Frankly, surprised we're in the top 100. At this rate, the AAC is looking at a 2-bid status.

3 bid would require a surprise winner of the tourney

At this point, our only road to the NCAA tournament is winning the conference tournament. The good new is I do expect this team to be much better come March, especially if we keep installing the new offense. We have the talent to run through our conference tournament, it is just a matter of whether they can put it together or not.

Got to agree we should get better, can't be much worse with this much talent. Unfortunately, likely not good enough to win the tourney, but......next year....

11-4 and 2 wins in the tourney and 19-8 overall, should get us in. Not an easy road, but doable.

We can withstand at least 2 more losses within conference and that will get us an at large easily...At least a 9 seed.
But 14-2 is a tough ask with the way we have been performing

Getting outside of the obvious at large bids I do not delve into bracket seeding. What you are saying makes sense but that honestly seems out of reach for how up and down we are and now installing the new offense.

Beat Houston once and no wtf losses. One other q1 loss besides Houston, mayyybe 2 and probably get an at large. Do I think that happens? Doubtful but there is a chance and I will keep hoping that with this talent we can get our **** together.

We would need to be a completely different team on offense. No way the team teams continues to play like it does and we come anywhere near that.

We can lose two more games...
I don't care if both of them are to ECU...We will get in. Because if we lose to ECU twice that means we beat Houston Twice.

Maybe but then doing it that way may just let them devalue the Houston wins.

Yeah, it makes no sense for those kinds of "only road to the NCAA tournament" statements at this point in the season. It happens every year, someone makes that absolute claim, and it's just not true.
We can theoretically rattle off a 10-game streak of definitive wins, and see our numbers jump into the picture.
History says it won't happen. But there is still another road to the tournament.

Agreed...
Probable and Possible are two entirely different things.
I still say this team has the individual talent to win this league.
