TRUTH!
Wait..... Realtime RPI 1/12/15:
CAA - 11
MAC - 16
CUSA - 17
Slumbelt - 19
Wish we played in one of those better options to help the ladies improve.
Take the Lady Dukes talents to one of those other conferences and the gap will narrow significantly (CAA drops and they improve).
Not to mention the fact that the impact to WBB should have ZERO bearing on where we play football and MBB. Sorry to KB but it is the truth and even he knows it.

All KB has to do is continue to improve his OOCSOS and let the chips fall. That is what he controls, and without a doubt he understands this.

Women jumped from 35 to 30 in this week's Coaches Poll. Glad to see them getting some of the credit they deserve.

RE: JMU WBB No Longer Receiving AP Top 25 Votes
Headed to the game at Elon tonight. If anyone else on here is down here, let me know. Expecting a crowd of about 200 - total. If you haven't seen Elon's "gym" and get a chance to tune in tonight you will be shocked beyond belief. Makes UNH football look like the Rose Bowl.
On a personal level, now that I'm in Greensboro, having Elon in the CAA has a silver lining, even if it's still surreal and screams about the CAA's small-time nature despite Elon's HUGE improvements academically the last two decades.

I thought about driving down since it is not much further to Elon than from Richmond to Harrisonburg, but too much work is keeping me at home tonight.
I wish I was working from our Greensboro facility this week. Will definitely have to plan better for next year.
Streamers, cheer for all of us!

Same here, I should be going up from Charlotte, but the wife just got back from out of town late last night taking care of her mother who just had surgery, and it best I stay home. Give a shout out of "GO DUKES" for me. You and the Elon's girl's parents will probably be the only ones in the place.

Looks like it'll be available on Elon's wondrous Stretch Internet service. Maybe we should look into something like that!

Ahh, the good 'ole days. Most programs improve their internet capabilities. We downgrade.
Not like anybody watches things on that "internet" thingamajiggy.

Notice that the 12-5 Pitt team that JMU defeated by 16 points got an AP vote for #25.

Agreed... More power to the folks that watch WBB, however, WBB should not, in any way, shape, or form, be used to determine our next conference. Football and Men's Basketball are king and always will be.
