How Can This Be?

And don't look now, but at last check, the vaunted W. Carolina team so many here like to tout now has 8 losses in the SOcon!

I saw WCU play a few nights ago and they were VERY unimpressive. Not very big, not very quick....... Definately deserving to be in a lower mid-major conference like the SoCon. They will be lucky to even make the NIT now.

I think the only reason they were hot early in the season can be attributed to two things:

1) They were hitting the outside shot at a very high percentage, and
2) They returned 5 starters (now seniors) from the previous year and were simply ahead of the curve early in the year against better teams who were still trying to find their rhythm.
 
Our schedule was fine, we had 2 non conf. opponents that were very good in BYU and Ok.St; we should have won all the home games so we just have not played good enough or put 2 good halves together, this team can look so good at times and then look so bad and you just don"t know what to expect from them. I think they have issues as far as being out to late and partying to much.

Oh brother <deep sigh>. I've never seen so many posts containing rampant, baseless speculation as I have the past 24 hours. It makes for entertaining reading, but it really only muddies the waters.

Fair enough I suppose. But several people on here knock other teams for their schedules.

For instance, they knock ISU's schedule. Even though ISU beat us twice.

I understand the point of a tougher schedule. I scheduled my own team for years and we always played bigger schools to make our team better.

I guess I just haven't seen many returns out of BU's

Come on BradleyJD, ISU's schedule was just complete negligence and it hurt the whole conference regardless of record. That is what really matters above all else! Is the MVC a 2 team conference? Well with the overall scheduling I am going to have to say no, unless UNI does not win down in St Louis. The Valley does not have a chance or a decent argument at this time. With a better overall SOS then we can muster up so credibility. BU did their part for the overal SOS and when it is al said and done I'm a lot happier to have played our schedule and lose then to have ISU's schedule. There's not one part of my fandom for BU that would wish that we play a pansy schedule for a few more Ws. I loved John Chaney's philosophy when he coached at Temple,"Play anybody, anywhere, anytime!"
 
I'm with ya SFP. :) As a fan I would rather see BU or any other member of the league play top-tier mid-majors and lower-tier majors (and possibly lose) than play The Little Sisters of the Poor and run up a 15-1 record. (Are you listening ISU? ;) :lol: )

Fair enough...ISU still beat us 2x.

I don't want to play nobodies. I would like to find a balance.
