UCONN needs OT to Defeat USF at Home

Yeah, but on the other hand CofC beat UT by 13 in Knoxville last night. I'm not saying that to diminish the Rams or anything they have done this year. Unlike a lot of posters on this board I'm firmly confident in Shaka Smart's ability to fine tune this team. We are going to be fine. There is a lot to be excited about this team and this season.
 
They may not stink, but they are hardly a post-season quality team either. They have a losing record and have not started Big East play.
 
Meh, close losses don't help our cause...sure wish they had pulled out the win. Good losses are for odu!

When did UConn leave the Big East?

Simply playing Big East teams helps us in the end.

While we were idle over the weekend our RPI improved. We are now at 71. It has steadily moved up over the last week not because of our wins (getting 0.6 wins against average teams does not help us), but because the teams we have played have been playing better teams. So it will be with USF. Don't have the exact numbers in front of me, but the other day I made a post about their next few games (including the UCONN game). The combined record of the teams was something like 56-6. That goes directly to our OOWP for RPI. If you look at the teams we have played, and if they play at the pace they should. we will see a lot of improvement in our SOS by the end of the year. Just wait and see.

Let's hope we can plug the holes before the ship sinks...

How did it predict us at 12-6 when it only shows 4 losses? Is their math screwy or did you total up the record numbers?

It assumes that we will lose a couple more but can't predict which ones. Games that we shouldn't lose for example. They explain that on the site somewhere. That is why the projections don't always add up.
 
look at our home game v odu it shows a 51% chance of us winning. I assume the model takes the close ones and factors in some reality
