Topic: We must be losing

[Herdmeister]

Not a bad performance?  Really? Just got beat by ECU.

Oh, yeah.. the #4 seed in the league. Have you noticed what they have done this year? They are the  best shooting 3-point team in the league, one of the top FT shooting teams and they have the league's top scorer. Yes, THAT ECU!

Yeah I've noticed they have a whopping RPI in the high 90's. Not real impressive if you ask me.

ecu's the #4 seed in a 1-bid league -- what a pwrhouse they must be.  are they anywhere remotely close to the ncaa bubble?  not hardly.  in the conversation for an NIT home game?  doubt it.  thus, i'm not impressed, either.

Terrible loss. ECU isn't anywhere close to even making the NIT.

folks, we are div I.  our brethren within that division include Kansas, Michigan, Indiana, other div I top 25 schools . . . cusa, mac, maac, all the way down.  top 25 schools, ncaa tourn teams worthy of an at-large bid if they didn't win their crappy conference, those are losses that "aren't bad losses."  those are teams we can lose to & still qualify for a "decent showing on the road."

Hofstra, south Dakota state, Houston, ecu . . . these are NOT good teams!  they're "not terrible" teams in a pathetic conference, quality-speaking.  other than MEM, there are no "good losses" in our conference.

if any of our fellow Div I brethren mentioned above lost to these so-called "good" teams we've lost to, they'd be resume killers on their ncaa tourn resume.  so, if it's a "bad" loss for 1 div I team, it's a "bad" loss for any div I team with any kind of ambition at all.

we've lost to a LOT of bad teams this yr, fellas.  ecu -- road, home, neutral -- is a bad loss.
