I think you’re discounting Holy Cross far too quickly. They really only have one double digit loss to mediocre competition (Maine). Their other three losses were:
– at College of Charleston, who Pomeroy ranks at #96 in the nation; CoC already beat Clemson and just beat UMass by 24 pts.
– Harvard, who is ranked #30; recently won a tournament by beating Utah, Florida State, and UCF three straight days; their game w/ HC was tight until they pulled away with 9 minutes left for a 9-point win.
– at Fairfield, who is ranked #104; its only bad loss was to Providence; had a good win over Arizona State; clearly one of the MAAC’s top two teams.
Right now, Pomeroy has HC ranked as the #3 PL team and I would agree with that. They have played all year without the injured Cavataio and he should make a difference when he returns.
