Brown and Kelly what more can you say with those eye popping numbers that they put up. Now it is in the hands of the playoff committee to see if we made enough of a statement to squeke in the playoffs. After this performance we deserve to be there.Ditto! I hope the committee will smile on us and get an at large!

It is really quite simple: Who have we beaten? Ball State is a nice win no doubt about it but what about Coastal? Nope. JMU? Nope. Even Robert Morris? Nope. Having a resume where you say "Yeah, but look who we LOST to." doesnt really do a lot. Since there is a 3 way tie, why not invite all 3 teams? While we beat SB head to head, CC LOST to them but BEAT US. In a confusing situation like that, a committee will most likely go with the easiest solution: 1 Big South Team. And finally, if we couldn't get an at large bid BEFORE automatic qualification, then why would we get one now?

There aren't that many teams that have 7 this year that are currently hoping for an at large like us.

1st half was awful. This persistent slow start whi[…]
