Manson just tweeted this:
What makes McKay's accomplishment even more impressive is that he has done it in just 5 seasons and only 2 of the other 4 20 win seasons were at the D1 level. Here are all 7:
1979-80 coached by Dale Gibson...... 28-11 NCCAA Champions
1982-83 coached by Jeff Meyer ....... 23-9 Finished 5th at NAIA Finals
1991-92 coached by Jeff Meyer ....... 22-7 Big South Semis
1996-97 coached by Jeff Meyer ....... 23-9 Big South Final
2008-09 coached by Ritchie McKay ... 22-13 CIT Quarterfinal
2016-17 coached by Ritchie McKay ... 21-14 CIT Quarterfinal
2017-18 coached by Ritchie McKay 20 wins and counting
To date, NONE of these 20 win teams were conference champions. Hopefully that will change tomorrow.
