But what's the RPI? 60% chance to host?

As they should. They didn't compete very well this weekend in Columbus.

At the very least, they have to snap out of their offensive funk from this past weekend. I realize the pitching wasn't very good, but their at bats weren't competitive at all against a very pedestrian Ohio State pitching staff.But what's the RPI? 60% chance to host?

Surprised we are still ranked. Getting swept by a below 500 team is bad. Hitting was awful all weekend and Jasa was the only pitcher that showed up.

Hoping coming back home this weekend lights a fire in their performance against the Herkeys.

Cornicator said:Pretty confident 5-2 will still do it. Will be interesting to see how they bounce back. Horrible weekend and no midweek for the first time since near the beginning of the season. Getting a break after two consecutive road series might be what the Dr. ordered. They know playing at home is at stake and no margin for error. Overall, its veteran team but pressure can hard so going to be interesting.I think they have to finish the regular season at least 5-2 in order to host. Might even need to go 6-1.

Let's not worry about that right now, as even though next weekend is at home we have Iowa to worry about. Their ERA is pretty much as attrocious as OSU's and we just eaten got eaten for lunch by a bottom feeder in ERA and Batting Average. The difference is, while Iowa has just as an attrocious ERA their hitting is absolutely legit and will put up way more runs than Ohio St did if the same non hitting and horrid pitching we displayed this last weekend shows up and we'll get swept at home and this is truth.

Also not sure how much true influence RPI has on the committee's seeding decisions. I still have a hard time seeing USC host over many teams (including us) with 0-8 Quad 1 record and being swept by us.5-2 wouldn't do it unless they won a couple games in the Big Ten tourney.
