LAST WEEK: RPI 26
THIS WEEK: RPI 29
When you lose on the road to No. 84 Ole Miss, you gotta do something to stay in the committee’s mind. Turns out that winning a hyped national game, against the nation’s best player, and picking up a third “W” against an RPI Top Ten opponent goes a long way. That much heralded Freshman class came to play, with Collin Sexton outdueling Trae Young, with Herbert Jones emerging, and with John Petty getting the Tide off to a quick start from behind the arc.
