In response to PennFan10

For Penn Nation:

In fairness Towson is a top 125 team and maybe fringe 100 team (they were around 116 before our game and after are down to 111).

Missouri State and Georgia Southern are all solid mid majors this year close in ratings to the top of our league (110 and 90 on Kenpom this evening).

Those sound like quality opponents to me. The shame is that we blew the chance to face another quality opponent by losing to Towson tonight.

Behind door #2 is a UMKC team ranked way down at 284, but who only lost to Georgia Southern by 3 and comfortably beat the Manhattan team that beat Harvard. Sounds like a trap to me... hope the guys can bounce back quickly.
