All fair points - just to be clear, I'm not sure they're actually a top 20/25 team (haven't watched much of them at all in recent years). I just think their ROS schedule is so bad that their absolute floor is 13-2. In 2022 and 2023 combined, the only team they lost to after mid-March was WNE. Hard to see that changing this year outside of maybe (maybe) Roger Williams; the CCC is not good.SaltCounty wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 7:21 pm This is a stretch given the way their past 2 seasons have ended.
Maybe it will be different this Spring.
But they've regressed as the year goes on the last two.
So until they win a final, this loss is not a good one for Bowdoin.
The difference is that Endicott started 0-4 in 2022 and 3-4 in 2023; they're 5-1 this year. Even if they still can't beat WNE, they would enter the CCC tourney at 13-2 with wins over Bowdoin + Nazareth. Feel like they would get some bottom of the polls attention - especially if they get to 14-1 - because of the record + a few solid wins to in theory show that the record isn't all fluff.
