RowdyZip Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Obviously, 2 more wins this week is far outweighed by the SOS drop. That sucks, but we should have learned that long ago. Nearly every year we get to this point in Nov. and Dec., to creep into the national conversation, a we blow it by scheduling a few too many cupcakes for anyone to take us seriously. We're really not anywhere near the national conversation at all. Only way that happens is if we are undefeated with a Nova win under our belts. Now if we start the MAC season 10-0 and get to 22-2 or something, people will pay attention, cupcakes and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never been in the "national conversation" or even close in the OOC stretch of the schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think you two needed to read my post more carefully. It's a missed OPPORTUNITY. We were #46 yesterday. Two wins against any kind of real opponents this week would have moved us forward. Instead, we'll win, but will continue to drop backwards. In years past, we've had similar opportunities. We keep winning, but we drop during this period. The schedules have pretty much been the same for the first 15 games of the season for quite a few years now.

Valpo Zip Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I find it interesting that we PAY $$$ to those teams to destroy our SOS and damage our RPI (even with a win). But off course, that is not relevant because the most important thing is that we are building a fan base of NEO people who impatiently wait to see those games year after year.

kreed5120 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The fact many teams have begun conference play while we are still in cupcake mode has accelerated our descent in the rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morris buttermaker Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I didn't go and have been to only 2 games this year. What I pay for my season tickets is starting to make me wonder why I bother -- too many pointless games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thats too bad, you missed a good game. SCSU played a good game and kept the score fairly close during the whole night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Some cupcake. They just knocked off Miami 71_67. The same Miami that only lost by 1 at Dayton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
