UVA #1 - NCAA Participant
Virginia Tech #61 - NCAA Participant
Hampton #237 - NIT Participant

1) Old Dominion #78
2) William & Mary #93
3) Radford #128
4) Virginia Commonwealth #135
5) Richmond #176
6) George Mason #201
7) Liberty #211
8) Norfolk State #266
9) James Madison #272
10) Virginia Military #313
11) Longwood #337

We played 5 games against teams on the list this season. That is pretty good. We have also played Norfolk State, VMI, Liberty and Radford in the recent past. Only VCU and Richmond and VT remain elusive on this list and even UVA played us in 2015-16. As you can see, only ODU can be described as a resume builder this season. But, it is VERY hard to get games that help. Yet, we have managed to have at least 3 quality nonconference games each season. This season it was more since you can include Marshall and ODU as quality games as well. I don't think we can get enough good games and wins as a league. But, strong scheduling improves the RPI of the whole conference and many of the teams(even the bottom within the league). I have no idea how the CAA and its member institutions fight the problem. The A10 has obviously mastered it.
