Status Update: RPI - 282 - Not much to say here. There are 351 D1 RPI ranked teams. Milwaukee is the 69th worst team in D1. What makes this worse than it sounds is that Milwaukee has not even played a team in the RPI top 100. Let this sink in a minute...Milwaukee is near the very bottom of the entirety of D1 and have only played teams who will likely not even play in the NIT, much less the NCAA.
One other point of comparison: Milwaukee fired a coach due to "substandard performance" last year. That coach had finished the season with an RPI more than 100 spots higher (175) and had played 4 teams in the RPI top 50, winning 1 of those 4 games.
In summary, Milwaukee has dropped over 100 spots, even though Milwaukee has played a patty cake schedule. Good times, man.....good times. This should REALLY help with recruiting....along with the 10,000 regularly empty seats at the Arena we spent all that money to buy the naming rights of. BRILLIANT!
Conference: 1 - 5 - Last Place - Again, I remind you that Milwaukee fired a coach due to "substandard performance" after finishing 5th in a much more competitive Horizon League that had 5 teams with 20+ wins and one team with 30 wins.
One other thing to consider. Butler, who at one time was Milwaukee's chief rival in the Horizon League and the measuring stick Milwaukee used to gauge its progress as a program, is now in the Big East and the #13 team in the nation. Butler capitalized on two extremely successful seasons and as soon as the opportunity became available, left the Horizon League. Since doing so, their program is now, arguably, on par with Marquette.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee made literally no effort to leave the Horizon League after successive Sweet 16 appearances, with many on the boards and in the AD's office laughing at the mere thought of it, and now has completely imploded.
For those of you who argue that how someone gets hired is irrelevant, I want you to think long and hard about this. While Butler was run by competent, aggressive, and determined leaders willing to take big risks, we hired one "PC compliant" or "Big name retread" after another, until we finally landed perhaps the worst example of a politically correct, quota filling, Social Justice Warrior crony in the history of sports.
A hire I would argue that is equivalent to the Packers hiring Caitlyn Jenner as their new GM after receiving in a threatening phone call from a US Senator hell bent on elevating a certain group of people no matter how unqualified.
