Heads up: St Mary's vs Tulsa

[ctt8410]

This one's a tough call. Tulsa's 2 best wins are better, but 2 worst losses are worse. The committee typically frowns on 18 games against 200+, but St Mary's OOC SOS (158) wasn't 2014 SMU bad. It's really just that their conference stunk this year. If TU advances to the AAC final and improves in the computers, I think we have the edge based on the better wins, but it's close.

Us only have good wins vs one team was talked about a lot last year as a reason to not put us in.
47 twice as your best win seems like a long shot IMO.

If we win on Friday, WSU's RPI may climb higher than Gonzaga's, then all 3 of our top 50 wins are better than St. Mary's 2 against the same team.
