Manhattan got a 13 last year with a similar RPI and no great wins. If we get the RPI closer to 50, we could get a 12. I extremely doubt that. 13-15 seems more appropriate

Not with a 50 RPI. No way in hell.

50 RPI likely equals 13, but with no top 100 wins it will be no better and we can lose just 1 game to get to 50. keep in mind we seem to have a tendency to get screwed with seeds, we were an at large and still somehow were a 14 seed. In fact we have never had a better than expected seed, always worse, every single time we have made it.

All this early seed/RPI talk (which I know some of you despise) made me think of why we possibly agreed to move the Niagara game. A home game against Niagara hurts our RPI about 10 points just by playing it, but a neutral game won't hurt nearly as much. The Marist home game will cost us 20 points even with a win. The only way to maintain our RPI in this bad MAAC year is to keep winning, which is much different than the past 5 years. I am not sure Cluess cares this much about raising our RPI to move the Niagara game, but regardless the move could steal about 5 points in RPI, and you never know but bump us up a seed to an easier game.
