18th was a bit disappointing but seeing most have 1 or 2 losses and 3 of the teams ahead of us are teams X lost to, it seems reasonable. Looking at Kenpom, X is 23, which seems to indicate the teams with 1 or 2 losses didn't necessarily play cupcake schedules.

X has played a ton of home games plus the neutral court games. Lack of true road games may also be hurting the computer metrics. Getting to the top 10 may take 5 weeks of wins or 2 depending on how long it takes others ahead of X to drop games. Hopefully the team continues to improve and minimize mistakes. This could be a very special year.
