UCF
@Tulane
@Tulsa
Memphis
Right now, I think we are looking at 1-3 or 2-2 all things considered.
I think we beat UCF at home and drop the last three. Memphis is playing pretty decent now and we could get throttled in that one.
No way we win at Tulsa.
Our only other win COULD be @ Tulane but since they beat us at the Shoe, there is not guarantee in that one either.
we are limping into the end of the year...perfect recipe for getting left out of the ncaa.

haha after what I saw last night (yes, we won) I can't see our final four games going any better than 2-2. I keep thinking the team will get out of this funk and play lights out and that hope is dashed five minutes into the game.
Unfortunately, they just aren't very good but there are some who think a top 15 ranking or national title is coming soon, so keep the faith, Bearcats #1. Try pulling the bag out sooner next time, will ya.
Predictions with this team is an exercise in futility. They are in disarray. If we get UConn in the first round of the AAC tourney I believe that will spell doom for NCAA tourney chances.
LOL! Bearcats#1 said "final four".
Most likely result is 3-1. Team just needed a win last night.
I think they can get 3-1, though my gut worries it could be 2-2. UCF is at home and it is hard to imagine we drop a 3rd home game in a row. Tulane will have their attention as they will look to avenge defeat and the Cats played about as bad a game they could play in the last meeting and would have won if not for a running 30 footer at the buzzer. At Tulsa will be tough, but honestly I'm not sold Tulsa is all that as they have started to get exposed of late as the schedule has gotten tougher. Still will be a tough game on the road, but a winnable one. Memphis has been coming on, but it is senior night, so that should help. Honestly I think that is the toughest game left.
3-1 and I think they will feel pretty comfortable going in the NCAA selection show (Although if one of those losses were to Tulane or UCF, we may sweat a little more). Though I'd feel better if they win at least one conference tourney game. 2-2 and I still think we have a shot thanks to a weak bubble.
Tulane and UCF are lock wins. Yea Tulane got us here on a short emotional turnaround from the SMU win. Will not happen again. Same reason that we were flat last night. Memphis is playing much better and probably has us on talent. I think that we get Tulsa. 3-1 going into the tournament.
Betting on this teams is a fool's bet.
Remember these guys beat SMU not once but twice. They can compete and beat any team in the AAC because they've beaten the best team in the AAC.
Howe they are so inconsistent, they could win them all or lose them all.
One game at a time. I am thankful they won last night.
I'm hoping the win restores some of their SMU mojo back because a big part of winning is confidence.

3-1 for this team at this point is fools gold...
Do you guys even take the time to at least have an idea what you are talking about?
Memphis playing well of late...the Memphis that lost to ECU by 11 not even two weeks ago. The Memphis that is 3-3 in last 6. The Memphis that is 2-4 on the road?
Yeah and UC sucks at home now. Lost on a fluke 3 prayer and by 2 to Xavier in rivalry game.
I do think that last night will be a big help just taking pressure of losing streak away. Thomas has played very well offensively last two games. And they aren't as bad a 3 point shooting team as the last 3 games shows.
Win against UCF
Win at Tulane
Win at Tulsa (this is one I could see loss)
Win against Memphis
4-0, 3-1 at worst.

hahah wow....hope your right.
ps: Have you watched UC in the last few weeks? I don't know how you can come up with this if you have. But hey, more power to ya.
4-0 most likely. 3-1 worst case.
You guys claiming 3-1 and 4-0....what are you seeing from UC in the last three weeks that I'm not? I see a team that has regressed, I see a center that is becoming a bigger and bigger problem, a guard that didn't travel with the team because he was pooh-poohing on the sideline, a team that is as bad at running offense as any team i've every seen at any level, and I see an asst. coach who isn't very good, has lost the team, and looks clueless on the sideline. Please tell me how we go 4-0 or 3-1.

I saw a team that played very well against x granted the Houston win and ECU/Tulane losses were pitiful. If we find our way to gym, we beat UCF on talent alone. If we execute at a lower mid level we beat Tulane. If we play good ball, we beat Tulsa. Memphis is a talented bad match-up for us.

I'm a little surprised by the confidence in the team, mainly because it took an injury to one of Houston's key players for UC to come back and win last night. Then I look at the remaining schedule and think, yeah, they really should win at least 3 of their remaining 4.
If they were in the Big XII, I'd think differently, but this year it greatly benefits them to be in a sh!t league. After watching Oklahoma @ Texas Tech yesterday, I wouldn't be surprised if UC was in the last place if they were in the Big XII.

They are better than the 4 teams they play. Significantly better than 2 of them and a good deal better than the other 2.

Agreed, UC's winning margin last night was 10 points on five steals from the walk-on pg, probably doesn't happen if the starter doesn't get hurt, that was huge for UC.
We have two extremely different groups on this board and the way they look at the rest of the season, will be interesting to see how it plays out. I said 21-10 to start year, that means they have to go 3-1,think 2-2 is more realistic.
