I don't understand the point of playing good but not great teams at home. Teams in the 75-160 range are Q3 at home, which means they aren't a quality win and would be a bad loss. Drake, UNLV, Vermont, and Colgate are all in that category. I can see why Cronin didn't schedule good mid majors.

I'm not really convinced that is true. Having depth would be very useful for the tournament. But with all these close games (plus Brannen not putting in guys even when we are up big), we end up with a very short bench.

do they not bump the sos? i always thoughts one of the reasons we were seeded a line or two lower than we thought was the ooc sos was so awful always. you shouldn't really lose to 75-160 teams at home. if we beat colgate and sweep them this year, won't that help our resume a bit due to the boost in sos. we'll need all the help we can get. |

it is quadrants but doesn't it look better without a ton of quad 4's? quad 3's aren't looked at favorable, but i think they're still a lot better than quad 4. but we still really shouldn't be losing those games at home, and we haven't lost one yet. i know the point you are making. with no value to either it doesn't make sense to risk harming yourself. but i gotta feel like theres a bit more value to the improvement of the team to play a bunch of teams that are ok over a bunch of teams that are horrendous. |

As an example, Vermont was a Quadrant 2 win last season! Scheduling easy wins over Quadrant 2 teams is hugely valuable compared to Quadrant 3 and 4. |

The NCAA uses NET now. I'm not convinced any of the teams we've beaten are going to end up Q2 (maybe Vermont). And I'm also not convinced that a bunch of Q3 wins is any better than a bunch of Q4 wins. I seriously doubt the committee ever gets that deep into a resume.
