A few observations . 1) Duke and ND play a very weak out of conference schedule and I wonder if it’s done because the coaches are worried about their jobs . I believe if you want to be considered one of the top teams in the country you need to play some of the best teams in the country out of conference . One would hope that whe it’s time to select the teams that make the tournament and their seeds that is taken into account .
2)I think LIU is showing where these top D2 and D3 teams are in relation to D1 teams and it’s not very high . Unlike what many have claimed it seems they would be comparable to the bottom 20 teams .
