He had not called one that bad all game. I agree we take to many 3rd strikes , but that one? Please
Bummer, but I assume that projection takes into account some mean estimate of other similar RPI teams' performances down the stretch, no?
Matches up fairly well with Boyd’s top 32 thresholds, and not really surprising when you have 8 potential bad losses and 3 potential good wins.
He caveats that there’s a lot of room for movement, but it’s proven a decent rough guide over the years. It feels like 10-1 leaves you in a good spot to host and 9-2 puts you in a spot to host with some yet unknown good wins in the ACC tournament. That doesn’t leave much margin for Rosario to Rosario.
And honestly, if we lose 4 of the last 11 w 7 home games against the likes of Presby, FIU, Pitt and Duke, we'll be lucky to be a 2 seed.
The need for a sweep at Pitt is to improve the RPI. Losing just 1 game at Pitt and we'll drop 4 points because of their weak RPI. I can't remember who it was ( maybe ND) that won the series against Pitt 2-1, but dropped in the RPI.
If we win our next three series, we will have a national seed.
In my opinion, we need 2 series sweeps and a series win against Duke to get there. In 2-1 series wins against Q3 and Q4 teams, the RPI will still drop 2-4 places.
I also believe 1 win against WF and we'd have a top 10 RPI.
This is exactly why we'll have a national seed if we win the next three series. That's all there is to it.I also believe 1 win against WF and we'd have a top 10 RPI.
Look at Coastal Carolina #9 and Indiana St. #10. I just don't understand the RPI.

Coastal is 8-6 in Q1. Their biggest wins are 1 win each against WF and UNC. They however have 5 Q2 losses, 3 Q3 losses, and 1 Q4 loss. A good team, but really a top 10 RPI? There must be a lot of weight for their WF win.
Indiana St. At #10 RPI just makes me scratch my head. They are just 2-9 against Q1 opponents. How doest that get you a top 10 RPI?
This morning’s Needs Report is a little better still. It now says we can lose a combination of any two games vs either one home game or two road games to finish in the top 16.
