so we lost to an NAIA school at home last night
- Thread starter ohio herd
- Start date
Campbell is D1, and is a member of the Big South conference.
Campbell is picked to win the Big South in the preseason poll... They made the NIT two years ago.
That is correct but still a pretty embarrassing loss. This was scheduled to be a tune up game that you win by 15-20 points.
Campbell is no slouch. They were supposed to be a tune up game for Duke as well, but they ended up competing well with them. Remember watching some of that game, and it was relatively close throughout, with Duke winning by 10-11 points.
Campbell is not an NAIA school. Get your info correct before posting.
If you have to post correct information, it is hardy worth the trouble of coming here. 😀
Campbell may not be a tune up game but they should be. Coach said in the post game "They have won 27 out of their last thirty or something like that" He was pretty close. They have won 19 out of their last thirty with NC State and Marshall being probably the two most recognizable names in that list. Last year they were 17-10 overall, 11-6 in conference.
I’m sure Campbell are saying “whew, that was close to being an embarrassing loss last night”.
Our offense looked like playground ball compared to their passing and moving without the ball to get open.
Campbell is an average team. They are very much like a good Ivy League team with the back cuts and passing. They are there for the taking by an athletic team with any sort of discipline at all. Marshall is a wild team though. The "free" style of play is just wildness with this team. And I fail to see what analytics in a macro sense has to do with a specific group of players who by and large can't shoot from the outside, particularly as a tool to inform strategy within a particular game where the players are struggling even by their standards of accuracy. It was a pretty disastrous performance against an average team that was scheduled to lose.
The Big South is a Division I conference, as we have established. However it is made up of smaller colleges, average enrollment about 4000, playing in what can only be described as gyms, and generally yields a champion that is among the lowest seeds.
But the main point is that this was a non-return game, AFAIK. Non-return games are supposed to be wins.
We looked bad, but ODU was smoked by 50 points by a mediocre Indiana State.
There are learning opportunities here. My guess is that they will be ignored.

Kenpom ranked #161. Marshall is #115. That’s after we lost to them. It was a bad loss.
Too early in season to use KenPom rankings like that. Very well may prove to be true but really need about 2 more weeks of games to determine based on KenPom
