Thankfully for us, the pre-season KenPom rankings do not/can't factor in strength of schedule...

Queens -- 227
Tennessee Tech -- 340
Coppin State -- 315
Miami Oh -- 262

Moorehead State -- 223
Ohio -- 205
Akron -- 110

That would be a good logo to have painted mid field and mid court on the football field and the basketball arena this season.

Thanks for sharing. This is how truly AWFUL the SBC is in men’s basketball. JMU, MU, and ODU. And that is it. This year, next year, every year.

And we play these cupcake joke schedules, get out worked by the two Virginia schools, keep DD, and in a few years it will be just ODU and JMU.

I'd throw in Texas State since they have won the league regular season title the last two years and went to the NIT... But otherwise totally agree, the SBC is awful.

I didn't say "ok".

I find Miami @ 262, Morehead @ 223, and Ohio @ 205 seemingly incorrect. All 3 of those teams are better than that on a near yearly basis. We'll see but I think their off on these numbers.

Miami has been dreadful for a long time. They’ve finished below .500 12 out of the last 13 years. They haven’t won 20 games in a single season since Wally S was playing.

Wow I didn't know that. Guess I haven't been paying close enough attention.

Tates Locke, Darrell Hedrick, Phil Snow, or Ron Harper ain’t walkin thru the door of old Withrow Court anytime soon. ;-))

Let's hope not, since the Deadskins don't play ball in old Withrow any more!!

Withrow was one of the best examples of a “band box” gymnasium.

Miami in basketball is like BGSU is to us in football! We don't win at either joint in either sport!
