Otherwise we have similar profiles
And we beat the crap out of them
Yes I can hear committee members eight now saying we are looking at the season and not who was better on a given day. But, especially if we beat them again in the conference tourney the overall picture is too close to ignore a sweep, I would think
Or, if we beat Houston on the road then we match their big win and have a 20 point stomping of them
We are already way ahead of Wichita in every metric. If we beat Houston, we will be even further ahead of them and we will be 3-1 versus Houston, Wichita and SMU. Wichita will be 1-2, will have avoided SMU entirely, and will have had their asses kicked by us.
All things being equal in the conference tournament, we will be way ahead of them.
IF we don't beat Houston on Sunday, but we beat either Houston or Wichita in our conference tournament we are ahead of them. We are for sure a 2 bid league. The wildcard is SMU. If we beat Houston and/or Wichita State, but SMU wins the tournament, then there could be trouble for us and Wichita.
I'm not afraid of Houston, but I would prefer to avoid them as long as possible in the tournament for two reasons. One, I think on a neutral court, we handle Wichita or SMU. Two, Wichita has already beaten Houston. Beat Wichita or SMU and we are in. Houston beats Wichita before we get to them and we are probably in if we beat SMU.
IF we beat Houston on Sunday, we are in ahead of Wichita. IF we lose to Houston on Sunday, but beat Wichita in the tournament, we will be in ahead of them.
