From a pure UC perspective we have to root for Houston to beat Memphis to knock them off the bubble but I like Memphis much better than Houston. Bottom line we have to win two games in the conference to have any confidence so micro rooting calculations probably not worth the effort. Go Penny.
 
This Wichita team just isn't what I thought they'd be. I know they are young but I don't see it. The players aren't that good or they don't fit. They will probably win this game but still not as far along as I thought they would be.
 
This season has been far from perfect but with Jarron battling feet issues, a coaching change, and half of a new roster, we are still co conference champs. Houston has a good coach, better roster, and no excuses, and are tied with us. (I know the difference in the schedules). I wish we could have won it out right but I'll take it.

Agreed. I think we were picked to finish 3rd or 4th
 
Unbalanced scheduling helped us a lot this year.

We didn’t have to go Tulsa, & SMU.

Both tough places to win and places where Houston lost.
 
UC also defeated Tulsa by 31 and SMU by 22. Early in the conference but very solid wins. They should play every team home and away each year.

Sure.

But we also lost to tulane and UConn on the road.

Uneven scheduling helped us and I’m totally cool with that. Houston played the toughest schedule of the 3 conference winners.

That’s not the point. The point is... we didn’t have to play Tulsa away. Who also finished first and beat Memphis and Houston and WSU at home.

SMU beat Houston and Tulsa in Dallas. We also didn’t have to go there.

For the resume; it would have been nice to have those 2 opportunities but for the sake of the conference title, it helped us.


Houston had to play uc, Tulsa, Memphis, UConn, WSU, & SMU all twice.

They took Road L’s. To UConn, Memphis, like we did. But also took 2 more road losses to trans we didn’t have to play on the road, Tulsa and SMU


The thing is.... we should have won the league out right. We dropped 2 bombs against ucf and Tulane. The other losses are understandable. And if Houston would have played our schedule, they likely walk away with just 3 losses.

We could win the national championship and he would say we had an easier schedule. If it wasn’t cronin. If it was, it’d be fine. Yes we had an easier schedule. We also had a injured star, a new coach, and half our players were new. This is probably the first year since the inception of the league that we haven’t had the hardest schedule. Houston supposedly has the best coach and best roster. They should have won games. They didn’t.

Jesus you act like I’m making this up. I got the info from other places.

https://mobile.twitter.com/jeremybranham/status/1236784869516234753

The combined record for each teams conference opponent is:
Houston: 168-156, .519
Cincinnati: 157-167, .485
Tulsa: 151-163, .466


I’m not spinning this. Or saying it’s negative.

I’m literally just stating a fact


And if Cronin’s teams played with the piss poor effort this team plays with id call that out just like I’d call out the unbalanced schedule.

It’s not that you’re making it up it’s you latch on to ridiculous things to try and reduce any current success. The schedule was out of the teams control and any inference of wins and losses of unplayed games is purely speculation. Being purely speculation makes it inconsequential.... if it wasn’t I’m sure the league would have included strength of conference schedule in the seeding tie breaker.

You have no idea how games would have played out... that’s why they play the games.

League champs... deal with it.

i was told we'd have no chance to win the league with Brannen because Houston and Wichita had coaches that were so much better than ours.


Nobody said anything about schedules.
