Must be. I can't figure out who's using what metrics. Nor does it really matter, I guess. UD won't get serious consideration for an at-large unless we go ~15-3 in A10 play. We play 5 games against teams that could/should provide a quality win (2 vs SLU, 2 vs VCU, 1 vs Davidson). 3 of those 5 games are on the road. We'll probably need to snag 3 of those 5 games and lay just one egg (presumably somewhere else on the road) to warrant reasonable consideration.

I do like our chances to compete if we were to get to the NCAA's. We've demonstrated the ability to play with the best, just need to get there. Our margin for error for getting there is very thin over the next 15 games. Otherwise, win 3 in a row in March.
