Geno would have to win out to break the record this year, but wouldn't be amazing if Tara could break it in the NCAA tourney? Against some good competition?
And hoping Geno finds the Ducks, Gamecocks, and maybe even one other team a bit much.
As I updated, I looked at who they had played - Stanford with three wins at RPI #16 OSU, and against #97 Utah and #43 Colorado at home. UConn with the aforementioned win over the #51 Vols, but then two, ahem, great wins against #216 Tulsa and #271 (!) East Carolina.
Sorry, as a CT expat, I have to deal with a bit too much Geno worship <grin>. Sometimes I overreact. But every team in the Pac-12 is ranked higher than the middle of the AAC (#11 in Pac-12 UW is RPI 107; #12 is Cal at 127; in the AAC, #6 Tulane is #125, # 7 Memphis is 160). If the Huskies lose either of the two marquee games, I think they're out of the running for a 1 seed. If they lose both, they might be a 3.
A consummation devoutly to be wished.

I wish I understood RPI better. How can UConn be 7 in RPI when it plays so many patsies?
Strength of schedule is:
1 Virginia
2 South Carolina
3 Indiana
4 Maryland
5 Oregon
6 Oregon State
7 Ohio State
8 Baylor
9 Stanford
10 Duke
11 Iowa
12 UConn
