The Rutgers Defense

[BillyC80]

SFA's non RU schedule is brutal.

UNC Central #337 2-6
Niagara #322 1-5
Drexel #285 4-4
Ark State #290 5-2

2 non D1 teams which don't count in ratings

When you add Rutgers and Duke to that list, what’s their average opponent rating for those 6 games compared to our 7 games?

Thanks, 22.4 seems impressive, even though I have no idea what that number represents. PS I was asking just for the Duke game.

The number are points per 100 possessions.

100 would score 1 point per possession versus average D1 team. 70 possessions = 70 points.

Give him some time, he needs to come up with another useless stat to refute it.

For now SFA has an rpi of 29. Yes it’s early...but it’s a metic to watch if the are a ncaa type team

Thanks Shack. There was a time when RPI was talked about a lot more. If SFA wins at Alabama, there will be more believers, and our win against them will look a bit better.

I'm sure SFA wants us to do well, too. If we end up being just one of a few losses, it will look better on their resume if we can knock off some other programs.
