    Our schedule will be improved next year. I have no problem with our schedule this year. We needed those wins to help to improve the winning culture. It was probably a game or 2 too soft but we needed to learn to win this year to carry us to a big next season.

    It's ok to admit greatness when you see it and curmudgeon has schedule greatness. He just replaced 5 wins with 5 wins and we now have an RPI of #23. That puts us in the 6 seed category. I'd rather be a 6 seed right now with the exact same amount of wins as we currently have than still trying to find a way to get into the tournament. I think Howland would be wise to listen to some scheduling tips. There are ways to work the system like Curmudgeon just showed us and we will be basically guaranteeing a bubble spot at worst even in our worst seasons. Stansbury never understood this and Howland is showing he doesn't either. No offense meant to Howland almost all coaches don't understand how to game the system better.

    I’m not sure we go 5-0 in those games. Did you see how we were playing early in the year? To add Stephen F Austin has a win over LSU and lost to Mizzu by 1 and Dayton is usually a bubble tourney team , no way of knowning they wouldn’t be that good this year.

    Even if we lose 2 of them we are still 9 spots ahead in RPI and the committee can no longer dump on our OOC schedule.

    Agreed! This was the “cusp” of greatness year... we are slightly ahead of schedule.
