Looks like their best win is Sacred Heart on a neutral floor in Las Vegas, but they have played some strong teams in non-conference (Butler, Oklahoma). They also won at Sacramento on Thursday.

How in the hell does a division I basketball team shoot 19% from the free throw line for a regular season game?

Oh, that's right, they miss 17 of the 21 attempts that they take.

So much for 2-0 in conference play.

I saw something like that back in high school. We discovered after the game that one of the basket supports had sagged, causing one particular basket to be two inches shorter than regulation. We were 1 for 2 in the first half, and something like 3 for 20 in the second half on FT's, shooting at the other basket.

Sorry, the best explanation I have.
