Subject: Yes, its not easy to schedule

Thanks. I know scheduling is difficult and I understand the constraints, but in fairness not one of those teams finished last season with a winning record. None of those teams are a contender for their respective conference title (except Bing), and combined with the weak NEC rating, the overall SOS is very low.

I'm just suggesting sometimes you need a couple of "reach" game that is a big challenge that has "upset" potential. Just place Harvard and Delaware in the MS tourney and schedule 2 $ games vs. BCS conf teams (Seton Hall and Cuse). I'm not suggesting we can go 7-0 with this schedule, but on paper we have to be the favorite in almost every game. Yes, you still have to play the games and no they won't be easy at all, but there is no chance for a "marquee win." I understand if the other teams won't agree to play us, but I think it is a fair observation that this is somewhat weak compared to recent CCSU schedules.

Last season's finish (www.kenpom.com):

CCSU (12-16, 8-11 NEC) 253 RPI

Florida Intl (12-17, 4-10 Sun Belt) 177
Binghamton (12-17, 8-10 AE) 188
Harvard (12-15, 7-7 Ivy) 196
La Salle (10-19, 5-11 A-10) 213
Delaware (11-20, 7-11 CAA) 233
St. Bona (2-26, 1-15 A-10) 313

NEC Average RPI 245
