We’ll get there, just keep winning. Besides coming off a terrible season, I think we’re hurt by no top-25 wins.

yeah even though RU is winning and winning big, some of these games are not to marquee teams. I guess the best win is NC St. The loss to WSU hurt because it wiped out all that talk out of the tourney of RU playing So Carolina so close...plus I think RU would have played a very good USF that with a win would have gained notice
BAC I believe WSU was the last game of the tournament no matter what--it was the final of the consolation bracket.
You're right about a lack of big name wins in the OOC schedule, but the team quietly played a very solid set of teams that I think was some smart scheduling by the staff. Using real time RPI data:
The team played only one team outside the top 200: #212 FDU
11/14 games against RPI top 150 teams.
9/14 games against RPI top 100 teams.
4 games against top 50 RPI teams.
As dmd said, they'll have opportunities in B10 schedule to score some signature wins.

Well, that's four more votes compared to last week. As you said, "just keep winning." I think our women will keep winning and will keep surprising many so-called experts out there and we will have several top 25 teams to beat in the B1G.
