BC is never easy...especially up at Chestnut Hill...6-game losing streak up there - FSU would be a nice win because Leonard Hamilton always has his teams right there and they know how to play tough. ACC champs not too long ago. ND has to be better than they were a year ago. Miami is a strong team still growing so we shall see.

My apologies I tallied up the stat wrong - there was a stretch where we met at the Dunk a few times in a row and then TD Bank...it's a 4-game losing streak at Chestnut Hill...still not good but my bad... Our last win at Chestnut Hill was Valentine's Day of 2004

IMO it's gonna be even harder getting them to The Dunk for the time being. It's probably a little easier when you stink and represent an easy but solid road win like when the Gators and a few other teams came here during that time. Now it's not only a road game but a very hard one at that.
Cooley may have not earned the respect of media and opposing fans just yet....... but you can bet other coaches are fully aware that PC is a team you can't just pencil in for a WIN anymore
also I would think you could add Albany to the cupcake list with Binghamton

exactly....losses don't boost the RPI (unless maybe you're top 10-15) but whereas you come to The Dunk in 2010(with our RPI say between 70-90) and beat us that equals an RPI boosting road win

Road losses don't hurt as much as neutral (1.0) or home losses when calculating RPI.

Man, I want that Notre Dame win. I'm thinking about making that trip down to CT.

My take is it will be EASIER to get teams in when we're strong rather than weak. Teams have nothing to gain going to a hostile arena to play a weak to mediocre team with a middling RPI.

The problem is we are toward the bottom of the list for recruiting purposes if scheduling a BE roadie....
