Think the selection committee has pretty much said if you cancel low RPI midweek games late in the season you will be punished.

I think we need 3 more SEC wins counting the tournament, plus of course UNA. And I think we’ll get it done.
Teams did it last year after they said it, and nobody was punished. We need to cancel it. Whether we use rain as an excuse or not.

It won’t matter if we do. Effect on RPI will be pretty minimal. Really only hurts if we lose it. And we won’t lose it.

I wonder how many years in advance we have games like this already booked. Need to quit scheduling these teams for midweek. We could do a 3 game series spread over 3 weeks with USM or Samford or LA Tech or somebody and quit scheduling SWAC teams too

Simple common sense solution would be for NCAA to rule that your 3 lowest RPI wins will be dropped from the RPI calculations. This would alleviate some of the motivation to cancel these games. Of course another common sense solution would be to just not schedule them in the first place. We sure didn't care about RPI when we were playing Manhattan or Queens.

At least we did not schedule all 5 burroughs with Brooklyn, Staten Island and the Bronx.
