Actually Mayhem, I looked at one "strength of schedule", saw it was close to 300, and used the eye test before I made the comment, but it was hardly meant to be the focal point of my commentary.   My (fill in your own term) comment, complaint, whine, bitch was that playing and losing to low ranked teams in an arena that is consistently 2/3 to 3/4 empty was not all that much fun.   Another argument is that I am generally a believer that playing against good competition makes you a better team.   Does anyone really believe that the schedule we played has prepped  us for the start of conference play?

So much disrespect for these "lower-level" teams. I'm not sure what games you were watching, but the teams that kicked our butts were better teams than GW. A few of them definitely had some better players than we did, especially in the low post. In recent years, the A10 has become a mediocre conference, with teams that are on a par with some of these "lower-level" teams we've played. So, I would say that the level of competition is about right. It's not about who gets higher rankings in hyped-up statistical analyses, but about 5-on-5 on a gym floor, otherwise, why play the game at all.
