As I waited for the CFC game to get going, I delved into our performances so far. this may take you a while to read, but it might be interesting FYI- both factually and subjectively. This info may be disjointed but bear with me-here goes.
First some trivia:
BTW= due to our victory over #41Xavier who beat #1Houston we are #1 in the country-
Carr made the correct choice transferring to #42 Wake Forest
IMO #49 Princeton is way overrated-check their weak schedule.
Obviously rankings can be deceiving and aren't the best way to judge a team since many factors come into play such as upsets, injuries, officials calling games, etc, etc.
Moving on-UD stands at 9-6(1-1) with a #131 ranking by KP---I will utilize lots of stats that might point our overall season so far-se below:
OOC teams we have faced
-Lafayette-#331
Bucknell-#3219
DSU-#304
Robert Morris-#279
Rider-#276
Brown-#259
Air Force-#224
Rhode Island-#202
GW-#180
Ohop-#167
UNCG-#138
Goldey B- ???
Delaware Basketball
Current Record 9-6 (1-1 CAA)
Projected Final Record 20-11 (12-6 CAA)
• After losing to Hofstra 76-71 yesterday, Delaware is now projected to finish the regular season 20-11 (12-6 CAA).
• The odds that the Blue Hens make the NCAA tournament are 11%, unchanged since yesterday.
• We currently rank Delaware as the #136 team in the country, and the #5 team in the CAA.
• Next game: Thu, Jan 11 at #307 Campbell. Our power ratings give the Blue Hens a 73% chance to win.
01- my bad- sore eyes after all the research-"forget about it" edit-delete Lafayette.
I decided not to mention Xavier's loss to St. J's. earlier in my extended post- shows how a good coach can make a big diff upon being hired. The lowlife(pool table)Petino has done it!
hoped some might "bite" on the quality of opponents for discussion though it's self evident.
My stats which apply to our scheduling in most sports is simple. historically winning has been the goal at the expense of competition. Our CUSA move will remove the CAA declining dilemma, but not improve this issue as low rankings indicate. This unfortunately was what remained in the FBS cookie jar due to our BOT. At least we can schedule up(we have brilliantly for 2025 football). Now we need to do the same for OOC basketball.
