However, their remaining non-con schedule doesn't provide too many more opportunities for wins. They play Youngstown State this weekend at Virginia. GM really needs that one, but Duquesne couldn't win against Youngstown State in Pittsburgh.
GM with only 6 wins finished with a 276 RPI at the end of 2017.

Great info and good news for the conference. There are going to be two teams in the +250 range and strong scheduling should hold the top teams. UD, VCU and SLU have strong OOC schedules so even with losses these teams will help hold up rpis and any wins in the top 100 will help everyone.
