We're getting pretty good at getting unranked teams ranked.

0-2 vs. Top 25
2-5 vs. Top 50

This year should be interesting during tourney selection time...

But we do have 5 more top 50 opportunities...

and 3 of those 5 are at home. Just winning out at home in reg season means 22 wins and 5 top 50 wins. I would think that we'd prob be no lower than a 6 seed.

We should also be able to sneak in at least 1 more during the AAC tournament.

I agree. The key is to get a top 3 seed in the AAC tourn. There's 5 good teams (although I still think SMU is sketchy) and 2 of them will play each other in the 1st round.

I posted on this a couple of weeks ago. SMU is not sketchy-they are pretty good. Have to avoid 4 or 5 seed. t have to play one of the top teams Thursday would be very difficult.

Playing at home that's true. They still haven't beaten a top team on the road. They have only 2 road wins, UCF and Houston.

I don't think they are going to need any big road wins to get in.

It would help their seed, but I don't think they will need it to get a bid.

They have a quality road and a quality home win. They have Larry Brown as a coach. The entire selection committee knows that he has turned that program around. They will easily get the nod over any other bubble team. They are on the serious upswing.

Getting 5 teams in as at-larges would be huge.

That will also make us 3-2 vs. the top 25

Gonzaga can run us out the building

You told us not to sleep on Rutgers.

Cute.

We are also pretty good at winning most of our games.

But yes- like nearly every team, even really good teams, we have lost some games. Congratulations to Louisville for keeping us ranked.

Phail.

We've lost to 3 unranked teams.

None of them were ranked the following week.
