I never bashed the schedule of this year. I stated that because at the time their RPI was in the 70's they would have to win 3 out of the last 4 games and 2 games in the Big East Tourney to get in the NCAA. They did exactly what I stated they needed to do and got in the NCAA.
UC's NCAA tourney chances will always be decided by how they do in the Big East, not who they play in non conference. Seton Hall prime example this season, great non conference RPI and SOS, faltered in the Big East, went to the NIT.
