Games of Interest (2.9.20 and 2.10.20)

[loca2874]

The GOI took a massive hit for us yesterday. Pretty much every team we played lost. IF we needed a team to win they didn't. To make it even worse. ORU has now dropped to a Q4 win. We need to make some noise today.

In todays games as I see it we need Tulsa to win (obviously) along with UConn. The other two are a toss up but I'll take Houston over WSU. With Memphis losing yesterday I really think they are out of the tournament. Unless someone other than WSU or Houston wins the AAC tourney I really think this might be a two bid league this year.

Ucf is favored by two. It’s going to take a good effort, but if we keep turnovers reasonable I think we win

We need to bounce back in a big way. If we play our regular game we will do well

 

[loca2874]

Cincinnati jumped out on UConn

 

[loca2874]

Here comes UConn

 

[loca2874]

9 straight points by UConn. They are back in this game

 

[loca2874]

Whaley has been a blocking machine

I think Ucaint beating cincy will help us

I think Ucaint beating cincy will help us

I agree with you especially since it’s our only Q1 win. UConn finishing with a 16-2 run to be up by 4 at half

UConn will beat Cincy
WSU will win at Houston
Tulsa will crush UCF

I'll finish 1-2 on my guesses/predictions. I'm laughing at how bad they were. Houston is up 71-39 with just over a minute to go. I'm surprised I called the UConn win correctly...but it was just barely.

 

[aTUfan]

was this upside down week in the conference? all the bottom team beat the top teams.

On the bright side, we’ve got two Q1 wins now

 

[drboobay]

I assume that with the margin of Houston's win.

 

[I.I.]

SMU ands UCONN have the easiest schedules remaining.

 

[loca2874]

Well yesterday sucked eggs especially since we culd have made a good move in the conference standings. Good thing is now we have two Q1 wins. Bad thing is we have to run the table to even think about being considered a bubble team to be considered for an at large. We might be relegated to the conference tourney now. We will see as we have 8 games left. Our magic number to get a bye in the Conference tourney is 7.

Today we have some real barn burners. lol
