Getting to the point about whether or not W&M is ready to contend....
Has anyone had an issue with W&M's OOC scheduling? While, Drexel, JMU, and Elon are scheduling battle tested OOC schedules loaded with Power conference teams, W&M keeps playing a really weak schedule. Case in point. From an RPI standpoint, Drexel (54) was by far W&M's toughest opponent other than St. John's (42). Last year, W&M missed out on the WNIT despite winning 20 games and that was clearly due to playing a weak schedule. So I'll be interested in seeing if W&M is prepared to compete in the CAA after starting the season playing the 297th ranked OOC SOS, while Drexel's ranked 92nd and JMU's ranked 44th. My thought is that right now, Coach Swanson is more concerned with racking up wins against lesser opponents to draw interest to the program. This is just some thoughts from an outside observer. Time will tell.
