I think we lose this one. I wish it were not true and I hope I am wrong but we are outmatched IMHO.

She probably uses her salary as an adjunct professor of writing at LU to pay her kid's allowance. Former sports writer for the LA times, so it makes sense she would be into a basketball gameJonathan Carone wrote:Tonight’s another reason moving to the ASun was good for is.

I also would put our first wins over VT and UVA ahead of it (even though the teams we beat were really not very good) because they were milestones in showing we could compete with the state "big boys".+1 Thank you for reconciling this for me.
Was it the BEST win ever? I've been thinking about that, and I believe it was. I certainly think they are the best team we have ever beaten

Since then they are 3-6 (6-6 under Bartow) and in their last game they needed OT to beat a really bad Cal team that has now lost 13 straight. It no longer counts as a quality win for any selection committee.

Add to that, if we end up playing in a rubber match in the ASUN tournament final, you have to think both teams will be in the discussion for the Big Dance, regardless who winsThere is almost no chance the A sun is a 2 bid league unless something crazy happens.
