Win the next 3 games and we'd have to totally collapse to not make it.
If we go 4-2 the rest of the way and win 1-2 in aac tourney we will get in....

I wouldn't be feeling safe at all if we did that
Need to get over that real quick. The conference tourney won't be at home and neither will the NCAA. Time the Cats got this figured out.Me either. Honestly, we can't afford any more losses. I know that might not be realistic but I think we can only have one more loss. Winning at Tulsa and/or Houston is going to be tough for our team. Especially with how inconsistent they are on the road.
But the madness goes much deeper than just the top of the poll. Among the resources we use to help select and seed teams for the tournament are several computer metrics. Each week we receive a composite ranking of six metrics, and a quick glance of that shows discrepancies up and down the list. For example, Indiana ranks much higher in the Sagarin and Ken Pom rankings compared to the RPI and the BPI. You see similar disparities in various rankings for teams such as Arizona, Dayton, UConn, Cincinnati and Gonzaga. But the process isn't solely analytical. We all evaluate teams by watching and evaluating their play from November through early March, taking other things into consideration such as coach and player availability.

Hope you guys don't mind the intrusion in the board, but I thought this might interest you. I put together a list of games/times/channels of teams near Butler on the bubble. With Cincinnati being right next to Butler on the bubble these will apply for you guys as well.

First four in on Joe Lunardi's bracketology. We win these next three I really like our chances. I want to be out of the first four in and into the safe area by time the AAC tourney rolls around.
