SELA did not hurt your RPI at all. Win or lose.

Yeah it did. They were home games. Generally speaking, all home losses hurt and then some away games can be accretive if the opponent's winning percentage is great (like USM 2017 level).

But losing 2 of 3 to Southeast Louisiana and Pepperdine, and losing the first five midweek games killed the RPI. ODU's 3 wins over Rice would have meant a lot more if Rice's RPI had ended up in the 20's. We were pitching some guys early in the year who didn't get the ball at the end of the year (and we also made two lineup changes which helped the hitting).
Actually, three lineup changes: Gray returned to 2B (which helped our D as well) after missing the first 15 games, Dunlap was inserted as the everyday DH early May, and both Warren and Wunderlich-- struggling with season-long slumps-- were moved from the top to the bottom of the lineup.

Rice's coach has not announced his retirement or anything, has he ? Love that guy.
