Davidson is chucking up the rock this year. Davidson it taking 39 threes per game and hitting 15 for 39%. Contrast that to our 24 and hitting 8 for 34%.

A10 is off to a tepid start to the OC schedule. Way to early to talk about resumes and tournaments but it's going to be a lean year. 37-38 as a league, as of today. I haven't dug that deep but, it's going to take a league victory because it appears there will be no resume help from January on.

Why do you have Hofstra at #17?

hawkoooo 12-11-2017 06:01 PM

Our SOS is #2 currently. That will take a hit next weekend when we play Georgia State, but should gain ground again with the last two non-con games.

Do you mean UMass? And the answer is no, because they are not Final 4 good.

But we have played two really tough teams at home this year, Auburn and Rhody. Both are potential Sweet 16 seeds.

jack72 01-22-2018 02:50 PM

I was concerned the way we let Richmond, a three win team, come back and make a close game of it. Now they have reeled off four straight wins. Puts a positive light on our win at Richmond.
