If we win out OOC we're at 9-4. Go 10-8 say by sweeping Depaul and St. John's getting swept by Nova and splitting with everyone else we'd end up with an RPI of 40. That's a tournament team.
Even if we lost @ cuse and did the rest the same we'd be 18-13 and have and RPI of 50. Go 1-1 in NYC our RPI would be in the 40s and we'd likely be in at 19-14.
We technically have no bad losses from an RPI stand point as Arkansas St is projected to have an RPI of 77. Already have a good RPI win over Oregon. We're not out of it yet, but it will take continued improvement.
I think your 18-13 scenario would be probably get them in..... But, that's going to be easier said than done getting splits with Xavier, Butler, Creighton, Seton Hall, Providence, and Marquette. Also, if those were all at home, I don't know if the RPI gets high enough there- but also maybe only 1 quality win away from home.
