Tulane is a 1.5 pt favorite.

Tulane is a 1.5 pt favorite.

For shame. Hope we beat them by 30

 

[quincy101]

It seems like the lads have that high energy, tough defense thang figured out, which leads to improved O, which leads to W's. Hope it remains true this afternoon.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Uconn battling tough with Villanova until the last five minutes of the half. Four or five turnovers in the last five by Uconn, and Villanova shooting 6 of 11 from three has Villanova up by 6. If it continues like it has for the last five, Villlanova will jump that to a big lead in the second half..

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Uconn loses to Villanova by 6, in a game that was even closer than the final score. Uconn led for much of the second half, and Uconn trailed by 2 with 30 seconds or so in the game. They just went down the court 3 times and couldn't get a basket, then fouled, with The Ville with them making their free throws.

So, what is the potential bump to our NET between our double digit road win, Houston beating WSU on the road and KState thumping WVa?

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

I’m guessing we’ll be at 89.

 

[TulsaFan01]

I’m hoping for 69.. For obvious reasons..

Barrister? Is that you?

All depends on the teams above us in the rest of the net. I think 85-89 is reasonable

 

[ctt8410]

We’ll be around 92. The most significant result of the day is Houston’s because that finally gives us a Q1 win.

 

[drboobay]

Houston would need to jump to 35 to give us a q1 win right?

BSU pulled off a comeback win against USU so that will help.

 

[nevadanatural]

Yes and with a road win against a top-10 NET should do that easily.

 

[loca2874]

Only 1 game today. We had good movement up and just as I predicted we did jump UConn.

Cincinnati obliterated ECU

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Cincinnati obliterated ECU

They flipped us and Houston on the Espn conference standings. That's a little aggravating. As far as I know they are supposed to put it in order of finish, not alphabetical. I guess they changed the order of the alphabet when they got down to SMU and Wichita St.

The American uses the overall record as the tie breaker so even though we beat Houston their record is better than ours. As long as we finish in the top 5 I am happy lol

 

[loca2874]

Only 2 games today and nothing to write home about. No significant moves in the standings. ECU though can play spoiler to teams in the conference though.

Oh I realize what they are doing, I just saw us go up on Saturday, and it irritated me that they changed it on Sunday. For just a few hours, we were on top.

 

[drboobay]

Why the hell would they use overall record as a tiebreaker. Punishes based on SOS

 

[Gold*]

I wouldn’t complain about our SOS this year.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Weird since the official tiebreaker rules start with head to head first.

That's only for seeding in the Conference Tournament. For the regular season standings its Conference Record and Overall Record.

I took a quick screen shot . May be the last time on top !

That's just ESPN's way of listing. It's been that way forever.

Not only that but we also beat Houston head to head...so if the season ended today, we would be the #1 seed based on that alone.

Except for bumming tickets off TUBla, box score Aston is expectedly silent after the Memphis beatdown.

Two wins over AP Top 25 teams now

Lmao. It was a great win which was very exciting to see. I was very happy with the way Haith had our team prepared. It seemed like Memphis just wasn’t ready to play against our zone.
