Are we NIT bound??

[flsportsfan83]

NE some teams on the bubble could still play their way in, at worst we fall to a play in game, but I think we get in as a 12 seed

When you look at Lunardi's S curve...Washington was ahead of us. They lost, we lost, below us is BYU which is done playing. I think we are maybe 1-2 teams away from being last 4 in and playing Dayton.

I think we're in. Cincinnati and Louisville became more impressive wins today. There's a chance one of them ends up winning the BET or getting to the Final and that makes us look good.

It is a down year for them, but we beat Villanova three times. I think that is something they will look at. They will also look at the progression of Collins and his absence early in the year coupled with injuries as well. The committee cares a lot about how someone is playing right now combined with the record. They will look at our schedule and see a healthy USF team early in the season likely would have 2-3 more wins at least, putting us outside the bubble. They will also see that we did not play any of the BE powers at home this year.

It's not as good of a case that could have been made had we beaten WVU last Saturday and won our first round game, but we are at 20 wins with a winning BE record. That's something we did not have two years ago. I believe we went 10-10, though we don't have a win like the Georgetown win, though that was negated by a loss to them to finish the season.

I also think we've had more teams stumble off the bubble like Northwestern.

Many experts were saying we needed this game.

You mean douchebags like Doug Gottlieb

OK defently feeling better. I will take a play in game.

Could have avoided it, but if that's where we are seeded, will take it over not getting in. Hopefully we learn from this for next season. Close teams out and for sake of god learn how to play offense.

This team is like my SF 49ers this past season. They were so close to making it to the Super Bowl, but their offense which struggled to score all season, held them back from beating the Giants. They had a great defense, probably the best in the NFL but still you have to be able to win games with your offense when playing good opponents. The 49ers are going to improve their offense this off season and hopefully Heath addresses his offense this coming off season. Stan is a great defensive coach but in order to take this thing to the next level he really needs to change things up with his offense a bit, or let Coach Rocc run the offense. Jim Christian ran the offense at Kent St and Dan Hipsher mostly ran the offense at Arkansas.

I think the way we've played has put a bad taste in people's mouth. 9 minute scoreless droughts, choking the game away! Etc. That was amateur hour out there tonight.

Listen, our version of basketball is awful at times, but basketball isn't a sport were defensive battles are "things of beauty".

We're in.

Now could they leave us out? Absolutely. 13 losses and only a couple signature wins will do that to a team.

But I highly doubt it.
