I had past reservations about a 'murderers row" schedule but Cuse was  9-3 against it up to  the UNC letdown ( a rematch which was extraneous  to most of us until it wasn't  ) and even that strong record and  rpi barely got us into playoffs.

Desko seems to understand how that convoluted formula works  but yes it would be healthy for players to get a mental and physical rest at certain intervals as does some other top tier d1.

Adding a couple of games vs a Bonnies, Bing,  Sienna  or Mercer type would allow some reserves opportunities to play and perhaps afford a few starters chance to rest their bumps and bruises as some played through.

Like the idea of away at Jacksonville but that would be a trap game and we have seen the damages of  losing to a unranked team ie Colgate that is sky high for us  while winning that game seemingly would not matter much to rpi . Seems gotta measure risk reward of every game and what purpose it serves beyond finding a reason to go to Florida. Lol

Do hope that we renegotiate away games with both Rutgers and Navy but if not then wouldn't mind scheduling a Loyola and BU. Also wouldn't mind  dropping  Colgate ( which I know wont happen ) and then adding tow softies even if one has to be mid week.
