Belmont is currently 7-0 with their best win likely being their 15 point last win against Toledo. They plan tomorrow at Charleston and if they can beat Mack's 2nd year Cougars, they will be likely the hottest lowish mid major team.

Anyone considering going? Being on a Wednesday makes it hard workwise so most likely won't be although a few friends considering.
 
Belmont whipping Charleston at half. Of course looking at Charleston rests seems to be the case for any decent team they have faced, I know earlier they had injury issues.

Belmont looking to move to 8-0 with Toledo as best win.
 
Lets see - - we played the 363rd hardest schedule and all were at home until Furman (which was neutral) and we got beat in our first time outside the Robins Center. Now our first actual road game and first decent team played and all at once for these new horizons. Consider me highly skeptical of the likelihood of a good outcome.
 
Very interested in how the ball movement and attacking on offense holds up. I saw more of the old weave down in Florida. Guys catching the ball and immediately looking to pass it to another guy 40 feet from the basket. Belmont has faces little competition. If we can keep that attack mode we had at home vs lessor competition, should have a chance to win this one.
 
When's the last time a Mooney team beat a Q1 opponent in a true OOC road game? I assume it was Kentucky? Before that, I can't think of an occasion.

That is indeed the case. We also beat Davidson on the road that season for another Q1.

But as mentioned, essentially zero chance Belmont finishes the season as a Q1 game for us.

Not really. A win won’t catapult us into an at large convo, our schedule is too crappy for that. And a loss just means we lost on the road to what is likely a decent/Q2 team.

But sure, it’ll be an important test of how competitive the guys are likely to be going forward.

I guess we should just forfeit then!
 
Against good opponents overall, I bet the percentage is even lower than 15% on the road.

Here's what our true road OOC games from the past 10 seasons look like:
• 9-20 record (31% winning percentage)
• Avg. win margin 10.9 points
• Avg. loss margin 13.1 points

Our wins:
Wofford
UNI
Kentucky
Vandy
Hampton
ODU
South Alabama
JMU
Wake

Only Wofford and UNI had winning records in the seasons we beat them, everyone else was pretty bad except South Alabama, which was 17-17.
