#2 Kansas falls on the road to West Virginia, #1 Villanova blows a massive lead and falls at Marquette, and now #4 Kentucky falls on the road to a pretty bad Tennessee team.

This is your periodic reminder that shit happens, and don't freak out when your team has an off night. Oh, and road games are tough for college kids, even against mediocre opposition.
 
I guess it matters a little for us...Iowa State hung on to beat KState. Iowa State blew a 20 point lead in the 2nd half and actually went down by 1 but came back to win by 5. Game was at Iowa State too. They couldn't afford a loss there.

Yeah our performances @Temple and @ECU would've been losses for sure against mediocre teams. I guess if you choose to look at the AAC positively, at least we're shielded from racking up losses when we don't have our A game.

There have been others who have lost against worse competition. The point is it is tough on the road.

The underlying premise is Temple is a poor (or worse than mediocre) team. that being said WVU & FSU have losses to a poor team on a neutral floor, whereas UC beat Temple on the road (& home).
 
And temple just beat Memphis

They hit 11 3's and shot 48%...


It's bad news for Memphis. We are 100% a 2 bid league and if smu drops any games they shouldn't will be a 1 bid league

That's how they shot against us at 5/3rd. We had to play really well to beat them.

Despite Jacob's insistence, they are clearly a dangerous team when they're hitting shots.

When they're not, they're pretty bad.

SMU would need more than 1 bad loss to miss the tournament. They are in pretty good shape at the moment.
 
Rhode Island lost their 7th game tonight. Looking doubtful that they'll make the tourney. I wish we would've been playing man defense when we played them.
