2015-2016 RPI

I know it is a bit early to be discussing this, after all, we are all on top of a mountain after winning the conference tournament this year - but what do our coaches and AD need to do to get our RPI up next year?

I've heard it is tough to get teams to Laramie, but hell, Fort Collins is only an hour away. Their RPI is pretty high this year.

Does Wyoming and CSU need to do a Tournament in Denver in December to get a bunch of teams in that we could play that have a higher RPI?

Do we need to go out on the road and travel so more and play teams with a tougher RPI?

We are in a good place right now. But our SOS almost killed us this year. If mono hadn't ran rampid among our team, we might be looking at a whole different situation right now.

I've got a million dumb ideas - see the above - get the front range down in Denver for a tournament. Bring in CSU, AF, and WYO. Try to get teams that wouldn't travel to any of those places (CSU, AF, WYO) to Denver.

Bring back the Wyo Shootout - its a big airport and easy to get too. It is a neutral court but still a hostile venue

What else can we do?
 
Wyo winning the MWC Tourney just made us look more appealing to play. A couple wins this week and we shouldn't struggle too bad to get some teams. Become the ultimate Cinderella and we might have some big games. I'm not saying we are getting Kansas to come to Laramie but we might be able to go to a couple big name teams.
It's just about winning until we are respected. Once respected, the big teams won't be afraid to lose to us.
Think about it... 10 years ago a loss to Butler would be very bad. Lose to Butler now and people say "So what? It's Butler."

I wish I could find it now - but I think I left it bookmarked somewhere else. The bookmark was historical RPI data. It showed the 1987 bball team with a very low RPI - like 10 or something. The 1988 at like 60. It was all over the place compared to our record for many many years.

I'll try to find it and present it. The data itself was interesting. Sucks that half our fans almost had heart attacks yesterday. Awesome that all of our fans had heart attacks yesterday!
