UNLV is just as good as UofM. New Mexico and Colorado State will make for good additions as well.

Fixed!

I think a win vs Marshall should seal it for USM. Otherwise it depends what happens elsewhere in conference tourneys.

Southern Miss is in. Don't listen to the talking heads.

RPI of 15.
5-2 vs top 50.

There is NO way they don't make the tournament at this point.

I see you still have the SJ quote in your sig.

Well played.

Haha, I forgot honestly. I disabled everyone's signature, so I can't see it when I post.

Exactly, I don't even know why this is even being talked about. No one with a resume like that has ever not made the tournament. Memphis is a tournament lock and they have an RPI of 18 and a record against the top 50 of 2-7. In no way am I insulting Memphis, just pointing out that if Memphis is in USM shouldn't even have to sweat in the least.

Memphis has 1 bad loss, USM has a few. The RPI is just part of the equation. Some seem to forget that.

I don't think anyone has forgotten that, but overall our resume is solid. If you compare our resume to some of the other possible at large teams that ESPN and CBS have compared us to, ours is clearly better.

We do have a few bad losses but we also have a good record against the Top 50.

Would post the video, but I don't know how. This is some funny stuff.

One more win should make us a no-brainer. :sly:

Isn't that what they were doing yesterday vs. ECU?

D-bag is one of the nicest terms possible for that wholly unprofessional bunch. There's a reason they're all kicking it on the kids' table of sports networks.

CBSSports, which has the main football/basketball tv contract with CUSA, is upset that some of their best sports programs are leaving the conf (Memphis Hoops, UCF Football and now even Basketball, Houston Football)...and will end up most likely in a conf that is carried by ESPN, not CBSSports.

USM has 3 bad losses (I'm defining a bad loss as to a team with a 100+ RPI) and 5 good wins (top 50 wins). My opinion is, and this is only my opinion, that for each bad loss you negate a good win. That still gives USM just as many top 50 wins as Memphis. USM also does have a top 50 SOS (although Memphis has a top 20 so they win that category). Both are tournament locks in my opinion, I am just saying their resumes are extremely comparable and the idea that C-USA is a one bid league is flat out insulting. If you gave USM's resume to NC State or Seton Hall they would be getting talk of a 4 or 5 seed not bubble talk.

USM is a lock. Their metrics are strong and the majority of Committee members are from Non BCS conferences.

USM is getting in. When we are talking about a Tennessee team getting in that is 17-13 with a 76 RPI and 4 losses to RPI 100+ teams, a 5-9 record against the RPI top 100, and a 3-8 road record, then it is obvious that USM is a lock.

We had a few bad losses, all on the road.
