do a whole lot to impress anyone, and lots of teams in contention have those kind of wins.

It's not so much top 50 or top 60 or top 75, but how you play against tournament-like competition. And top 50 is usually just a way of trying to organize who those quality teams may be.

So, top 75 doesn't mean as much when 3 of those teams aren't in contention for a NCAA berth - Stanford, Umass, St. Mary's (unless Stanford can make a run, which i'm crossing my fingers for), and all of them at home. They are "good wins", but not "great" or "quality".

When you only have one win over any team that will actually be in the field it hurts.

Last year is a bit different as we had 3 wins over NCAA teams, and 1 on the road (stanford), one neutral (Texas) and one at home (gonzaga).

While the win @ Gonzaga this year is better than any of those wins last year, Having 3 wins over teams that would be in the field really helped us.

While RPI isn't the only metric used like previous years, it is still widely used and emphasized when looking at quality wins/losses etc. according to the experts, and those who have been to mock selections.
