In '10-'11 (arguably best team in ODU history), we lost to a pretty bad Delaware team and beat a Towson team that would finish winless 51-47 at home in a game that came down to FTs in the last minute.

Poor performances happen. We definitely need to play better, but we won the game.

We control our destiny to finish 2nd and could still win the conference with a little help. While we still have yet to get any great wins, our worst loss is @VCU.

Pretty good season so far relative to where we have been lately. I hope we take the next step; still have some time, which has been bought by pulling off wins despite laying a several eggs on the road (Rice, USM, FIU, Fairfield). Past teams laying eggs on the road have resulted in losses. Once the season is over, I'll give my evaluation of JJ, but right now we are in decent shape and have a chance to have an acceptable result, which will happen if shot fall at a better clip. Shoot 9-25 (34%) instead of 5-25 (20%) from 3 against MTSU and we are alone in 1st place. That is the difference right now.

Agree on all points except I think @W&M was our worse loss we had that game won. The Tribe is on a slide now and will probably finish below VCU in the RPI. Right now they are 100 and VCU is123.
