North Alabama putting the screws to ECU so far, up 14 with 3 to go in the 1st. Hoping this loss doesn’t age terribly.

ECU loses by 7 to N Alabama (7-4; Kenpom #171 from #196). ECU now #160; was #150. #135 right after they beat us.

Those are the kind of losses we have year after year. And they're killing us. Simply HAVE to win those games if we're going to get over the hump.

I completely agree, but the optimist in me thinks there is a real possibility that, having now refined the rotation, we are actually a better team than the one that let the ECU/CMU games get away and get blown out twice within the same game to Marquette.

The potential is still there to be a tournament quality team by years end, but would take an insane conference record to get in the at large conversation.
