George Mason hadn't won more than 11 games in the past 4 years before last year. Liberty won 21 games in the Big South and 3 of their wins were against DIII schools. It took me five min to look that up. This writer did no research, its is not the current state of ODU basketball because every ranking that I have seen up to this point has ODU better than every school in VA except VT, UVA and are right behind VCU in most rankings. You have no idea what you are talking about and neither does this writer.

Yeah it's BS. Hell, I'd hope we'd be perceived to be better than Liberty even if it weren't tru.

That is my entire point. Of course we are likely better than Liberty. The problem is that national media lumps us in with Big South schools rather than A10 schools. It just is what it is, but those of you who deny it are just unwilling to take an objective look at what our current profile looks like to people across the country.

Can you name anyone besides Norlander that lumps ODU with Big South schools?

Thank you. Monarchblue thinks this 1 fool is the entire national media. There have been many other rankings/listings that say say otherwise

The amount of TV coverage we get would seem to align with the idea that nobody in the national media has remotely the same level of respect for our program that you do as well. Let's face it, we are fully off the map, and it only took 5 or 6 years. If we manage to make the NCAAT, you will see how much they respect us when we get a 15 seed too. My what a bad decision or two can do to a proud program at the mid major level.
