I wasn't kidding when I said all hell was about to break loose. All but three of our opponents played yesterday — and those three play today — and many of them played each other, which means lots of shuffling in RPI WATCH.
But most of them came out on top, as far as we're concerned — except when they played each other, of course.
Unfortunately, the attrition took a toll, as Loyola and IUPUI finally played enough poor opponents to drop below 100 in the RPI and out of the "Solid Wins" category. Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities for the Cats to pick up more of those —starting Tuesday night.
