They said that was the only way we would get in, not with an at large bid ........ Based off of the records of our remaining opponents, we can win with or w/o winning the AAC tournament. We have 13 games left. Five of those teams currently have losing records and the rest either have the same record or more losses than us. Once again, what makes it a long shot for us to make the tournament? I'm not claiming that we will go to the tournament, but I don't see the "longshotiveness" of it all lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power conferences can get away with that. We did in 2012. very true. I understand the reasoning for the extremely weak OOC schedule, but this is the downside of it. Now we could win this conference, its really not that good. That being said any postseason this year is a huge accomplishment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not claiming that we will go to the tournament, but I don't see the "longshotiveness" of it all lol what makes us a longshot is our current NET is 130. To get an at large we need to be like top 40-50. The conference is also not really good, only potential quality win left is FAU. I suppose you could win out get wins in the Conference tourneyt and lose in the championship game and find your way in. That being said its a long shot. I also suspect we drop atleast a few games down the stretch.

A week ago, 14 of the AP Top 25 teams lost to an unranked opponent. There is a lot of parity this year, so a lot of teams will have losses. I feel we are selling ourselves short saying it's a longshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter what their SOS is if they keep losing. All we can do is win at least 10 of our last 13 games and/or win the AACe tourney and leave the rest up to fate. I'm not saying it's going to be an easy journey, but I don't agree with the "long shot" sentiment. At least not until we lose a few more games first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your theory is Kansas and Purdue are going to lose 10 more games or so and that is going to open the door for us to get in? When your NET is 130 at this point it is a long shot. But I will say that winning the aac tournament is a possibility at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
