OK..the 3-0 MIGHT be against the bottom 3 but like some have said...those are the ones you HAVE to win.

Now steal one of the next 2 (actually can take both if you like) and I think we'll all be happy.

2 more total road wins and you have reached a good goal of winning over half your road games.

Just to be devil's advocate here ...

If you're looking for at-large consideration, then beating the bad teams is great.

But, if you're looking for tie-breaker advantages for the Valley, you actually want to beat the better teams. One thing I'm pretty familiar with is the points system (I'll roll out my copy in a couple games) and you get a lot more credit for beating the good teams than the bad ones.

So, for instance, Creighton's win AT Bradley (19 points) is worth more than actually all three of Bradley's road wins combined (12 points). Of course, you win more games than the team chasing you, and it doesn't matter.

Just something to keep in mind ... hopefully we won't have to worry about this and we'll just keep posting wins at home and on the road.
