Last night was a must-win game and they made it look pretty easy.
Going strictly by the PI numbers, this has been our most valuable win to date this season. As somebody noted somewhere else, there will be very few opportunities to play a 75%+ team this season since there are currently only 4 in the region (BU, Ashland, Findlay, Davenport). Lewis, USI, UIndy are all above 70%, so they may still break into that tier.
Wins (listed best to "least best"):
Rockhurst - 20 (50%+ road)
Malone, LSSU, NMU, Barry - 19 (50%+ neutral)
Maryville - 17 (25%+ road)
Truman, Quincy, OVU - 15 (25%+ home)
OCU - 12 (0%+ home)
At this point, Massey has us favored in every remaining game except for Bellarmine. Lewis is the tightest match with a 51% chance, followed by UIndy at 57%.
Two weeks' worth of convincing wins, second in the conference standings and Point Rating System, and probably a top 4 team in the region did seem to quiet this thread down a bit.

Currently 5th in the region by the PIs, 4th if you only count post-season eligible teams.
People here don't like to talk about successes. Only failures.

In good news, we got some votes in the polls this week for the first time in a while. Of course, that historically is when we start slipping. Here's to breaking out of that trend...
