are rock bottom tier teams.
Niagara finished #256 last year on kenpom and 6-14 in a weak conference.
Texas So. is even worse, imo. Playing in the poorest conference in D-1, their #212 ranking at the end of the season was inflated by wide margin wins over teams in their conference, all of which were ranked below 300 except for Alcorn St at #285.
We should usually play UVU and Weber and they should be the gimmies. It's nice they have progressed to the top 200 level. MVSU, ISU, TS, and Niagara are very poor.
I heard Tim LaComb today say he tried so what can you do? Is it to go on the road and play somebody good with no return game? That feels better to me but i have to trust the wisdom of the Head Coach who states he is trying to build the program for the long term.
