You keep listing our win versus Memphis as a Q2. It was a Q1 win at the time wasn’t it?

Unless I am wrong it goes by what their current rank is. That is why it is listed as a Q2. If they could start stringing some wins together then it will be looking better. If I am wrong then you are correct it would be a Q1 win.

 

[Gold*]

I don’t think they will string many wins together. They are lost at sea without a paddle and their coach hasn’t managed a boat outside of Grand Lake. Hope they prove me wrong.

I am hoping that win gave them some confidence. so that they can start dominating some teams so they can move nack up to under 30 to make it a Q1

 

[nevadanatural]

Yes, quadrant wins/losses are determined by current rankings.

Face it, we broke Memphis. Since we beat them they’ve looked horrible.

 

[astonmartin708]

I'm hoping Houston will win against everyone but us and climb into the Q1 category for us as a home win and a road win.

 

[TU_BLA]

Face it, we broke Memphis.

Truth. They looked slow, sluggish, and disinterested in the game yesterday. It almost looks like the Jets after week 5 of the NFL season and just trying to get through the rest of the schedule.

Well I would like for them to get mended. As long as we take care of our business then we should be fine. There are 11 games left in the regular season. win them all and we are 25-6. win 2 games in the tourney (losing the championship game) we finish 27-7. that should be good enough to make the tourney.

Coming from a Jets fan, perfect analogy.

That is dream season territory. We will lose more conference games I just hope we keep them to 3 or less.

If we finish the AAC at 17-1, we are in the tourney...doing anything in the AAC tournament would only improve/hurt seeding. If Frank pulls that off, he's getting a 5 year extension the day after the regular season ends w/ add'l $ for his assistants and recruiting budget.

And then Frank gets to fly privately to UCONN, pull up to Hurley's office and give him the finger!

Don't squash our dreams!!!!

I said coming into conference season, 14-4 is needed to get an at-large, I just didn't believe we were capable of doing that based on some of the crappy OOC games we lost. I do believe it now...just like I believed the football team could win 8 games if we had a good HC.

It's not just me right? This basketball team has a different vibe about it

You are such a buzz kill

 

[drboobay]

A nice run by uconn could get us a q1 road win as well. But must best them next week.

 

[loca2874]

Arkansas State and UT Arlington both lose. That might hit our ranking a bit.

Austin Peay is destroying SIU-E

 

[loca2874]

GOI went 1-2 yesterday with Arkansas State and UT Arlington laying eggs.

No Games today. Get rested for Saturday. There will be a full slate. Everyone in the conference will be playing tomorrow.

Ummm... sorry to contradict you, but this information cannot be correct. When they pounded us, UTA was an experienced team that was going to the tourney. Not a 9-13 Sunbelt team.

What does that have to do with the fact that UT Arlington and Arkansas State both lost yesterday and Austin Peay won?

Sarcasm alert Sheldon.

Yeah I didn't get it. weird??!!

My sarcasm is below junior high level. I’ll be making fart jokes next.

I will await the fart jokes. lol

I'm kind of torn on this. I really want Uconn to have an overall losing record in the American when they leave.

I look at it this way. If it helps TU then I am ok with it. IF it doesn't then I want the worst for them.

 

[loca2874]

We are off Joe Lunardi's latest bracket. We currently aren't in 1st because of Houston playing earlier this week. In his latest discussion he actually has us locked out because of our Strength of Schedule.

Makes sense. Win tomorrow and that will be 3 wins against teams in the Top 25 at the time.
