The weakness of the ASUN apart from Liberty is a real problem for us.
Psychologically, it is not good to have an absence of pressure. It is important to see competition in your rear view mirror to keep pushing hard. Not saying Coach McKay isn't able to push our guys hard, but there is no existential threat pushing the team.
When the conference schedule begins to feel like a pre-season exhibition, it is difficult to get ready for the NCAA Tournament. We haven't been tested. No adversity. We don't know what it's like to be down and have to rally back.
We are going to end up playing a legit Top 30 team in the NCAA. I'm concerned we won't be ready.
