Holy Toledo, it’s Friday already and I haven’t gotten this post done this week. I’m staying with figstats rpi even tho the NCAA is out.
Dayton - 55-19-112-40-14-18-28. Good news even with the loss to VCU we stayed out of the 30s. Plus 7 teams on our schedule are top 50 and we are 2-4 against those with Cincy left to play and Colllege of Charleston knocking on the door at #56. We have a chance to be 4-4 against Top 50.
Marshall - 193-246-204-135-178-193-194
Ball State - 120-78-212-198-148-162-131. Nice jump up.

We need to not only go 2-0 this weekend, but sweep both these teams with ease. A win is a win for rpi. But two sweeps sends a statement that we will challenge VCU. Plus set wins factor into seeds at A10 tournament time for tie breakers and we have already dropped sets we should have won. It’s time for the team to start looking at the bigger picture of what needs to be done in these A10 matches. Plus if we don’t show up mentally, either of these teams can beat us.
