Tulane kept it close at WSU
Texas Tech goes down, that has to help us, right?

Should help. As does the Clemson loss. The more ranked losses the better
We need Auburn/UNC or Purdue to lose if we want to play at a site anywhere close to us.

While a close location might be lost without winning out a three seed still seems in the cards even the Cats lose to Wichita State. I can easily see the committee granting UC a three seed if the Cats are 15-3, 28-5 with another win over Houston going into the tip of conference tournament championship game. The other resumes are just so weak. Michigan State without a conference tournament really doesn't have anything better than a 2/3 resume. Clemson is closer to the 4/5 line. Texas Tech is going to continue to lose their way to a 4 seed. Lets UC finishes 14-6 against the top two groups that still good enough for really good seed.
Prediction: Wichita State ends up as 2/3 while Cincinnati ends up around 3/4, Houston 6/7. Gonzaga will be no higher than a 6/7 no matter what they do the rest of the way, same for Rhode Island and Nevada. Xavier is two wins away from LOCKING up a one seed. UCLA, USC, and Washington sneak into the tournament while a few of the SEC teams projected in do not make the tournament.

No way Xavier LOCKS up a one seed before the conference championship games are over. If Villanova wins BE, MSU wins big 10, and Duke wins ACC... Villanova, MSU, Duke and Virginia are 1's. Right now Virginia and Villanova are the only two I can see being 1's without a conference championship. Conference tournaments are a lot of good wins for teams.
Tulsa has "quietly" positioned itself at the fourth spot in the conference standings with the win over UCF. They are now 17-10 (10-5) 78 RPI. After the way they started the season I did not envision them at this spot with 3 games to go.

Unfortunately... that's a bad thing for the conference, as SMU's non conference wins over Arizona and USC and Temples over Clemson and Auburn are wasted.

This.
And it probably means that, barring Tulsa winning the conference championship tournament, the AAC is a "3 bid" conference.
Purdue 50
Illinois 48

I think he means 7 of 10 come from junior college.
UH Sampson has a history with the NCAA from OK and IU.
How long before UH finds itself in problems?
Memphis passing is horrible
UCLA loses to Utah and gets knocked out of the bubble.
Houston loses to Memphis and is now squarely back on the bubble.
We may end the year with not a single win vs a tournament team.

Dude, you need to take a vacation. You post something negative even when there is positive. Why not focus on winning the conference championship first?

Buffalo
I turned off the Memphis UH game and just saw Memphis down 13 beat UH 91-85
There was no way it seemed possible.
