This year, 52, was an anomaly. We are usually anywhere from the upper 60's to the upper 90's in overall sos. Teams like Xavier, VCU, and Temple routinely had/have a sos of 60 or better when they were/are in the A10. I do not see why we can not match them.

We have only eclipsed 60 5 times since 1993-1994.

Relying on buy games for your sos is a very risky proposition. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. This year it worked.
