We lost to only 2 teams in the country since December 6--that's a 3 month period. Show me other teams outside the top 5 who did that. Our defense, although not a sexy stat, has been outstanding. Our assist/turnover ratio is among the best in the country. We have some excellent players returning--especially Ahmad, Trey, and BJ. Our little-used reserves, if they stick with the program (not sure why they should) have great potential. The biggest problem is scheduling. We need to drop the Norfolk States, Howard, Fairfields, and this of this ilk. Whether we like it or not we need to suck it up and BEG top schools to play us, even at their place. This crappy strategy of playing the weakest opponents at our place or theirs has gotten us nowhere and if Wood and JJ don't realize it then they are worse than stupid. Play teams that fans care about--I'd rather watch us lose to Virginia at Virginia or at Kentucky to Kentucky than see us beat East Carolina at home. It's time we stepped up--W&M, JMU, Richmond won't cut it--those teams don't help us in any way.

Just to be clear: you would rather see ODU lose games than win them? That would certainly excite the alumni base.

Just to be clear: You would rather play only MEAC schools so we can win every non conference game?
