Top 6 teams have all done decent. UConn's expectations may have been too high with no front court. Tulsa seems to be meeting the expectations most neutral fans had. Memphis sucks as expected but their record would have you think otherwise. ECU would've been better if they hadn't lost the two contributors at the start of the year.
At this point of the season, I just don't see UCF making the tournament. Getting Taylor back will help, but this team reeeeeally struggles with shooting. Facing the stiffer defenses in league play is very concerning. I can see a few 40-something game scores coming. The guys play very solid defense (usually), but the poor shooting could cost us too many games for us to be serious contenders for the tournament. If Taylor is out longer than expected, it may not be pretty for us.

UCF will get some benefit of the doubt for losing 2 close games without one of their best players. UCF has no bad losses and a road win against a top 25 team out of conference helps a lot. They just need to win the games they are supposed to win in conference and find a way to get to 12-6. Do that and they have a good shot at making the field.

But will UCONN get the benefit of the doubt for not having a Head Coach since 2012?

I hope you're right. I'm happy with the 9-3 record given the injury situation and all of the new faces still learning to play together. I'm all in for the "just win, baby" mentality, but man, some of these games are pretty painful to watch.

I know RPI isn't as big a factor as it used to be, but it's a fun way to run simulations and predict what a team needs to do to have a tournament quality resume. Almost no matter how you run the numbers, UCF starts to look like a tournament team at 22 wins. 21 might do it if the bubble is weak, 22 means they have a solid chance, and 23 would be near lock status. 12-6 in conference gets them to 21-9 in the regular season, so that's what I think it's going to take.

Can a website that doesn't even have the correct conference affiliations be considered credible? It still have Louisville and Rutgers in the AAC and Tulsa, Tulane and ECU in CUSA.

Proof that the website is clearly run by a fan of UC or UConn.
