The rest of their remaining schedule will drag them down in SOS. Here is a listing of some of the upcoming UConn opponents with today's RPI ranking:

Temple #254
SMU #232
East Carolina #208
Temple (again) #254
Memphis #273
Wichita State #271

For comparison, the worst RPIs of remaining opponents for various teams from various conferences:

ND: UVA (#104, next worse is #86 BC (twice), then it jumps to #50 Duke!)
Stanford: Colorado (#123, then #110 UW (twice), then #95 WSU (twice))
Baylor: Texas Tech (#144, then #143 OK (twice) and #107 WVU (twice))
Syracuse: UVA (#104, then #101 Wake Forest, then #86 BC (twice))
Oregon: Colorado (#123, then #110 UW and #95 WSU).
Miss St: UF (#203, then #190 Miss (twice), #173 Vandy)
Iowa: Illinois (#160 (twice), #111 PSU, #82 tOSU)

Here's the highest teams each of the above plays in the remaining schedule (to compare to UConn's #7 Louisville):

ND: Syracuse (#4) and NC St (#8)
Stanford: Oregon (#5)
Baylor: ISU (#11) twice
Syracuse: ND (#1)Louisville (#7) NC State (#8)
Oregon: Stanford (#2)
Miss St: South Carolina (#23)
Iowa: Rutgers (#17)

Yes, you read the above part about ND's schedule correctly. 9 of the remaining 12 games on their schedule are against teams with an RPI ranking of #50 or better.
