Seems like a good hire. Hopefully he can influence some improvement. I feel like its an uphill battle, but hoping he can help.

here's my fear (and it may be accurate):

UR and LaSalle were equally bad in conference this year at 5-13.
yet UR's NET is 165 and LaSalle's is 245. (I'm using warrennolan.com)

our NET is better because we scheduled weak. our non-conference SOS was #342. somehow we still lost 3 games.

LaSalle played Temple, Penn State, Villanova, Hofstra, Penn, High Point, and Michigan. we'd kill for a schedule like that. their non-conference SOS was #21. yet with the same in-conference record their NET is 80 spots below us. I'm afraid there's a benefit in the NET to scheduling poorly.

Noticed this too, it should be a cautionary tale to the NET algo folks that they are (un)intentionally (?) reinforcing a model that provides little incentive for anyone to schedule good/hard games OOC.

Leibovitz intro press conference getting underway right now.

Edit: And the stream died in the middle of him thanking a bunch of people. Good job, everybody. And now his two kids are joking around in the chat.

Did he make it under 256 this year?
