OSU is getting a benefit with respect to the RPI with the success UMass and BU have had since early in the season. Not quite the cupcake schedule it appeared to be in February.

RPI is silly in lacrosse. The sample size is too small.

If we beat PSU our RPI would go up a lot and we get into the BIG tournament

We’re already in the B1G tournament. A win Saturday and a win over Maryland or State Penn in the semis gets you in striking distance of the NCAA bubble. A tall order but not impossible.

That scenario would make us a lock.

That would give us 3 top 10 wins. There aren’t many teams that could claim that, if any.

There are 13 teams with at least three top 10 wins.

Sorry meant top 5. Looks like 4. That’s more than I would have thought.

RU played #1 PSU ... if RU beat PSU #1 and UMD #2 would our RPI jump to 21?
