Bill, are you saying that SJU won the BE title twice this century? I don't remember that. Also, don't remember a lot of other stuff.

Also the 08-09 season is skewing our RPI average a ton. If we land somewhere in the 75-80 RPI range this year then heading into next season our 5 year average would be around 74 and would be significantly better than all of the others.

In the latest study I can find (2012-13) here our numbers of interest.....
Denver has the highest Home Court Advantage...They get a whopping 10.9 points a game, followed by Northern Arizona at 10.2...Our highest opponent is George Mason at 7.2...Marist is the highest in the MAAC 5.5 followed by Canisius and Niagara in the high 4s...Other local teams Fordham 5.4 and St.John's at 4.9...Then as I suspected found Iona at .07...There are aprox. 20 teams that actually lose points even though at home...Our former MAAC member Loyola, and if I remember right Rider were in that category...The study also had a foot note which showed that generally teams with the newest facilities gained a Home Advantage.....I suspect that these numbers are useful to those that set the spread, but that there are many other factors entered into the equation.....
With the good news that Williams is O.K., I make it a pick-em game.....

Thought about dropping the highest RPI for each team, but went with the full five instead. |
