Much needed. Especially when we're normally hoping to be a bubble team...we need our RPI and SOS to be higher than it bas been in the past.

I wouldn't even care if we were 8-5 going into league play.
A) it looks better than being 12-1 with 0-1 top 100 rpi wins vs likely 1-3 top 50 wins
B) it'll have us prepared against league teams. We can't shite the bed next year against bottom feeders. I wanna see us get to the point where we are elite. A team in the bottom half means automatic 10 point win.

As it stands today, I feel like every single league game this year will be tough. Many games a coin flip. Just a few plays may be the difference between 13-5 and 9-9.
