    Agree. Which makes it even worse that they didn't get in.

    I think we can both be right here. Kenpom had their SOS at 304 after the regular season. This shows how dramatically different SOS numbers can be depending which one is used.

    I think their OOC SOS schedule was slightly over 300, but they still should have gotten in, especially over that awful, non deserving Tony Bennett led UVA team who ended up losing 67-42 in the play in game. One of 7 times UVA scored in the 40s that year.

    But, the goal should be an at large. What good does a strong NET do if the committee is gonna hold a 300+ SOS against u? And, no question the committee will choose a 20-13 ( 9-9 or worse in conference) major over a 25 win mid major with a 300+ SOS. They will look for reasons to keep a team like...

    Agree both are terrible schedules. Kenpom has SLU at 321 and us at 340. I was looking at St Louis as better because they play more good teams and at least have a power team on theirs, along with good MWC and WCC teams. So, they play 4 good teams while on paper our 2nd best team is William and...

    I don't see how their SOS could be worse than ours. They have played 3 top 100 teams, Santa Clara, Stanford, and Grand Canyon, and a 4th, San Fran, at 115.

    We don't have to schedule tough. I wouldn't call what we have done nearly every year until the past 2 years scheduling tough. I would call it scheduling smart. For whatever reason, the past 2 years we stopped doing that. And you are fooling yourself if you think an A-10 team can ever trick the...

    Because we only have around the 3rd easiest schedule so far. Gotta get to the easiest.

    Rotation and Minutes

    Yes, we can and will find a better player in the portal. So, a guy transfers, no quality mid majors want him, he goes to an Ivy League school, averages 7 ppg, and u guys say "wish we had him"?????? The guy looks thinner than Sal out there, but you guys want him here battling A-10 guys??

    Rotation and Minutes

    Yep. I wish him the best there. I just don't think he ever would have been a key rotation piece for us. We need to do much better at that spot if we want to do well in the A-10.

    Soulis is averaging 7 ppg for Columbia. No, he was not a loss for us.

    While I agree with the first part, did u think the same a couple years ago before we went 15-3 in the A-10? At large talk was never realistic before the 1st game this year because of the schedule. Who knows how the A-10 wil play out. We could be under .500, .500, slightly above .500, or go...

    We could have very much be in the at large discussion going into conference play with a 9-2 record ( 11-2 if we win the next 2) with the same wins we have now plus maybe one more good mid major win had our losses been to majors and not Furman and Elon, which would have made our SOS much more...

    Agree. I always want a top 4 seed because, even though we did win 4 straight in 22, winning 3 games and not 4 is obviously a much better path to the A-10 title. So, to me, the games will finally matter once A-10 play starts. We were never getting an at large with a 300+ SOS, no matter what our...
