When people talk about east coast bias, this is what they’re talking about.

If there was an American East/Big West Challenge, I think the latter would win.

82-70 loss to Albany.

This is where Hawaii can pick up votes.

Hawaii’s RPI doesn’t even guarantee themselves a NIT at-large bid.

If Hawaii loses to CS-Northridge, they can drop back to the low-hundreds.

Ganot should have kept that Vegas trip on the schedule. But in his defense, I don’t think he thought the team would be in this situation.

Hawaii got a nice boost the last time they played UC-Irvine because the Anteaters’ RPI was in the high-forties. This time, depressingly, they’re listed at #73.

No fourteen spot boost this time should Hawaii prevail with a W.

Hawaii is EXACTLY like Stephen F. Austin from last season. Despite a gaudy record, they literally have to win every game to make the field of 68.

And thanks a lot Northern Iowa.

Losing at Loyola-Chicago is BRUTAL.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THEM?

If the Panthers were 21-7 instead of 16-12, I think Hawaii would be a lock for a NIT at-large bid, at the very least.
