Stayed at 103, although do have the Quad 1 win back with Memphis getting back there.

 

It's a shame they no longer use the RPI, because we would actually have a shot at an at-large with our RPI profile, especially with the remaining games against FAU and SMU.

We do have a shot at an at-large bid ...... it's just a long one.

The results from this weekend did not help our cause in that regard. A lot of bubble teams strengthened their case for an at-large. A lot of basketball still to play, but our odds are probably around 1%.

With Memphis jumping back up as a quad 1 win for us, I'm surprised our NET didn't move accordingly. Also if UNT gains 5-6 spots, that road win will jump to quad 1 as well.

The fact that teams like Gonzaga, Wake Forest, Colorado, and Nevada are currently on the outside looking in does not bode well for our chances. Even at 26-6 we wouldn't be a sure thing to make the tournament as an at-large but of course there is a chance.

I say why not? All we can do is keep winning and maybe win the AAC.

Showing us as a 13th seed and AAC autobid.  Guess who is the #1 seed in the bracket?  Can’t ever catch a break from those guys…

FAU's record (18-5) isn't quite where it was a year ago at this time (22-2), but the Owls played a far tougher nonconference schedule.

Sports are really funny that way.

Yes, why move teams up that actually win games. RPI was a very good indicator of more deserving teams.

I remember when NET was introduced and how Coach Fernandez mentioned that it was taking the game in the wrong direction.
