ITS GAMEDAY!!!!
Today The Men travel to Dallas to take on SMU. While our season doesn’t really matter anymore until the conference Tourney, we can still shake up the standings and affect others seedings in the tournament. So its time to play spoiler for the rest of the regular season.
I have been posting in the “And 1” what the tournament would look like as of right now. Today we have some games that can make a massive change to that lineup.
Houston is visiting Tulane and Houston doesn’t play exceptionally well on the road. Tulane is having their best season in like forever. This could get on upset watch. Houston cannot afford to lose another game as it will greatly affect their seeding in the NCAA tournament for which they should be a lock regardless of how they do in the Conference Tournament.
Cincinnati is visiting UCF. Why is this significant? UCF just passed Cincinnati on Sunday when they won and Cincinnati lost.
If SMU beats up and Tulane beats Houston then SMU will take over first place in the conference standings.
We also have 2 make up games in the “Rest of the GOI” area.
