Ill use Marquette as an example. They play the following in OOC: Illinois, Mississippi, West Virginia, Kansas St, St Bonaventure, Wisconsin and UCLA. Even if we have 2 more big east wins then them, they should still get in over us.
Shaka is brand new. Hes not hiding behind the "A Mike Anderson team takes time to develop so we cant play anyone in OOC each year" nonsense. Shaka Smart said, "Im brand new and I dont give f#ck. We will play anyone, anywhere."
I think what Shaka has done this year is 100 times better then that stupid "Mike Anderson has never had a losing season" nonsense stat.
That stat for mike anderson is all smoke and mirrors and should never be mentioned again as a positive. Its fluff.
Next year, play an OOC schedule like Marqutte did this year and if we finish the season over .500, Ill give Mike credit.

A lot of BB left to play this year to make judgment on Anderson either way.
