I expect WSU will move back into Q2. TCU and SC are bouncing around. Our tournament chances may rest on how they finish even more than how we do.

In particular if the committee decides they are interested in good wins vs bad losses comparison as they do sometimes. So many good games means even a bad winning percentage means a bigger actual number than a weaker conferences upset regular season champ had.

For example:
We may go say 3-5 in q1 and 5-6 in q2 the committee will be like "they had 8 q1 and q2 wins and zero q3 or q4 losses." While Liberty finished the season with only 3 q1 games and 4 q2 games, they went 6-1 but were upset by a q3 team in the tournament and another in the regular season. Committee says "well Liberty only had 3 q1 wins and just 6 q1 and q2 with those bad losses so we put Tulsa in."

We use to hate that being the Liberty school in that scenario in our past conferences. Now it might work out for us in a much better AAC.

SMU up by 10 at half

TCU up by 1 on Kansas and the score is 19-18. It’s a barn burner

 

[I.I.]

Memphis moving toward at large bid if win at SMU Hope SMU can hold them off.

Crazy ending. SMU survives.

Crazy ending. SMU survives.

We definitely could sweep them if we play up to our ability. They could barely pull off a 2 pt win at home and lost by 6 on the road. They are bit overrated, as I and others thought.

I bet Memphis moves up a few spots.

That was crazy. I was chastizing Memphis for clock management when they ran off that 10 seconds

 

[TU4ever2]

TCU should as well. We need to go ahead and sweep the ponies to have the nice matching set to go with Memphis.

 

[I.I.]

SMU looked terrible the last half that I saw. They had third in line coach and looked confused. Glad to see Memphis lose after the pundits (ESPN) were pushing for them to get an at-large so people could get a chance to see Penny in the big dance.

Only one game today and it is not one to write home to mama. These are the updated Rankings. There was a little movement. Nothing substantial
