Was about to post about this myself lol.

Not sure about the first question but as far as the second I don't think it'll make for an easier road as they didn't play much of a role for us this season.

I will say however, the road to the NCAAT is more possible as I feel if they aren't in our conference this season, we get the second bid to the tourney.

If USF hadn't lost those four games in December to some awful programs, they would've been the third bid this season. 

Kyle Neptune is not the answer at Villanova. 

VCU at the Sun Dome? I saw Phish there in '95 (and Yes in the Round before that), so no, I won't call it the Yuengling Center. 

24 wins and they’re gonna be on the outside looking in. Man the AAC sucks.

I was watching the Northwestern v Maryland game earlier this evening.

After the game, the guys at the desk on the Big Ten Network commended Northwestern for their 5th quad one win of the season. Maryland?!?!

Maryland is freakin garbage. Most of the Big Ten are really not good. Yet, 80% of that conference rates as quad one teams. 

To me, that's freakin nonsense. Floating teams that amass quad one wins only serves to promote the big conferences who are chock-full of mediocre to pretty terrible teams at the expense of the mid majors.

He was sitting in front of me today

That's awesome! 

Radenko Dobras was (by Spring of '92) a 24 year old smooth as silk, savvy PG.

Loved the 1991-92 season. We beat three ranked teams (two in league play and Iowa), and Florida and FSU, and got the at-large. But 2011-12 was the best ever.

I was on campus (Iota). 2011-12 may have been a better year, but Dobras / Sharp / Lewis / Russell / Alexander would've beaten that team.

Kinda unfair. Very few past USF teams would have gotten up by 25 on a ranked, FF team ....

Maybe not, but I've been in the building in the early 90s where they blew 20 point leads to teams that weren't going to sniff the NCAA tournament. 

FAU with a collective brain fart on that possession down 3 with 20 seconds to go. Coach should've been screaming for a set play for ball rotation to get an open look at a 3. They had 4 three point shooters on the floor. Just stupid. 

I'll take it. 

Why is Pryor back in the game? 

Not a fan of milking the clock like this. Come on. 

These refs are bad. A more seasoned crew waves that penalty off after the 3. 

Apropos of nothing but this barrage all started when the soldout crowd started chanting "overrated" at FAU (when they were down 25 points with like 12 min remaining), as if it wanted to spark a fire under their butts. 

Refs sure like to blow their whistles this half. That's a crap foul anyway.

Time to get Pryor and Placer back in the game.

I'm good with Pryor on the bench. He's a liability in the full court press, period.

Let’s say we win the conference tournament and one game in the dance. Maybe 2. What are the chances we keep our coach? 

I don't think Rahim needs to win the American Conference Tournament to get a lucrative offer to leave USF. He's already going to get one. The only question would be how many programs come clamoring for his services (and that depends on how far he takes the Bulls in March). 

Announcer was saying something about how Stroud was money from the FT line. "I don't care if you shoot 38% or 48% from the line, if you hit them when it counts, you've got it going."

Dude. If the kid shoots 48% from the charity stripe he's got some things to work on. 

I'll take halftime adjustments for $500, Alex?

We were bound to lose one of these games. It happens to the best , especially in basketball were you have multiple games every week and the toll that takes on the body. Having said that  there is still a lot of time in this game, and hopefully we can mount a comeback.

Usually this happens when you're playing a better rested squad, but both teams are playing their 4th game in the past ten days. 

Down 13 to a 3 win Rice squad smacks of a team uncomfortable in first place. Yeah, stranger things have happened, but let's freakin go. 

The ads on this message board are brutal. 

Oh, and USF is alone in first place in the American after UAB beat FAU in OT. 

No, and I mean ZERO, pocket awareness. 

Brutal. 

LOL at the announcers selling it as some amazing play by Evans there. Brown was just completely unaware of his presence. 

Can't have that or he won't be long for this world.

The review didnt matter anyways, we would have declined

It seems like there's been like ten plays that went under review in the 2nd half. That's way too many. I'd rather live with a bad call than have games take 4-5 hours to complete. 

College football is freakin broken with all of these reviews. This is worse than watching a batter step out of the box between pitches to scratch his jock. 

LOL at that pass. What a horrible decision. 

If he were still feeling it from the late hit the play before, CALL A FREAKIN RUNNING PLAY.

Weird challenge. Not even close to his knee being down 

Tactical decision. Yeah, it won't get overturned, but they weren't charged a timeout, but got the benefits of one.
