Chances at quality wins
We still have 7 games left this season to pick up a few.

(using CBS Sports RPI as of today)
@ Gonzaga (7)
@ Cincy (29)
@ UConn (78)

Tulsa (40)
SMU (21)
Temple (50)
UConn (78)

Run the table at home and steal 1 of the 3 on the road (which means beating UConn b/c I doubt we win on Sr Day in Cincy and we aren't coming close to winning Sat night), maybe get a chance to beat Temple or Tulsa in the AAC tournament to get another one. Don't think it would be enough, but you never know.

Playing in CUSA never gave us this luxury. Those SFA and Tulane losses are killer. Win those 2 and we'd be 15-5 with no losses outside the top 40 RPI.

Probably not a reasonable chance at Gonzaga this year. However, winning any of the other games is a definite possibility, if we can avoid the 10 minute or more scoring droughts and/or the other team happens to go cold.

the way we handled Cincy at home, I think that one might be a good one.

Realistically, Gonzaga is a lost, actually let's hope it's not embarrassing blow out lost. They are ranked 3rd and have a KY transfer who is really good big center.
