As the automatic qualifier does that mean if we beat shockers we are in as 12 seed as conference champs even if we win no conference tourney games that’s not for sure
That’s my point it’s like we are written in pencil not ink and he’s just waiting for any loss by us to erase us from the bracket making us win 4 games that’s crapseems a bit odd to have a team on the 12 line and then not also have them in the at-large discussion
So if we win the conference tourney we are a 12 seed then why not wait to see if we win the tournament before we are on the 12 lineNo. It means if TU gets the auto qualifier we are predicted as a 12 seed.
At least we will be on lunardis 12 line until the completion of the Wichita game or until we lose in the conference tourney when we would drop out completely and pray for an nit or CBi gameIt doesn't matter what Lunardi or anyone who tries to predict the bracket thinks. When we got our last at-large, we weren't in anyone's bracket but the committee's.
At least we have something if we lose I feel Wichita will be hard to beat as a win will give them a bid not the same for usIf we win Sunday we are solid with NIT auto bid.
Most of us would have been elated to be playing in the NIT when the season started. While a great accomplishment after being picked to finish 10th in the AAC, I am pretty sure most of this board has the highest hopes we are playing on a bigger stage in 2 weeks.If we win Sunday we are solid with NIT auto bid.
If we win Sunday we are solid with NIT auto bid.
WE are lock for NIT. Our goal, NCAA at 12 seedIf we win Sunday we are solid with NIT auto bid.

Unfortunately we are not... When Harvard and Princeton were co-champs a few years back this was what was said.
"The AQ feature was developed to assure that the conference's regular-season champion - as determined by tiebreak determined by the conference - would be protected to participate in the postseason - either the NCAA or NIT," said NIT president Greg Shaheen, via an email from Ivy League spokesman Scottie Rodgers.
He said if one made it to the NCAA it did not guarantee the other would be in the NIT. They take the team that wins the tie-breaker by conference rules as the "true" champion. We better win to get the auto-lock, otherwise we lose out of tiebreaker and could be left out of NIT as well (we wont our resume is too good but that is a possibility).
Every NIT prediction bracket I have seen this season has Tulsa in the NIT. Usually a three seed.
It would take a monumental amount of upsets in the lower conferences to jeopardize Tulsa's chances to not get invited additionally if co champs are invited then we are already in the NIT.
Beat Wichita St on Sunday and we are in the NCAA Tourney
Time will tell
GO TU!!!
who was that?There has only been one league champion of a Top 7 conference not make the NCAA in history I believe.
who was that?
