In response to ivyrules
...
Only 2 of their 9 D1 wins came vs league opponents, and the other 7 were against teams at the bottom 25% of division 1
I was happy to get the noncon wins as a fan I buy into the hype, although I discounted the D3 wins. I did recognize the fact that the SOS was really low. But the wins helped with morale...that is until conference started.
I'd be interested to hear something I'd anything from the AD and the coach on the status and expectations of the program. It's hard to get to invested because at the end of the day these kids are getting an IVY education. I think you can have basketball aspirations and get the degree, but again the will to win had to start from the top. I think McLaughlin is there until he doesn't want to be. Unless he gets pushed out by the players i.e. losses the locker room. So, I doubt there is any true pressure to produce like at a top 100 program. It's evident that the league is on the upswing and Dartmouth is still operating as it historically had.
