The 49ers had a soft schedule prior to starting conference play. That helped their W-L record. However, the A-10 is no cake walk and the next few games will prove what the niners are made of. If they can get past the next few games they have a shot at 20 wins, but in the end I question if that will be enough to get them in the NIT.

After three years under Major we seem to be about where we were when he took over, stuck in neutral. The next 3 games could change a lot of that perception. C-USA is just around the corner. I wonder what our record would be if we were in that conference this year.

I think we will and that should get us in the NIT. We have our backs firmly against the wall in regards to a NCAA bids, so it will be interesting how the team responds over the next couple of games. Plus, we still have the conference tournament.


That being said, we are exceeding my expectations so far this year.

Yes, we made it to 20. In his third year, we now have a better record than we did before Major took over. We lost one more conference game this year than we did Lutz's final year but the A10 is much more difficult than it was that year.

Now the question is how will we do our first season back in C-USA. I have to assume we will do much better in this conference but it will be much harder to get an at-large bid. One thing is for sure, we need to OCC schedule to be much more challenging to even think about getting an at-large.

it will take at least four seasons for you to get 20 wins... wait your talking basketball...nevermind
