than take a couple of buy games to improve his strength of schedule. He scheduled 5 top 150 RPI non-conference games and lost 3 of those.

It appears that he has trouble getting the big boys to play him.

I sympathize with him. 27-6 with any schedule is tough. I'd rather watch them play in the tourney versus a KState or Wake Forest or Vandy. Thank God Syracuse didn't get in, or I'd add them here too.

Yeah.
33rd in RPI. Lost only 1 conference game.
And they struggle to get home-n-homes with big conference teams due to them not being terrible...and are then effectively penalized for not being able to get big conference teams to play.

I see that OM and AK agreed to play them next year because of the coach's tweets.

Top 35 rpi and they are left out. Tough to improve when others want to avoid you because of a potential loss.

He's got a point. But you simply can't hold out for home & home in his situation.
