RMU is currently ranked No. 282 in the KenPom rankings. They've played four top 75 teams, all losses. Beat Geneva and Howard, both far worse than RMU (and Geneva is a D3 team).
The two questionable losses - Marshall and UIC - are both ahead of RMU right now, but probably should have been wins.
That makes this next stretch big. RMU faces Cleveland State (323rd) tonight, YSU (253) on Wednesday, and FGCU (296) next Saturday. Those are all games RMU should win if it expects to be a contender in the NEC. It wraps up the non-conference schedule against tougher games versus CMU (171) and UNLV (172), but both of those are winnable games.
Time for RMU to show us what it's made of before the NEC schedule kicks in after the first of the year.
