The 9-3 Shockers hit the road this weekend, beginning with a match against Rice on Friday at 6 pm. The Owls are currently 10-2 in the AAC, tied for first with South Florida. As noted elsewhere, the #1 OH for Rice is out with a hernia and their DS/L is in concussion protocol. Maybe one or both are available this weekend, perhaps neither. We will only know at game time.

AAC
Rice, Wichita State, and South Florida are in the at-large hunt. 8-team conference tournament, hosted by Wichita State. It looks like only one team will have an unfavorable RPI matchup in the first round of the tournament. All in all - I could see the conference tournament pulling in a second team.
Rice plays Wichita State this week (Rice won the first round). South Florida beat Rice and Wichita State already. South Florida also has H2H wins against Florida and Ohio State. However, South Florida has some sketchy losses: UCSB, Florida Atlantic, and 256 UTSA
RPI-KPI Comparison
Teams that KPI ranks BETTER than RPI:
No AAC teams
Teams that KPI ranks WORSE than RPI:
Wichita State (-32) .. Easily the largest difference of teams that might make the Tournament.
...
Rice (-7)
Me: KPI is a number that the Committee may look at? I think so. If used, it has only been within the last couple of years. KPI=Key Performance IndicatorsLast edited by flyingMoose; 7 hours ago.
