While it may not be accurate, it is still important to have a realistic look at how the basketball world perceives us. I would argue that some people on this board have a far more distorted perception of the current state of ODU basketball that these writers.

How is this the national view of ODU basketball? We beat Richmond last year, should have beat VCU. George Mason hadn't won more than 11 games in the past 4 years before last year. Liberty won 21 games in the Big South and 3 of their wins were against DIII schools. It took me five min to look that up. This writer did no research, its is not the current state of ODU basketball because every ranking that I have seen up to this point has ODU better than every school in VA except VT, UVA and are right behind VCU in most rankings. You have no idea what you are talking about and neither does this writer.

Yeah it's BS. Hell, I'd hope we'd be perceived to be better than Liberty even if it weren't tru.

That is my entire point. Of course we are likely better than Liberty. The problem is that national media lumps us in with Big South schools rather than A10 schools. It just is what it is, but those of you who deny it are just unwilling to take an objective look at what our current profile looks like to people across the country.

Can you name anyone besides Norlander that lumps ODU with Big South schools?

Thank you. Monarchblue thinks this 1 fool is the entire national media. There have been many other rankings/listings that say say otherwise
