We are listed in the article, but they predict we will be "First Four Out". I don't think the article is too flattering. IT still favors P5 schools and traditional basketball powers.

I gave Norlander some grief on twitter. His stance will change once we beat Georgia State tonight.

Rothstein has surprisingly been in on ODU for a couple of weeks now. Hopefully he can sway others.

Winning will take care of a lot of things for us. A sweet sixteen appearance would be ideal.

A sweet sixteen appearance would be great a National Championship would be ideal. Just sayin'.

Not knowing ODU would be good is just ignorance from not realizing that a transfer from Campbell is good

CNNSI didn't even consider Trey a top 100 transfer. Had Dimitri in the top 80. I questioned them and they said they were just focusing on A-10 conferences and up which is ignorant.

I knew we would be good this year but not this good. I was hoping for 6-3 at this point but we are 8-1. I didn't expect to have this much improvement from Baker and Freeman is better than expected. We have even gotten better sin e our third game. You notice how well Freeman and Bacote play together that dynamic has improved. Seems Jones has developed a very good rotation too.

Agree, it has been a good 4 years since we have had a team that wouldn't have folded like a tent in game scenarios like we saw against UNCW (getting rolled early), LSU (getting rolled early), UR (tight game late), GMU (tight game on the road), and GSU. Those are probably 5 loses we would have taken even last year... and you can add VCU to the list as well because without Freeman, we don't build that comfortable lead and they would have pulled away from a close game in the 2nd half.
