We should cheer for Tulsa and USF to win every remaining game.

Tulsa can become a Q1/Q2 win for us and USF can stay Q2 for us.

UConn is another team right on the brink of Q1/Q2 but with their injury situation I expect them to trend down as the season wraps up.

Definitely agree about Tulsa. I think they'll finish top 75 if they can just win their three remaining games against Tulane and ECU plus Wichita at home.

I'm not so sure about USF. It might be better to have more tournament quality teams in our conference, which means UCF and Temple need to do well. Temple could also be a Q1 game in the conference tourney if they can get to the top 50. USF still has games against Temple, UCF and UConn. I wouldn't mind if they got bumped from Q2 by losing those games, since that could mean UCF home and @UConn could move into Q1.

I agree that getting Temple as a Q1 in the conference tourney (likely semis) would be great. I think they can lose to USF and still achieve that.

I think it'll be tough for UCF to hit top 30 with how difficult their remaining schedule is. I'm not banking on it to be honest. I hope at the very least they can stay top 50 in case we do cross paths in Memphis.

If UConn can win at SMU next week then I'll have a slightly renewed hope for their Q1 prospects. I think they're a lost cause though.

I wonder if the value of wins against teams we play twice would be worth more or less than a single team moving into a different quadrant. There are quadrants and there are metrics in play. It's probably small potatoes when talking about 1 team here or there. Not sure 1 team will help us with a seed line but I guess it could if we are neck and neck with another team.

Cant decide who to root for in this Memphis/UCF game. Im leaning UCF I suppose. Memphis will probably be never more than a Q1/Q2. UCF could be a Q1 on a neutral floor in conf tourney and outside shot at Q1 at home. Could be thinking this wrong though.

Ole Miss lost by 15. They drop to 35 in NET.

UNLV won by 10 on the road but only rose to 159 in the NET. If they could somehow win 3 of their last 4 games (SDSU, @Nevada, Boise St, @Colorado State) and possibly SDSU again in the 4/5 seed game of the MW tournament (which they're hosting), they have a good shot at hitting Q2 for us.

Wednesday, February 20 games

Miss St (NET 27) @ Georgia

Xavier (NET 94) @ Seton Hall
7:00 PM

Tulane @ Memphis (NET 64)

Wichita State @ Tulsa (NET 74)

If somebody else wants to add the games for teams competing for a similar seed then go ahead.

Miss State makes a free throw in the final second of the game to win @Georgia. Our resume in turn is not affected and Miss State's seeding shouldn't be either.

Xavier blows a late lead but still holds on to win by 1 @Seton Hall. They should see a big boost in NET come today and could possibly finish Q2 for us if they keep up this solid run of play.

Memphis blows out Tulane at home.

Wichita shocks Tulsa on the road with a blowout win. Tulsa most certainly will now drop to Q2/Q3 for us from Q1/Q2. We need them to win @Temple or @Memphis down the stretch to jump back up for us.

Washington and Auburn have big wins at home, while St. John's loses big @Providence.

Will update with today's games once NET is updated.

Thursday February 21st Resume Games

Youngstown State @ NKU (NET 109)
7:00 PM

UConn (NET 83) @ SMU
9:00 PM

Oregon State @ UCLA (NET 116)
11:00 PM


To follow up on my earlier post, Tulsa dropped 19 spots today and now sits at 93. Wichita, in turn, rose 18 spots and now sits at 95. We should definitely pull for Wichita to win its remaining regular season games.

Tulsa is basically back to where they were before their blowout win over Temple a couple weeks ago. It would really be nice if one of Tulsa, Wichita or UConn can finish top 75.

Xavier only moved up 5 spots to 89.

NKU won by 7 and rose 1 spot to 108.

UConn lost by 18 and dropped 13 spots to 96. SMU, in turn, rose 8 spots to 100. UConn has lost 4 in a row and SMU has a farily difficult remaining schedule so it's likely both teams are locked into the Q2/Q3 zone for the remainder of the year.

UCLA blew a double-digit 2nd half lead against Oregon St but got the go ahead basket with 20 seconds left to win by 1 at home. They rose one spot to 115.
