For the life of me, I don't understand why we continue to schedule RPI killers like Alcorn (344), McNeese (297) or Hartford (203). Also wish we could get a home/home with the likes of UAB/Memphis/SMU/MTSU to really boost our scheduling. I know that you have to play cupcakes but some of these that we pick are just atrocious.

There is a new formula so it will be interesting to see how teams like this impact it

We did not schedule Hartford ourselves. That game is one of the preliminary games for the Las Vegas tourney we are playing in.

You have to play a couple of cupcakes just to fill out your schedule. But if you’re gonna complain about the few we do have scheduled, at least recognize that our overall schedule is greatly improved this year. We play three teams that had an RPI over 200 last year, as compared to last season when played eight, including five with an RPI over 300.

yeah last year we played a DII team in North Georgia. This year's schedule is a lot better.

Trust me I know it's improved, but I'm just suggesting a way to better it.
