Agree. With an RPI in the mid 40's, TU must win 5 of their 8 most difficult games left on the schedule, and of course not slip up against ECU, HOU, and USF.Originally posted by I.I.:
Those 3 games with SMU and Cincy will be huge. Well , I guess ALL are are huge when there is no room for error as an at-large.
I don't think Joe Lunardi or Jerry Palm are clueless, both Cincinnati and SMU have quality OOC wins/losses, whereas TU does not.Originally posted by TU 1978:
So when we beat Cincy and SMU will face palm finally rank us better than them.
Clueless.
I'm with ya', 10-12 are good seeds that can take result in a deep run. I actually don't have much problem with a 7 seed, but 8-9 are brutal, and really require the right draw to get to the 2nd weekend.Originally posted by TUBballJunkie:
Am I the only person who's just fine with a 10 or 11? 8 and 9 are brutal seeds and getting as low as 7 may require winning out and getting to the aac final.

I too am of the belief that TU could miss out on the tourney altogether (even if they finish as regular season Co-Champions) due to not winning the right games and losing the wrong games. One game at a time, every win is a must win until TU's RPI cracks the top 20, which I am not sure that is even possible, even if they run the table through the regular season..Originally posted by ctt8410:
I'm just fine getting any seed.

I'm not sure "draw" is the right word. "placement" might be more accurate as the committee does not want non P5 schools to advance anywhere it seems and will place the best of them meeting each other in the second rounds. Kentucky still had to play their best game of the season to beat WSU last year.Originally posted by TU_BLA:
10 & 11are favorable seeds to make a run and it always comes down to a draw anyway. Wichita St had a #1 seed last year and had the absolute worst draw in the history of the NCAA tournament. It's all about the draw no matter what seed you are

Agree, if you throw out the loss to ORU, TU's RPI would be in much better shape. The other DI losses are quality losses per the RPI and what is likely keep TU in the 40-50 range.Originally posted by drboobay:
I think we are fortunate to be getting consideration with some bad losses and no top 50 wins. But we sure pass the eye test. I think this is the best TU team since 2000 based on current level of play.

The beauty of TU's situation is they control their own destiny, unlike last year and many before, they do not need help achieving their goal. The RPI nonsense will take care of it's self if TU keeps winning.
