Games of Importance for the Resume: 2020 Edition

My first thought is that's a charge on JC. Great D by the SDSU player.

Welp

TCU takes a huge dump and squanders a huge lead against Oklahoma

 

[sedziobs]

South Florida squeaked by SMU, so they should stay Q2. Vermont won by 10 to advance to the America East semis. Yale lost to Harvard by 14, so that should end any chance of an at-large for them. Wofford beat Furman, which makes the path a little easier for E Tennessee St in the SoCon. Providence and Arizona St won, which probably makes them locks. Rhode Island and Miss St stay alive with wins.

Butler beats Xavier on a three with one second left.

 

[mdchick]

So are we rooting for WSU or Tulsa

 

[sedziobs]

I'm rooting for Tulsa. I think an extra Q2 win and a loss for bubbly Wichita is more important for our NCAA tournament chances than the conference title. YMMV.

If a Tulsa loss gives us the #1 seed, that’s what I want. If not, Tulsa for the win and it’s not even close. Done with WSU and their overrated coach.

And of course the Tulsa @ Wichita St game has huge implications either way.

As you said, it's huge either way but I'm going for wsu so that, if we get there, we don't have to play Houston again until the championship. I think if we're playing on selection Sunday, then we're in. But either scenario will benefit us.

Yep, I am always rooting for banners.,I know the league doesn’t acknowledge regular season champs but teams do. Being able to say we won a share of the league title, in a rebuilding year, is great. It is also a great thing for the program and something brannen can use in recruiting going forward. Basically saying, we are still here, to the rest of the league. That’s more exciting than a tier whatever win.

Cheering for Houston over Memphis today to thwart the Tigers' tournament chances all the more.

I don't think their game has any major implications on our AAC tourney seeding/match-ups.

 

[mdchick]

Only reason I’m rooting for Tulsa is it’s a way easier run for us in the conference tournament if we are the 1 seed, WSU loses in the quarters vs Memphis than they are still probably out.

If Tulsa wins i get it hurts wichita but we would have a tough quarterfinals matchup and then a tough semis vs Houston, where as if we were the #1 we would have a tough semis but not as tough as it would be against Houston

I think if Tulsa wins they are the #1 seed as they will win the regular season conference title outright. The only chance UC has of becoming the #1 seed is in a tie with Tulsa, over whom it holds the tiebreaker.

Yeah I messed that up I meant I’m rooting for wichita

 

[mdchick]

Memphis is beating houston at the half

 

[mdchick]

Houston is about to beat Memphis, which is good

 

[sedziobs]

UCF beat East Carolina by 32, so they should definitely stay in Q2.
