Yep. We're nearing the end of non-conference play, and the league is ranked 21st. Lowest I've seen in quite a while. The last time was 2012-13, when the league went 48-83 in non-conference and finished 22nd. JMU won the tournament that season and ended up a # 16 seed.
The only victories that could possibly be deemed "signature wins" are the following:
* JMU vs Radford (# 60 RPI): 73-66 W on Dec 4
* Northeastern neutral vs Alabama (# 82): 68-52 W on Nov 15
* Charleston vs. Rhode Island (# 88): 66-55 W on Nov 13
* Northeastern @ Harvard (# 103): 81-71 W on Nov 9
* Charleston neutral vs. Memphis (# 110): 78-75 W on Nov 25
And that's it. Zero Top 50 wins.
The remaining opportunities for quality/signature non-conference wins are these:
* Charleston @ VCU (# 30) - Dec 15
* UNCW @ Furman (# 90) - Dec 15
* Northeastern @ Vermont (# 75) - Dec 16
* Delaware @ Stony Brook (# 107) - Dec 16
* Drexel @ UCONN (# 140) - Dec 18
* UNCW @ Georgia St (# 53) - Dec 19
* Hofstra @ Stony Brook (# 107) - Dec 19
* W&M @ Virgina (# 22) - Dec 22
* Drexel vs. Temple (# 58) - Dec 22
