[QUOTE="gtbeak, post: 943328, member: 3164"] What is killing our RPI is the fact that we played Miami (Oh), Tennessee Tech, and Long Island, all at home. All three of those teams have proven to be pretty bad, and 7 games against sub 200 RPI teams is a pretty big amount. Still, our SoS continues improving, we are up to 51 in that regard. Only 5 schools (Kentucky, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, and Florida) have more RPI top-50 wins than our total of 9. Winning one of those close games on the road against Louisville or BC would have helped a bunch. That said, there is still room for improvement since the other teams ahead of us are also still playing, so their RPI numbers will be fluctuating, hopefully downward. Win 2 of 3 this weekend and we will move into the 50's. I know that will be tough, but it is in our reach at least. If we could somehow go 2-4 against Miami & Virginia that would move us up also. I wish we didn't have to play Pittsburgh...we really need a sweep in that series. The Duke series being on the road will help if we can play well there. At least Gardner-Webb isn't a dumpster fire, so that series will hurt some but not too much. We need to win at least 3 of 4 of the remaining mid-week games. TL;DR (I'm sorry)... go 3-3 against Virginia Tech and Duke, 2-4 against Miami & Virginia, take 5 of 6 against Pitt & GW, and 3 of 4 in the mid-week gets us to 15-15 in ACC, 33-22 overall. Then would probably need one game in the ACC tourney, but that should be sufficient, I suspect. We need for Florida St, Ole Miss, and Rutgers to continue losing their conference games to get or stay below .500 overall. [/QUOTE]
