"hc hoops" sez on the hoops discussion board: "to answer my own question, belmont won the north division of the d-1 atlantic sun conf last year-troy st won the tourney and the ncaa bid-i guess they're not bad"

I'm not sure its so much that they aren't bad that it is Navy isn't good. Don't get me wrong, they're a solid group, with a 141 RPI. But Navy just sucks. I'm not sure how they expect to get more than five DI wins this year. Look at their upcoming OOC schedule:

-Air Force is going to beat them by 15
-James Madison used to spend its time beating up AU, now it's going to beat up Navy
-UCF is decent and will probably win in double digits
-They have 2 non-DI games scheduled, then they get to lose to Ohio and Rice, who are both good teams.
-SMissouri is going to beat them, and Eastern Michigan is a tossup.

The only two games they OUGHT to win are against Mt. St. Mary's and Loyola (which needs to join the NEC if they want to compete in hoops).

It's going to be a long year for Donny D and Navy hoops fans.  @ 3:46 PM
