NJIT got one point? How do you just get one point? Don't all coaches have to at least vote for them to finish last.
Unless 6 of the teams just forgot that NJIT was even in the the league.

It looks like Lipscomb...
and everyone else. With conference tourney at Lipscomb, seems to be no-brainier they will be the only ASUN team going to post season. None of the other teams will have a high enough RPI given their weak non-conference schedules.

None of the other teams will have a high enough RPI given their weak non-conference schedules. That was what everybody thought last year too. Then a Jacksonville team that had a pretty mediocre regular season won the conference tournament.

However, they will need to beat some of the better teams there to get a quality win, and I don't think they have the firepower to do it.

FGCU with Kazarian has the best shot to surprise at tourney time, IMO. JU will be ok but not sure they will be able to overcome the loss of Strausbaugh to repeat. Of course, anything can happen but it appears Lipscomb, especially hosting tourney, has a big gap on the others. BTW, love the fact ASUN is being discussed on VT!

I was looking at some rosters and noticed that UNF has a transfer OH from LSU. Don't know much about her but she didn't see much action at LSU and I believe red shirted sand. UNF is coming off a mediocre season and lost two key seniors to graduation leaving two big holes. With McGuire graduating, they only have a total of 4 MB and RS on the roster including the transfer. That doesn't leave any backups on the bench unless they run a 5-1. Also, not sure who will try and replace ASUN DPOY Whitmire at libero, Ferguson, Fessler or true fresh Laborde. Guessing Fessler will get the nod to begin with but that will be big shoes to fill. I look for Alyman to continue to be impressive- picking up where she finished last season. Their OOC schedule appears really weak to me so it will be interesting to see if they are prepared to truly challenge a Lipscomb, FGCU and JU.
