Wichita St just lost in the MVC semis.

Its ok SMU will knock UC out of it tomorrow and even it back up.

You make no sense. BTW, the Tulsa effort today did not move you forward. Tulsa does not look worthy. You would have lost if their best player was not injured for the second half.

A win is a win at this point in the season.

Stick to your one trick...

You only fail when you try to get all fancy.

"Did UC get left out yet?"

Not really. Beating a team like USF at home by a small margin does not inspire confidence by the committee.

I like Did UC gets its invite yet....

Its all internet fun.

There arent many spots left and you guys only have two quality wins with tulsa being one of them.

Unless you win by an obviously controversial call, I don't think the committee really cares if you win by 60 or lose by 1. UH could have beaten Cincy 82-45 but if they lose to UCF/Tulane, they're done. Tulsa got the job done, unlike their game against Memphis.

I guarantee that UC is going before Tulsa ever is.

And Tulsa isn't a "quality" win...and yeah, it does count as a "bad" loss for UC.

Tulsa has a nice team. If they get to the AAC tournament final, I predict that they will make the field in the Dayton play-in games.

Would it be better if they had lost? Of course not. That would be a much bigger penalty than winning a close one. They look much closer at whom you played, whom you beat, your RPI, your record in your last 10 games, etc., than at margin of victory.

10 Pts isn't really 'close' my friends. If Tulsa gets to the finals we'll probably be in the tourney as a normal seed.

Everyone's hopes of making the tourney are sky high, for some reason this year mine isn't. Good luck to those that do.

The MOV wasn't really tight but if the committee was watching the game--and they watch many games this time of year--, they knew how close it was. That said, it really means little in the grand scheme of things.

The game was way closer than it should've been. USF was lights out from 3. Like 59% late in the 2nd half.
We lost a guy, they lost a guy.
USF really lost it late in the 2nd due to the Tulsa press and quickness.

Watching the game as an Indy observer, it did not help TU as evidenced by being in 56% of the matrix brackets before and 49% after.

The 1:14 mark of this shows USF giving up and Tulsa punctuating the win: http://youtu.be/9RbhZ8QHmPY

If only Tulsa hadn't slipped up at Memphis. They'd likely be on the 10 line in the field.

I assume that you watched the game. It was close for 39 minutes.

LOL. UC lost 5 games by 2 points, if we win all five we're probably on the 4 line in the field. Is what it is.

We are all in trouble. An early exit from the conference tournament probably = NIT for any of our bubble teams.
