GAMES OF INTEREST (2.17.24 - 2.20.24) RICE

I said it first, #9 or #10. We will win 1 or 2 more games.(Three if we get on a hot streak, but I doubt it.)

If we win one game, Wichita St and Temple would have the best chance of tieing us, as long as one of their wins was against us. Rice could exceed our conf record if we only win one, but I doubt that happens either.

Tulane is losing 2 possibly 3 games

Rice has 3 on the road so I believe they will lose them so that should take them out.

East Carolina could lose 3 but they are three games ahead of us. We lose 2 or they win 1 then we cant make 8.

North Texas has the easiest schedule and could run the table as they have FAU at home and FAU doesnt play well against decent teams on the road.

Wichita State has the next easiest and could pass us up. if we dont either win 3 or a combo of 2 wins and WSU 2 losses.

Wichita has the best chance of finishing ahead of us, but that puts them at #9 and us at #10. Still a 10 finish. But we have to win 1 and Wichita has to beat us and finish with 3 wins. That's not easy for them.
 
Does Penny make it another season ?
It’s funny because when the game announcers were talking about the Memphis team they said “who’s going to be here in four years other than Penny?” Even though he recruits great then massively underachieves year after year, because of who he is, I don’t think he’s going anywhere unless he wants to. This is also the belief of the Memphis fans, even the disgruntled ones.

That only lasts so long. I don't think it will be four years, if he monumentally underachieves like he has been. He has 6 years in already.
 
From the Dockery Finch Board : Penny postgame— “F—ing losing like this — this is terrible, man. This is not competing at all. I don’t know what’s going on.”

Response from Memphis poster : "Surprising he was so vague and dumbfounded, I was expecting a full comprehensive breakdown of the teams flaws."

If you didn’t watch that FAU at South Florida game you were dead wrong. That was an awesome game to watch. There was some shake up in the standings. FAU is now 3rd. AS the standings were Tulsa would play North Texas and then FAU. Now Tulsa would play Charlotte if they beat North Texas. There is a 3 way tie for 6th so all of it is still up in the air on where the seedings will land. The only thing for certain is unless there is a total collapse by one of the three teams and Tulsa wins out the best we can do is 9th.

That ECU game still bugs me. One rebound in two chances at the end of that game and we win.

Texas A&M commerce defeated incarnate word last night in a close game that ended in a brawl. You can see the video online. There is no official cause of the brawl. This is still under investigation
