To phrase what Patty is saying here differently, we’ve only lost to Portland/LMU/Pacific/BYU/Pepperdine/USD ONCE in the last two years. 22-1 in the WCC the last two seasons plus the beginning of this year against teams not named Gonzaga, Saint Mary’s or USF.
It was a game against Pacific sandwiched between roadies @SMC and @GU.
Which is to say, Herb has been very consistent against the WCC also-rans since the COVID year. It’s easy to beat those teams on paper, but hard to do in practice.
All that said, I agree 10-0 against them will be tough this year… but if we have a big complaint against Herb for the last few years, it really can’t be our WCC performance against RPI/NET 150+ squads.
