High point is now in a conference that is smaller and stronger on average across the board than the 2019 socon. Bonnies the only true in conference bottom feeder whereas in 2019 they were forced to play Mercer Bellarmine Furman VMI and a Jacksonville team still figuring it out. Also played an 0-13 bonnies to start the season that year on top of that. Odds were stacked against them to get a high RPI that year even with the big wins, and then they went and lost to 4-10 St. Johns too, which is hilarious after just beating future champ UVA.

I would feel a good deal better about it if they didn't have some voluntary RPI drains of their own still on the schedule (at least as of last year) against teams like VMI and (shudder) Detriot Mercy Hampton and Queens. Maybe you want to give the little guys a shot, but that is just bananas to have all three of those and you hope it is a one time thing. But in spite of that games last year agianst GTown Duke UNC along with multiple against St Joes and Richmond due to the conference tourney. Umass a good in conference team as well. Hopefully they drop at least one or two of those major drain teams this year while still scheduling challenging OOC opponents besides us. If so their strength of schedule will be passable.
