UAB and McNeese [2 wins] gave us a nice boost: 16 wins, including 3 for Texas 2 for LSU and UAB and 4 for McNeese. If we get similar results the next two days and sweep ULM, we may improve our raw RPI score enough to move up into the top 30 RPI. [We are currently at 32]
For RPI purposes there were 131 games added to our Opponents' record this weekend. Of these 76 were wins and 55 were losses. I think it is safe to assume that our raw RPI improved at least a little as a result of games this weekend. One can hope that it improved enough to bump us up a rank or two from the 32 we were at as of May 5th.
Unfortunately, I do not believe that either Texas State or UNT could have improved enough to get into the top 50 RPI from their May 5th rankings of 57 and 55, but anything is possible.
UNT Did sneak into the top 50, which enhances our visuals.
