The Utah game will drop our RPI from .616346 to about .61499 (thanks a lot Utah. we lose even by beating you). Obviously it will change due to other teams we play and Utah has played also playing on Saturday, but that gives you the relative change of the Utah game.

Today, that would drop us one spot. But other teams winning and losing and SOS changing on Saturday will have more of an effect on our movement than the Utah game add.

Welcome to our world, we had to deal with several years of beating you dropping our RPI.

Don't worry Gregg Marshall shall bring us back.

Head coach of Winthrop and the man who should be the head coach of the Utes starting next season.

He has taken Winthrop to the NCAA tourny 6 out of the last 8 years.
Winthrop will get an at-large bid this year from the Big South if they don't win the conference tournament.
His teams play great defense: Winthrop allows around 60 ppg and allows the opponent to shoot only 40%

He should be the guy for the Utes new head coach.

I think Wojo would be a great hire, but I really don't see him at Utah. I think he suffers from the Duke mentality that any team not in a big name conference is beneath him.
