Still rolling. With a mediocre GW team at home to close the regular season out, it appears UD will go undefeated in conference.
Currently, No. 4 in KenPom, No. 3 in NET and No. 3 in the AP poll.
It's been an incredible ride. Hope we can close out with a conference tourney championship next week.
One interesting stat I came across, Pomeroy's A10 player of the year:
- Obi Toppin
- Fats Russell
- Jalen Crutcher
- Jordan Goodwin
- Trey Landers
It's clear Toppin is the star of the show, and Crutcher seems like a first-team conference lock, but I think Landers (and Mikesell to a lesser degree) really gets overlooked. Everybody talks about him as a glue guy, but he's put up great numbers. He does a little bit of everything on offense, scores very efficiently and plays stout defense.
Double-bye in the A10 tournament. Hope they can bring the trophy home from Brooklyn.

Real bummer of a way to end the season, but I suppose precaution over a pandemic wins out.
It's cool they got to finish the 18-0 conference season, and in a strange way this allows the season to end on a note of optimism. There's no loss in the semifinal of the conference tournament or upset in the NCAA tournament.
They closed the season on a 20-game winning streak. I choose to remember them as invincible.

Toppin wins Naismith Trophy.
Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
