The only tourney we can get a bid to is the NIT, unless we win the conference championship, so I'd much rather see us end up something like 18-12 and play a lot of good teams than be 25-7 against cupcakes. I want to see interesting match ups against quality teams, not 300+ rpi teams.

I am on your side on this. I'd be willing to give up 2 or 3 home games if it makes the team better. Have a rotation of your home/home opponents (WM,VCU,Rich,JMU). Then work on 2 for 1 or hell even 3 for 1 games until you have a rotation of these games. They should have been doing this all along and many of us fans have said so for a long time. Only now are they seeing the light. I remember NC State, UNLV, Washington, UVA at the Scope. Pretty sure we lost 3 of those 4 but we were competitive. Eventually you're going to win some. And what do you think a road win against a NC State type team would do in almost any season? It stays all year long as your GOOD win. What GOOD wins would they even have listed this year? And if we start scheduling these games, then we're likely to play MTSU and WKU much closer than the eggs we laid this year. An why don't we leverage our FB team to get some of these deals? We add a cupcake to your football schedule and you give us 2 for 1 bball deal UNC/VT? I don't have all the answers but i do not something has to change. I love my team and always will but I shake my head every year when the schedule comes out.
