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.

No one percieves this program to be 190th in the country. Find me some support that nationally, people think we are bottom half of CUSA.

Yeah tbe discussion was bc of that article.

I was surprised by that. I certainly expect us to be better than GMU and Liberty and hopefully Richmond this season. There have been quite a few years where we were the number one team in Virginia, and my expectations for the program are to be somewhere in the top 3 or 4 in most years.

We'll have to earn it. It isn't going to come in the form of a preseason prediction, playing in CUSA, following a 19 win season, and losing 2 4-year starters and our 6 man. This is the data that someone not following the team closely is going to look at. I personally would predict us in the 100-130 range with the potential to be better if everything comes together and JJ lets them play... or worse if we suffer an injury or suspensions, but I can see where he is coming from.
