Was at the game last night (every game except Tennessee). Their current SOS according to Realtime RPI is 167 which is not ideal, though projected to have a 98 SOS.
We still have 7 games against current Top 100 teams. Drake, Arizona State, Columbia, St. Joes, Duquesne and Richmond. The Harvard win counts as a "Quality Win" via RPI. Running the table, IMO would put us somewhere in the 6-7 range or higher.

Ok, thank you. I obviously do not expect them to finish the season with 1 loss (but holy hell that would be amazing!)... but hopefully they do well enough to improve on the current projection... this team certainly feels like it is much better than a 12 seed.
Stop waiting for UMass to do something big and help UMass do something big. - Shades

Good to see Fair is healthy enough to get on the floor…..imagine the confidence that TV is showing in her as she played for one (1) minute
Anyone know whats up with Dabo? She came in highly touted but we haven't seen her yet at all.
Just hope the talent on the bench doesn't leave due to lack of PT
This team is fun to watch tho. So talented and unselfish. Really a well constructed, balanced team
Dabo has not been dressed and available, same with Harden. Harden had an ACL injury, unsure on Dabo.
Regarding the bench play, I think TV is doing a good job working people in. I think Fair and Gabriel are likely not at 100% or he is slowly working them in. Remember, Sam came off the bench for a few games when she became available after sitting out for transfer year. Paige McCormick was the starter then -- plenty of time left in the season to get people up to speed.

I would say a loss or two among this group is likely not going to take us out of contention for an at-large, though something like losing last night against UMass-Lowell would have been devastating.

The next game will be a challenge. Drake is good. Their only loss was in OT to now #8 Iowa (they were #4 when they played). They can't turn the ball over 20 times against a good team and expect to win.

Drake is favored by 2 and it doesn't get any easier from here. AZ State and Missouri are very good (combined 10-0). Yale and Columbia are also good. Out of 7 remaining non-conf. games, only St. Peters and Dartmouth look easy.

Then, winning against these teams will definitely put us in the conversation for an at-large if we do not with the Atlantic 10.

Game is delayed and is just about to start, I'm guessing the game before went into Overtime

Players seem tired. Our short bench rotation is not helping us right now.

White is out -- Fair has gotten plenty of minutes today.

If they can hold on, it would be a great program victory and hopefully get us some votes in the top 25 poll.
