I'd have to say that looking at the season thus far, and the rest of the way, Coach K-Mac is a genius for his scheduling alone.
My case for raising him to that level.
Right now according to the rpi, which I think is more improtant that the polls, XU is #30.
The have good wins (over top 100 rpi teams) over Indiana, LSU, Kentucky, Mich State and Georgia. Only one loss to a team over 100 rpi (Cincinnati).
His SOS ranking is at #36, pretty lofty for little Xavier? Lofty but necessary because he has 16 games left in the regular season, and 8 of those are against teams with rpi less than 100. I would guess he and his staff new the A-10 was rising to this lofty status, and the out of conference season was scheduled to prepare this group for a very difficult road.
Best of luck, I think they are as ready as they can be!
