Temple is 9-40 FG 6-14 FT 0-9 3 PT FG...where was that against us?

They are probably wondering the same thing. We scored 55 points in the second half at home against Temple. There have been 8 games this season where Cincinnati has not scored more than 55 points the entire game.

Tulsa looks legit, they are extremely athletic, looks like they have a good home court advantage as well. They also are playing with a chip on their shoulder with being the first 4 out. That will be a very tough win for us.

They are a worse offensive team than Cincinnati. If UC is focused like they were @SMU in the second half, I think that game is winnable.

Clark forget Evans

Your dreaming about Clark at the three.

Daniel Hamilton averages over 7 boards a game and played the 4 today.

Doesn't change what I said about Clark. He doesn't have the range or handle to play the three. Could he play there in spots? Sure but at this stage I can't see him as an everyday three though at one time I thought he might be able to.

Who said anything about Clark being a 3?

I don't think Evans to Hamilton is the right comparison. Evans has played PG some in HS and Hamilton is over 7 reb per game and currently playing the 4 spot in college. Comparing Clark to him doesn't mean Clark has to move to the 3. Anyway, I agree that we don't ever need to have 2 other big guys on the floor with Clark. But it'd be nice to see him playing more stretch 4 facing the basket over time.

So now UC, Temple and Memphis with 5 losses. Bearcat_NTS where does that leave things currently?

Not directed at me, but the answer is "sucky and surrounded by suck"

Couple interesting games this week...UConn @ECU Wednesday...SMU @ Memphis on Thursday...Tulsa @ Memphis Saturday...SMU @ UConn Sunday

I know Temple is a half game ahead and with our loss to Memphis we're in 5th?

4th better overall record

4th better overall record

In terms of the conference tournament they only take into account your conference play. The overall record has nothing to do with the conference tournament seedings.

That sounds right to me. I think if we ended with the same record as Memphis, and split with them in our 2 matchups, we'd have the tiebreaker though.

In a 3 team tie-breaker, you first look at records against each other....

Temple: 2-1 .667
Memphis: 1-1 .500
Cincinnati: 1-2 .333

So in this scenario Temple would be 3, Memphis 4 and Cincinnati 5. If two teams have the same record in this mini-conference, that is where the sweep of SMU comes in handy as that is the next tie-breaker.

However Memphis @ Temple and Memphis @ Cincinnati still remain.

not to be a jerk but temple and Memphis only play once this year and that's already happened they don't play again.

That being said if there was a 3 way tie Temple would be the 3 seed and the winner of the Memphis cincy game would be the 4 and the loser would be the 5.

Memphis has a brutal ending to there season, I would say from here ours is the second most favorable and temple to me is a lock at that 3 seed.

Temple still needs us to lose in order to get the 3 seed.

It's a little strange because they're currently ahead of us, but we control our own destiny and they do not. Currently, Memphis being in a 3 way tie is keeping them above us. We play Memphis. If we win out, we will jump Temple on tiebreakers.
