ODU played some quality teams but looks like some quality opponent are really bad this year, while some that were supposed to be ok was really really bad. Glad we are still top 100 though.

eg

JMU - 337 : they would be on 100-200's usually
Richmond - 258 : These guys would be in top 100 or at least top 150 every year
VCU - 109: These f**kers used to be competing for top 50 ooc rpi. This year they are bad, and we lost to them :(.
NSU- 328 : I know they are local, but we went -41 spot after winning them in a neutral spot. Thank god we didn't play them at home field.


Some other mention
Indiana st - 230
Why did we play Fairfield, bowling green and NSU consecutively? This really hurt us. We could have at least put one or two quality opponent.

Really? I would hope if MTSU runs through the conference but is the champion runner up in the tournament they would get the at-large. Hope is the key word unfortunately.

If we weren't getting in with a 30-3 record last year (and we weren't) there is no chance with where we are now. We have ZERO top 50 wins.

If WKU runs through with only 1 maybe 2 losses in conference, could possibly get an at large. One top 15 win and another in the top 50..... but the odds are very bad

With only 6 scholarship players no way we only drop 1 or 2 conf. games...If we go .500 on the road in CUSA play that would be unbelievable....If we only have our 6 guys, I think 10-8 would be more likely CUSA record...If we get our 2 guys sitting out ASAP back, then I could see us going 12-6 or 13-5 in conf. play...

Joe LUnardi has MTSUhas 12th seed right now, he is fairly accurate with what com. thinks about teams and seeding....I was surprised to see WKU mentioned as last team considered as an at large....Only 19 spots away from last at large bid lol....Just imagine if we had all of our guys what our record would be at this point? Even short handed 10-3 would have been realistic and look much better than our 8-5 record right now...

We were supposed to be playing St Bonaventure (A10) but they backed out last minute. In our scramble we put Fairfield on the schedule. Might have been better to just leave it blank, but I am glad they got more reps at another arena.
