HUNTINGTON – The RPI does not lie.

After Marshall’s 71-59 Henderson Center loss Saturday night to Memphis, the follow story I wrote included the revelation that Coach Tom Herrion’s team had played more games against RPI top 100 teams than anyone in Conference USA.

The number was 10 postgame, and now it’s 11, as UTEP climbed back into the top 100 early Sunday with its Saturday night whipping of the Herd’s next foe – UCF on Wednesday night in Orlando.

That game against Coach Donnie Jones’ Knights will be Marshall’s 12th against a top 100 team in the Ratings Percentage Index that is one of about a dozen tools used in selecting and seeding the NCAA Tournament bracket.

I don't care who joins C-USA; I just want out of the conference and to find a way to move with our recent conference mates.
