George Mason has a record of 2-5 and is currently 294th in RPI. Their two wins were at Home and consist of a 3-point victory over Princeton and a 1-point victory over Manhattan.

Re: Up Next: George Mason

In my opinion this is a must win game if there ever was one, a loss will kill our RPI later on.

So if we lose this game we will be eliminated from any post season play? This is not a Must Win game. It is a game that we need to win if we want to not have a "Bad Loss" on our resume. The term must win is used way too much on this board. The only must win game being played this weekend is being played by the Football team.

Eh, Call it whatever you want its essentially a must win game.

Unless we plan on running the table and going undefeated through the rest of the regular season after Saturday's game, then it is essentially a must win game if we want to have any shot at an at-large berth.

I wouldn't go that far, they're still an A10 team and their RPI will improve as the season goes on. Still, we obviously should win this game and it will be very disappointing if we don't.

Re: Up Next: George Mason

A win will also hurt our RPI quite a bit, just not as much as a loss. When the game was scheduled I'm sure GM was anticipated to be much better. We're not like Iowa, we don't schedule a bunch of teams this bad on purpose.

Re: Up Next: George Mason

Has anyone ever thrown out the idea of a MVC A10 challenge, heck we are already playing 3 A10 teams, and I know that others are, why not get something official as well? I would have to think NBCSN or CBS Sports would pick it up

[panther-state]

Re: Up Next: George Mason

I don't know why the A10 would ever subscribe to the idea of facing (what have recently been) perennial RPI-killers like Bradley, Drake, SIU, etc... The A10 has a few as well but Even this year, I'd say half of our conference is going to be an RPI drag. I'm hoping we can get 4-5 in the Top 150. A respectable conference should have about 5 in the Top 100. At least.

Re: Up Next: George Mason

I honestly think by the end of the year us, Wichita, and Illinois State should be top 100 teams and Missouri State and Evansville have a chance to be close

This seems like a good idea, but that would potentially limit UNI's annual exposure to the A10 to just one opponent. Where we would go to get other quality non-con opponents for the rest of our non-con schedule?

Mason was up 17 on Princeton and barely hung on, and the Manhattan win was because we hit a 75-foot prayer at the buzzer. That's how narrowly we've avoided going 0-7. So long as UNI shows up to play, you should win easily.

The only good news for your RPI is that Mason plays a reasonably tough schedule this year, so you will get some credit for that, even if we continue to get shredded.
