Yes, we are 10-1 and there is nothing but great about that when you consider our history,
And, we all know our OOC schedule is damn soft, but we have been dropping steadily in the standings for, at least, the last three wins. Our last win over FDU dropped us just short of 20 spots which is really something. We were at #76 before the game and are now at #94. One can only imagine the drop had we lost since FDU is ranked way down the list.
Fordham (5-6) will not doubt be the same kind of thing if we win as they are ranked very low.
As great as winning is for the team and fans, how the "experts" view our record should be a solid moment of clarity for all of us. For me, this team has already well exceeded any of my pre-season expectations. How could I be any less prepared for winning so many games so quickly based on what we have seen for so many past seasons?
The real question for me is what will the rest of the real season be like? This team is still working on who and what they are. There are certainly going to be games that will show just how young and less skilled than our opponents we are. But, we really seem to have a solid coaching staff that knows how to manipulate the team in and out of game situations that we just have not seen in such a long time.
This staff is in the same learning curve as the players. Will they all just get better together?
Will we be over .500 at the end of the season? Is there a chance at the NIT? Will we not be at the bottom of the BIG when it all ends? All questions that really remain too hard to answer right now as we have been beating teams that pretty much already know where they will be in March. Just so nice to already be in a situation where we can still hope for some positive answers to these questions.
