11 UCF (play in game)

Although UCLA was a big name, it wasn't necessarily a big win. Most project that they won't make the tourney. Unfortunately the OOC schedule didn't allow for UC to get a "statement" win. A win over OSU or Miss St would have been nice. Maybe some of these teams they beat (X, UCLA, UNLV, Ole Miss) will go on a little run. UC is going to have to improve their situation by winning the bigger games in conference. Which unfortunately doesn't give them too many opportunities with it only projecting to be a 2 bid league.

Ole Miss is actually a Q1 and our best win, at this point . They are #47 in the NET . If they stay in the top 50 with the neutral court thats a Q1 win .

Our breakdown right now:

Q1 : 1-2 (Miss, OSU, Miss St)
Q2 : 1-0 (UCLA)
Q3 : 4-0 (George Mason, UNLV, NKU, Xavier)
Q4 : 4-0 (NC Central, Milwaukee, W. Mich, Ark Pine Bluff)

Quadrant 1: Home 1-30, Neutral 1-50, Away 1-75
Quadrant 2: Home 31-75, Neutral 51-100, Away 76-135
Quadrant 3: Home 76-160, Neutral 101-200, Away 135-240
Quadrant 4: Home 161-353, Neutral 201-353, Away 241-353

If I had to guess Ole Miss, UCLA, and Xavier all fall into 2 by the end of the year. Still some Q1 games out there in conference play. Need to beat Houston at least once and go no worse than 14-4 in league play to keep anything better than a six or seven seed in play.
