FU @ Belmont Nov. 15th
Team rankings jumped FU from #103 to #70. Guess Pomeroy wasn’t impressed.
One game doesn't have enough weight in the formula to move things too much. The Paladins weren't even that big of underdogs really . . . it's only the 13th biggest upset of the year per Pomeroy and teams just started playing. In a few weeks it will be out of the top 100.
Plus, keep in mind that margin is the main factor - beating the spread by 16 against Radford is the same as beating it by 16 against Louisville, more or less. Obviously one result is much more exciting than the other from a fan perspective.
Belmont is really good, this is a super tough game . . . especially with Belmont having a star senior center, 6'11, 245. He almost never gets into foul trouble, so will be interesting to see how the Paladins go after him on offense and defense.

Belmont has back to back 26 game win seasons. They are supposed to be really good. Ranked # 2 in top 25 mid major poll.
Their top 7 players are back . They will be extremely tough. I hope we can compete, win or lose.

Def. qualifies as a big mid-major showdown
If we keep shooting 45% from 3, it’s no contest. If we dip down to 40%, Belmont has a chance. I feel better about maintaining high percentages this year. The shots look right. I feel like maybe a couple of guys should have been more selfish last year. This is the year finally. The future is now!
