so how big of a win was this for us?



2 road wins, one against a terrible team, and the other against a pretty good team.

Both wins were huge. Both for RPI and more so for team confidence. We won two very close games away from the Marriott Center and that bodes well for us. To win ugly is much better than losing ugly (no one goes undefeated on college hoops anymore)



USF plays a tough SOS and will be in the top 70-100 RPI by seasons end; Saint Marys is very much like Utah State and has a chance to roll through their conference and will be a tournament team IF they don't get tripped up by any bottom feeders in their conf. (they had a #20 RPI before the game tonight and play at SDSU on wednesday... then will be favored in every game they have left aside from @ Gonzaga)



It's a quality win that will look good come selection time. More importantly, they're on the road and the selection committee looks at non-con non-home games very closely.
