Appears the AAC is going to have a number of teams on the NIT bubble.

Good possibility

 

[loca2874]

UCF up by 7 on SMU with 7 min left

 

[loca2874]

ORU is blasting South Dakota
Memphis up by 11 on UConn

Just cause I find it hilarious

UMBC has a better record then we do

 

[loca2874]

ORU and Memphis both won. Watching The Houston and Cincinnati game now

 

[I.I.]

Houston and Cincinnati have separated themselves from the rest of the AAC it seems.

East Carolina up 26-15 on USF. That would be a shocker superseded only by the win over Cincy.

Houston pulls off the win.

We are currently sitting in a 3 way tie for 8th with us on top of the three.

That would give me concern when we play them a week from today

Yes a big surprise if they win on the road. At home though, ECU can be tough.

 

[drboobay]

Sort of like us so far!

 

[loca2874]

USF pulled it out in overtime

 

[TU 1978]

Just wait until the hammer comes down on Kelvin and kitty is on probation.

Wow, our NET improved to 81 today. Let's hope for a couple of big wins this week and to creep into the 70s.

 

[mcane]

after Sunday's results, TU may be in the 70s. Ws on the road at Tulane and ECU, particularly 10+ wins will push TU towards 60, my guesstimate.

The year we got the 11 seed was almost entirely due to upsetting Wichita here and winning at SMU.

Not suggesting we have that opportunity this year, but we have 7 top 100 wins this year (conference, plus OSU, KSU and Dayton) so far with opportunities on the road at Temple and Memphis still ahead.

The season is not over and we need not yet write Haith's epitaph.

 

[lawpoke87]

We will have to win the conference tourney to dance. 11-7 gets us in the NIT imo. Probably should win a conference road game before we start talking about winning out fwiw

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Obviously, the Cincy loss stings.

But, I wonder where we would be with different Utah and SMU results.

The SMU game was one of the worse games we’ve played in a couple of years.

 

[loca2874]

No GOI tomorrow. Rankings will be posted in the net rankings thread

 

[Gmoney4WW]

We won't beat Memphis and Temple at home. We might get one of them, we might not, but we won't get both of them. A 6-1 finish is the best I can hope for, worst case is probably 4-3.

Don't disagree at all Gmoney, if we take care of business and win the Tulane and E. Car. games home and away, knock off Wichita which is doable. The road games at Temple and Memphis will make the difference.

Personally not afraid of either of those teams but we have struggled on the road so there is that.

Tulsa vs Memphis might have a NIT bid on the line.

Tourney will be important as well.

Memphis probably beats us if its a "beauty contest" for a NIT bid.

We need them to lose some games lol.

GO TU!!!!
