Games of Importance for the Resume: 2020 Edition

[sedziobs]

I don't think what games they have remaining matters too much. They just need to perform to expectations to stay where they are. 2-3 might be enough.

They were on the road. They are still looking like a Q2 win for us.

Providence got their 7th Q1 win. But they also have 4 bad losses, 2 of which are Q4. Their resume is even tougher to figure out than ours.

Carnage on the bubble so far. Purdue, Miss St, NC St, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Richmond all went down. Huge game for Georgetown at DePaul coming up.

Bad day for our resume, but the bubble got rocked today. Vermont with a head scratcher loss at home to UMBC that might put them back outside the top 75. Houston should stay close to the 30 line with another close road loss. SMU with two consecutive duds to drop them out of Q2.

I think if we beat Houston it knocks them out of the top 30... so it gives a tier 1 win, but steals one as well.

Yes, most likely. They would have a couple more regular season games and then the conference tournament to move back up though.

i would gladly trade a home tier 1 win for a road tier 1 win

Big win for UNC after losing how many 1 possession games in February, thank you!!

Tiny chance, but Rhode Island can shoot themselves in the foot tonight @ Fordham (7-19), hoping for a miracle.

Richmond and Rhode Island won by 1 possession (Rhode Island was losing with 30 seconds left). So close to major help.

Maryland with a HUGE comeback against Minnesota. Down 16 in the second half.

Yeah, I was watching that one. Crazy ending.

South Florida needed OT against East Carolina. They fell to 129, so still barely clinging to Q2. UCF is at 127. Tennessee got killed at Arkansas and fell to 70. Lots of teams on our schedule are sitting close to the cut lines.

Thursday February 27

Indiana @ Purdue
Arizona @ USC
Arizona St @ UCLA

I'm not sure who to root for in Temple @ Wichita St. I suppose Wichita could end up in the top 30 with a strong finish, which would be nice. On the other hand, they are a bubble team that we might be competing with for a spot.
