And Jay Bilas will mention us in another article, probably referencing our "almost" last year in the tourney to Duke, and maybe even find a way to reference Maryland.
You're welcome.

If you go 27-2, lose the CAA final, it could be a way to get 2 CAA teams in the NCAA or a way to get snubbed. Playing the D2's would be part of the discussion by the committee of fools-best win the CAA and leave all the other crap to some other team.
With only 2 losses on the board, and wins at Clemson and St. Bonaventure it would be hard to keep us out. That would mean our only losses would be to MTSU on the road and CofC on the road(I presume). That's at-large stuff if ever there was at-large.

It sure is. But dont forget what happened to Drexel in '12 with their 27-6 record and winning like 24 straight before the loss in the CAAT. The big hit that year against Drexel was the OOC schedule and the loss to Norfolk State (who happened to pull the 15/2 upset over Missouri that year). The committee is always glad to leave out deserving mids for middling major conference teams. Don't give them the excuse.

The fly in the ointment in this whole thread is you first actually have to WIN those theoretical Ws. The David Robinson Navy team was the only one that I can recall that finished the CAA regular season with only one loss.

I am not disagreeing. But Drexel had no real bad losses that year {Virginia (22 wins team made ncaat), Norfolk State (26 win team made ncaat), St Joes (20 win team made NIT), Delaware (worst loss in rivalry game but 18 win team made CBI, Georgia State (22 win team made CIT), and of course the finals loss to VCU (29 win team made ncaat). My point was unless your OOC is flawless and at least average SOS it can create doubt regardless how many wins you rack up. Any doubt given to a committee about a mid is usually enough to have them looking at the NIT
I also know the womens game and mens game is vastly different, but Pricenton (in '14-'15) went 30-0 and the committee still wanted to exclude them and gave them an 8 or 9 seed.
Every year some team has a great record and all their fans are convinced that they will get in but they get the shaft. It happens every year,so don't be that team that leaves it up to the deciders in the dog house. If UNCW loses at Clemson that would be the excuse they need to leave you out. I can hear Bilas now saying that UNC-Wilmington lost to the only real program they played-blah,blah,blah.

That's right-we agree on this! That does mean anything to the NCAA stooges,they can wipe your season out in a heartbeat and don't have to answer to anybody it. If UNCW lose in the tourney-I doubt they get in.
Don't leave in the hands of people without a clue.
