Looking at how we've done so far - we did have some solid teams scheduled where we could have proved that we would be a top MAC team - Loyola, Albany, Valparasio, Northeastern, Oregon State. With these, we're 1-3 with one game left.

On the other end - 3 of our opponents haven't won yet - YSU, MVSU, and NSU

The Southeast loss is painful. A win at Wright State would have been a boost. I was hoping to be in the top 4 of the MAC teams in Sagarin now, as it is, we're 9th of of 12.
