1) we have no chance to secure a 2 seed with any loss...with or without a Memphis away win.. you are over valuing a @ Memphis win

2) we are #4 in the net, we aren't getting higher.. the Q1/Q2 game is meaningless to us..we already have the net we need

3) net is not the end all be all..wku had they beaten Houston would have been a guaranteed at-large.. every recognized their conference was dragging their net.. win over bama, Memphis, Rhode island and dominating WVU (last second collapse) would have gotten them in with a 60s net
In the same breath Colgate has a top 25 net and has no chance at an at-large ...
Wku regardless of net will be a major resume win

The net is what is keeping you in the conversation. 1 win against a ranked team(TT) ? am I missing something? I'm not arguing Memphis's resume. I'm saying it would be a Q1 win(at mem) You only have 2. WKU is a Q2 win. Nothing more. The Mem road win would be a major resume win according to the computer. Whether you want to believe it or not. But knowing your mentality, you will argue with the computer. Good luck with that

So Memphis should play at Cinci Sunday, at USF Tuesday, at Houston Thursday, and at Memphis Sunday? 3 road games in 5 days and 4 games in 8 days? No because they would be tough on Memphis

You dont want Memphis deprived of home games but you're happy to deprive Cinci of a home game and USF of their Senior day to accomodat you

another blowout win vs boise (7-9 seed ncaa turney team) , blowout win vs wichita (bubble team), 2 blowout wins vs SMU (bubble teams), a blowout Win vs wku (bubble team)

i get what you are trying to say, it just doesnt make sense, or is worth it...

your point is that a road win vs memphis is better than a home win vs memphis.. i got that

but my point is to ask yourself is it worth it??? imagine you in our shoes..or that memphis and houston switched places

-- you are #4 in the net....and the 3 above you are not moving anytime soon (gonzaga, baylor, michigan)-- q1, q2, q3 games it doesnt matter your net isnt going up

-- houston (memphis) is not really even in the bubble-- destroying them at home or away will not change anything perception wise or net wise

-- playing at home is less strenuous on your players and conducive to better performance on the floor.. and your regular season finale...

would you give up your home edge for the minor boost in q1 vs q2 (when you are already at #4 IN THE NET)

This is an extremely easy decision...you are the one arguing with the common sense answer here

yes...same way boise was a blowout at 10 and tech was a blowout at 11

if we are doing any sorta mercy at the end, i consider it a blowout, regardless of final score..all 3 of those we were up big, and purposely started kill clock to end the game, the shaved our leads

You were down 10 in the second half ... Stop. Far from a blowout win.

so that you played wichita instead....

thursday works for both a 2nd houston and a 2nd wichita game... its in houston/conference best interest to have you play that Wichita game ...memphis is against it

yes and we were down to wku in our game in the 2nd half yesterday... by your very bad logic.. that wasnt a blowout???

if we wanted we could have beat you by 20+...the sampson "the game is over" is when we start holding the ball till the last 10 seconds of the shot clock and they throw up a prayer to shorted the game...we were doing that the last 5 minutes of the wichita game

i had this same dumb argument with a tech fan who said they only lost by 10..we were up 20 and started killing clock

your Homerism is an embarrassment ...

you are counting last second hail mary 3s after the game was over to say it wasnt a blowout..

we both know Houston could have step on the gas if we wanted....
