+1. Just keep winning. Listening to post-game last night, Rick says the first thing the team says after Haith is finished is "On to..." sort of taking up the NE Patriots mantra (no delfated balls jokes please) of just play the next one to win. It seems that after the loss to SEOSU this team has taken on a new personality and learned how to focus and play every possession as it is the most important in the game. For the most part, and you are seeing it in the low TO numbers we are having, everyone is playing with that focus and urgency. This same group took possessions "off" last year.
Oh, I agree with that. I just think Cinci and SMU will make it regardless. Then it boils down to whether Tulsa continues this run (which will require 14-4 at minimum) or if UConn wins the tournament.
It doesn't figure into the RPI, but you are right, the committee will notice it. The good news is that it was in December and lots of people had dumb December losses. If we don't have any bad losses from now on, they may discount it. as an outlier.
Once again, just keep winning. The more we win, the more it becomes obvious that it was a fluky outlier.
Especially with the absence of our coach prior to that game
