Thanks BeK. Happy New Year.

Is it just me or are a lot of the teams which beat us in OOC play doing fairly well? I see JMU beating a Power 5 team in Wake and remember you posting other wins or strong games by Elon, Princeton, Bucknell (yes I know we beat them) and others. Just hoping that the losses early weren't as bad as they seemed at the time.

While RU played a decent enough crop of mid-majors (you should see who our other team, Arizona, played, little sisters for sure) none of them "should" have beaten RU. In certain seasons, Chattanooga, Temple, St. John's and Seton Hall, as well as JMU, have fielded teams that are competitive with P5 teams, they don't look like they are really having those kind of years. Later on my other computer I'll check that I'm not crazy, but that's my take.
