That SMU game is gonna be tough, but a win will help slightly. Those awful losses though may be too much to overcome. It all depends on how we end the season. It's still that good ol long shot but if we run the table, losing in conf tourney semis or finals, the Committee would have to look at our body of work after those 2 awful losses ....... but a lot of basketball to be played yet.

Correct me if I am wrong but with a double bye our first game would be in the semis. Cant go 0-1. Possible in a close finals loss (I would say very unlikely) and you would need FSU, Memphis, FAU, and SMU to keep getting W's. 2 minutes ago, SilverBull said: Not wishing you any ill health, but...

This is the thing that bothers me the most in regards to how a team is viewed. I remember that we started off the 2011 - 2012 season 7-6 and went on a good run in Big East play. Obviously, playing in that league was a huge reason that we received an at large bid. 2 losses 2 and half months ago shouldn't be an anchor holding this team back from an NCAA Tournament bid. We obviously have to continue to win, but no one can say that we are not one of the better teams in the country at this moment.
