I know you said this in jest (sorta the same was I called us the worst 19-4 team in the MAC a few days ago), but I do have to say this: as painful as wednesday's loss to Toledo was to make, I can't imagine how painful it would have been if that haw ruined a perfect season, a la Tennessee St. over Murray State
The difference is it doesn't end their at large hopes. It just damages their seeding. They are also still winning their conference and will still be ranked. Disappointing for them to say the least but much easier to get over and much less lost.
I think it makes them questionable for at large. Their RPI has dropped to mid-50s (from the 30s). If they lose in the conference tourney, they would likely drop to 70+, which could even knock them off the bubble, although they would have only two losses. Just goes to show that it's not just how many you lose, but when and to whom. Either SE Mo St or SW Mo St was ranked a few years ago but lost their tourney and didn't make the cut.
