I think many are underestimating how far we have fallen. The A10 understands it.

This is the last 5 years for JMU basketball:

98
227
177
311
285

This is our last 5:

177
194
152
171
113

I understand the grief people have over basketball for sure, but imagine how bad the pitchforks would be if we were as bad as JMU has been in basketball (except for last year)

I have zero clue what they have don't to replace what they lost in football so I have no response to that. I wouldn't know how we stack up to them and wont until September.

It's like the actual games don't count! They have beaten us what two or is it three straight times in basketball.

And we beat Syracuse! So how does that logic work? We are better than every team we beat and worse than every team we lost to?

If we beat Syracuse three times in a row, yes we are better than them. Just like we were better than VT when we whooped them so many times in a row.

Not only that, but Syracuse lost 14 games that year and we both made the tournament with 1st round exits. Whether they were better than us that year is certainly debatable. They were seeded in the 8/9, but overrated, as usual. KenPom was wrong!
