Real Time RPI sitting mid-70s.
It makes sense that Ohio is among the first 8 left out of a 68 team tournament.
That's not to say I harbor real hope of the Bobcats playing their way up into an at large.
But there are multiple teams with much lower RPIs included in the field based on conference representation, so apparently there is something Lunardi sees in the Ohio resume that lifts the Bobcats past several other teams ranked higher in RPI. Still, you're right that at this point, an at-large isn't very realistic unless the team basically wins out until the MAC finals or something.
