RE: EMU Football's Effect on EMU Basketball
The selection committees for the CIT/CBI considers OOC records when picking. Remember how I was saying Murphy has a built-in easier OOC schedule? That comes into play here. Beating teams from conferences like the MEAC, Big South and other inferior conferences helps make the CIT/CBI resume. Creighton only gets one comparable game AT MOST per year.
Remember that Central Connecticut was a Top 25 FCS team and made the FCS playoffs. In the final Sagarins (which combines FBS and FCS) CCSU finished 160 (including higher than multiple FBS teams). That puts them at the 37th percentile in Division 1. This season Detroit Mercy finished at 306 out of 353 in the NET rankings. That puts them at the 13th percentile in Division 1.
Yes, we should be disappointed in barely beating CCSU. But barely beating UDM is statistically more embarrassing.
