Penn state and Towson are SB's toughest games and PSU is barely ranked. The thing is they are definitely skilled enough to play those teams.


SBU beat USC, Stanford, NU, Towson and Denver. All top 25 teams. They have Penn State, Hopkins and Cornell left. Again, all top 25 teams. Their conference is weak, they can't help it. They have tried to keep Florida and ND on they schedule, those two schools backed out.

SBU has a competitive and challenging schedule. Some of their non-conference scheduled teams are having down years. Can't help it. Schedule was made last year. They are #1 and should hold the spot until they lose. Seeding for tournament ? We will see.


Compare their schedule to any of the top programs.

Maryland
North Carolina
Syracuse
Penn State
Florida
Duke
Virginia
Penn
Princeton
Notre Dame
Boston College
Northwestern


Not sure they would have such an impressive regular season record if they played Northwesterns schedule.

Maybe this is the year they can make a run in the tournament. It would be awesome to see them in the championship.
