Thursday, 2/28 games that impact our RPI:
Hartford (15-12, 8-6) hosts UMBC (6-21, 4-10) at 5pm. This wouldn't be the type of win that will improve Hartford's RPI, but every win helps us. 50% of the RPI calculation is the record of opponents versus D1 competition.
Wofford (12-17, 6-10) is at Charleston (20-9, 12-4) at 5:30pm ESPN3. Stranger things have happened than a Wofford win here. Longshot, though.
Murray State (20-7, 10-4) hosts Tennessee-Martin (8-19, 4-10) at 6pm. Murray State should win and needs to in order to stay in the Top 100.
Northern Arizona (10-17, 7-9) hosts Idaho State (5-21, 4-12) at 6:35pm. Lumberjacks should get this one.
Texas Southern (15-14, 14-2) hosts Southern (20-8, 14-2) at 7pm. This game will decide the SWAC regular season champ. Southern won their first matchup on Jan 2 (at Southern) 63-57. TXS has won 14 of 15 since then.
Pac-12
Utah (11-15, 3-11) @ Cal (18-9, 10-5) at 7pm on ESPNU. Utes could help us in the standings here, but I don't give it much chance. Cal won 62-57 when they played in SLC.
Oregon State (13-15, 3-12) @ Oregon (22-6, 11-4) at 9pm on ESPNU. OSU win could potentially help us. Rivalry game. Beavs have enough talent to pull the upset. Ducks won 79-66 in Corvalis earlier this year.
