Plenty of other threads to complain about the Men's program. The Women's team just came off their best pair of games since the Cynthia Cooper-Dyke era.
THAT was my point! I was simply implying that all it took was good coach to get us on track.
Fair enough. Again, really proud of the Lady Hawks.
Nation, we're tied for first in the loss column, with home wins over Towson and JMU. With those two huge home wins in our pocket, what does the next week or two look like? Is there parity in the league, or will the schedule get softer?
The conference is pretty strong from top to bottom. Currently the # 10 ranked league, and probably will be one of the highest-ranked leagues not to get multiple bids. So that'll make it tough.
Northeastern is the team below us to watch our for. They're 3-3, but # 53 in the NET rankings, with 3 wins against the Top 100 in non-conference. They lost @ Towson and JMU, though they also lost a close game at home to Drexel they probably should have won. I'd be very surprised if they don't end up in the top 4.
We're on the road this week, to face Delaware (1-4) and Drexel (3-2). We can't afford a let-down game against Delaware. I don't expect to beat Drexel up there. They're tough.
We then face the aforementioned Northeastern and Hofstra (0-6) at home. So we need to go 2-2 the next 2 weeks to put ourselves at 6-3 at the halfway mark. Feb 15/17 is when we make our huge road swing to Towson and JMU back to back. JMU plays their next 3 at home, including a massive game against Towson on Feb 3.
Towson gets Elon (2-3) and the Tribe (3-2) at home leading up to the JMU game. So I'd say both Towson and JMU will be 7-1 heading into the H2H with each other.
Current Standings:
1. JMU (5-1)
Towson (5-1)
3. UNCW (4-1)
4. Drexel (3-2)
W&M (3-2)
6. Northeastern (3-3)
7. Elon (2-3)
8. Delaware (1-4)
Charleston (1-4)
10. Hofstra (0-6)
If I had to guess the final regular season standings, I'd go with this:
1. JMU
2. UNCW
3. Towson
4. Northeastern
5. Drexel
6. W&M
7. Elon
8. Delaware
9. Charleston
10. Hofstra
