In response to flinder
The River Hawk Classic is a tournament hosted by UMass-Lowell, a team that is in its seventh year competing at the Division 1 level.
This schedule lacks any oomph. We can't even get a low-level Big Ten team on it? A Pac 10 team? It makes our program feel small—maybe as small as it is right now...
Couldn't we at least play Cameron Krystowiak's dad's University of Utah team?
I thought we'd get a game at Utah at least too. In terms of feeling small, I looked at our program rating on KenPom.com and was crest fallen at how poorly we rate. I believe we were 307 out of 353. That placed us at the bottom of the IVY with the closest school being Brown at 269. So there is basis for your feeling. We operate like a low rated D1 despite being in a highly competitive solidly mid major conference. Honestly I'm kind of shocked the league office hasn't told us to raise our program profile, considering the rest of the league is moving forward.
