Alabama AM - 5/14

They have a stout 5-33 record and a 293 RPI ranking.

Not sure why we would do this, other than trying to raise our W-L total.

Since they waited until the last possible second to schedule it, I'm guessing they literally couldn't find anyone else.

Hey, I apologize about the mistake. It's supposed to be Alabama A&M. It's corrected on our website now.
Sincerely,

Exciting mid-week matchup.

because austin deaf and blind, huston-tillotson, and concordia were booked up.

I think all the small schools in the area will be done for the semester after this weekend.

Last minute scheduling is not easy, you had to know it was going to be a scrub team. It helps the W/L but hurst SOS and RPI.

 

[Barton Hills]

We win this series vs Baylor and we're in the Tourney. Forget RPI. Just get us a tune-up for A&M.

The alternative is playing Sunday, then having 12 days off before the Aggies come to town. Not a good scenario.

 

[Austin Orange]

I think intra-squad scrimmage with our own team would be a better tune-up.

I am all for winning the rest of our games, but the admin needs to do their part, too. If you know RPI is going to come into play, don't schedule the lowest ranking team in D-1 to fill a gap. A double-header no less. Heaven forbid if we lose one of them.

Would be a shame if this DH costs us an in or even seeding differences.
