RPI and schedule strength doesn't mean nearly as much as the fact that Air Force was already one of the worst rebounding teams in the nation (324th) before they lost the MWC's leading scorer and team's leading rebounder in Michael Lyons, while Hawai'i is one of the nations best rebounding team (24th). Not to mention the facts that AF had 72 hours to prepare for Hawai'i,fly 5800 miles, and play a game at what would be 10pm their time. Lyons besides being the teams leading rebounder and scorer is the only Falcon player to average dd scoring and is also second in assists and second in steals.
What the Falcons RPI without Lyons would be is unknown, but that is the only RPI number that would matter (if you choose to cap games by RPI ranking that is).
Good Luck tonight. ![]()
