We got it. Do you have to post this in every thread?
Also Cincinnati split with 4 of those 7 ball sucking teams.
UCONN beat Cincinnati 2 out of 3.

Obviously we may still be on opposite sides of how far back you look being relevant. In that case I see no reason for you to expect things to get better for UCF ECU and USF.
RPIs from past 2 seasons:
UCF: 256, 218
ECU: 220, 227
USF: 273, 230
If, like me, you agree that given a long enough period of time teams will return to their average, then you can expect significant improvement from all 3. Not necessarily next season but in the near future. In the cases of UCF and USF who posted their worst RPI marks in the 2014-15 season you can almost guarantee some level of improvement immediately.
Avg RPI over past 6 seasons:
UCF: 148
ECU: 174
USF: 156
Sometimes I wonder (maybe others do as well) is do you even pay attention to what you even write in your long diatribes?
Anyone that has followed UCF even remotely realizes that they have suffered greatly over the last 2-3 years do to probation/recruiting/scholarship sanctions...but PRIOR to the probation years, UCF had a somewhat respectable RPI for being in a normal 1 bid league without much history/tradition to go on.
UCF RPI's in other years:
2012-2013: 103 RPI
2011-2012: 54
2010-2011: 69
When at full strength and obviously not on probation and dealing with sanctions, it seems UCF could become a pretty good respectable hoop program once again...and while it might take 2-3 years to get back there...I think because UCF has done it before, they can easily do it again, once back at full strength.
I get pretty long winded and don't blame people if they don't want to read the whole thing, but I like backing up my opinions.
That's find and dandy...but maybe next time, don't write about things you don't know about (i.e. like UCF's recent past...when they averaged a pretty decent RPI of 75 from 2010-2013), yet you say there is no reason to expect UCF to get better (from their current probationary/recruiting/scholarship sanction state).
Seriously? Do you even bother to read? That was referring to another poster who said that the last two years are a better indication than the last 6. MY argument was that the last 6 years were a better indication and the UCF, USF, and ECU would all be better than they have been the past 2 years on an average year.
I have highlighted the parts of the same exact post that shows that I am not hating on UCF, and in fact expect improvement to their 2010-13 status which I mentioned several times now in this thread. Got it?

^^^ That is the post I was replying to. That is why HE might not believe that us bottom teams will improve because HE thinks the last two years are more indicative of where a team will remain.
If you had continued reading you would have realized that I had a different opinion and believe that UCF (and ECU and USF and Houston) will improve back to their more average years. Which for UCF was much better than either of their last two years.

Basically sums it up. Next year should be solid.
