I've unfortunately only caught a handful of games this year, but
I'm so happy to see Olaniyi find his stroke from three. He's an
all-conference guy that has lifted his play to an entirely
different level this year.

Kenpom is a joke if they still have VT at 83 and SB at 125 when
SB manhandled VT last night.

;D ;D ;D Manhandled might be a little strong, but a heckuva win
for sure.
KenPom now has us going 15-1 in conference, with the only loss
being a one-pointer at home against UVM. I suspect we'll slip up
before then. I think it's clear we're the top two teams in the
AE, but I wonder who the next two are? Maybe Albany and
Hartford.

My one concern over all this is that we may have peaked too
early. Remember last year all those wins we got early, but
couldn't manage to finish down the stretch? This is a completely
different team, but I still worry about that being an issue.
We're currently the top dog in the AE and everyone is coming for
us now.

Valid concern, and we need Geno to temper things after this big
win. Long, long way to go. In retrospect, Boals probably
accountable for not focusing our guys against Bing; probably too
distracted with his Ohio gig. Heilbron ought to lock Geno up
for a couple of years, by extending his contract, raising his
salary (I think he's pretty low by D1 standards at $365k +
expenses), and showing the team its commitment to him. That'll
go a long way to keeping some continuity with team, and keeping
us focused.

This is just personal conjecture, but my theory is that Boals
was way more of a player’s coach than Geno. Just the vibe I get
from him not only here, but back at Ohio as well, is that he’s
more of a friend than a coach. So I can totally envision how,
after starting 17-3, they were all taking it easy.

I think they both have/had players' respect. No idea on your
conjecture, but I think Ford is much more gregarious than Boals,
and he's been through the rodeo many times before and knows how
to be a head coach, whereas Boals had to learn on the job at
SBU. I like Geno's rotations, play calling and demeanor, and I
just don't want SBU to be a launching pad for another coaching
jump come the end of this year.

We're always going to be in that position until we're at least
in an A-10 level conference. That's just how it is.

Is the A-10 just having a really good year? I thought we were
doing great but there are still EIGHT! A-10 teams ahead of us on
KenPom.
