...Finally, we’d be remiss if we did not mention Tulsa (12–8, 6–2), even though the tournament field would need to be about 76 teams deep for the Golden Hurricane to have a chance with its present résumé. The reason they’re in the Bubble Watch for the first time all season, then? They’re 6–2 with home games against Cincinnati and SMU this week. If they can somehow win both of those, we’ll have to take them seriously as a bubble team. If they split, they’ll at least be on the fringes of the discussion. If they lose both, well, then we’ll point to their three losses to teams with kenpom.com ratings of 183 or worse and call it a day.

- Thread starter Tulsa_
- Start date
That's some serious motivation!
We can win tonight but we need 6-7 guys to play very well and a couple more playing well to make it happen.
Do you have the link? This is a benefit of playing in such a solid league. Even with UCONN/Temple having their struggles, although each could trend upwards by end of season, AAC has 5 teams in the RPI top 100, with 2 more close behind; TU (106), UCF (110).
If we were in the CUSA today (which is basically the same as it was our last year in the conference, besides WKU); there would be 1 team in the RPI top 100: MTSU at #38.
