A Real Time RPI of 77 this late in the season is quite impressive. Of their six losses, I’m sure no one will fault them for losing, on the road, to Villanova (RPI 41) and Syracuse (RPI 50). Does anyone know of a better RPI being posted by a ladies team out of the PL with only two weeks to go in regular season play?
The gals are quietly becoming the story of the year in basketball as the men slip further and further down the standings. With four games remaining on their schedule, there’s a real chance (see records and ratings below) they can finish 23-6 (12-2 in PL) before the playoffs begin. Best yet, LU will host Rounds 1 and 2 of the Playoffs beginning Saturday, March 7th. Three wins there and it’s off to the NCAAs. Dream on, Ladies. This could be your year.
