Sorry, Rocky - missed Vermont when setting up the poll. Someone pointed it out in the thread, but only after >50 people had responded, so opted to leave it off.
Scoopers finish the regular season 20-9 (presumably 21-9, had Vermont not been accidentally left off the survey). Difficult to overstate how bad that DePaul loss was, and it proved the difference between finishing in the bottom half of the conference as opposed to the 4th or 5th place Big East finish Scoopers had predicted.
