Wichita state is in now= we will not jump them.
You said we're out even if we win the next 3. Keep drinking.

There is no doubt we have the talent to win the next 3. If Hardaway can't come up with the game plan and inspire these guys to play their hearts for 1 week, then we just need to shut up and hope for a better team next season. These guys can do it. This season will be remembered as a weird one anyway.
Win the next 3 or stay home, that's it.
1 down, 2 to go.

If we beat them again in conference tournament and we win our last 3 would be only scenario I could see this happening.

This...
Quote:I was saying wichita state before anyone else. We are clearly 3rd team at the bottom of the Wichita state, smu, Memphis pile now. Bad timing for the bug to hit. We don’t really have a path to an at large bid now imo. Down to Wichita state and smu. If we can play with the momentum we had before the shutdown, maybe we have a chance to run the table in the conference tournament.
This...
Quote:Computers aren’t resume.
And if we win out, Wichita state still has a better resume unless they lose both games to smu. And if smu beats Wichita state both games, smu will have a better resume than us. Conference will get 2. No scenario where it gets 3.
Is what it is
This...
Quote:There’s a reason smu and Wichita state are on everyone’s bubble and we aren’t......
I have blue shaded glasses too.... but they won’t help us
This...
Quote:Well this is unsurprising.
Of course Houston and Wichita state don’t want to reschedule. They both have more to lose than we do.
Wichita state is in the field unless they lose both games to smu. If smu beats Wichita state twice then smu is in.
If we win last 3 including in Houston we still out. Been laying the scenario out for weeks.
This...
Quote:Wichita state has a better resume and a victory over Houston already.
We won’t jump them.
This...
Quote:I have said the conference would get 2. And it would be between us, shockers, ponies. Shockers win over Houston and our pause sealed our fate.
It is what it is
This...
Quote:Aint no probably about it...If Memphis wins the next 3 they are absolutely in.
Nope
This...
Quote:Not enough.
I think there was a typo in your post. You said...
Quote:What did I say stammers?
I THINK what you meant to say was...
Quote:What did I say 9 times stammers?
I only counted 8.

Yep... what I’ve said is we are playing from behind.... that we don’t have the resume.... laid out scenarios.... used numbers that actually matter.... you just made my argument for me.

RE: Here's the deal, WIN the next 3
If memphis wins the next 3 it is not enough because we won’t jump Wichita state and the conference will not be given 3 spots. It’s not complicated and it’s right there in the numbers.
I said it would probably get us to first 4 out range. If you have the time to go back through all my posts, go through the resumes of the 9 teams ahead of us on the bubble.
One quad one win will not get us there.

RE: Here's the deal, WIN the next 3
One thing at a time. Beat USF 15-6, we're in, lose, we have to win the tournament
Beat Houston 16-6, we're still in, lose, we have to win the tournament
Win 2 in tourney, 18-6, that's at least 2 Q1 wins, I think they put us in.
Win the tourney 19-6 and it gets pretty easy.
Its a shame this season got so screwed up with COVID19 but it is what it is, I think a full schedule and we'd have found a way to be in the field already.
There are teams that have a record that correctly represent that team's abilities. Then there are teams that are better than their record and worse than their record. I think Williams late eligibility played a bigger than normal role in our record because of all the cancelled conference games. This Tiger team is a really good team that still plays worse than they are because of turnovers and free throws, but Cisse's and Dandridge's huge improvement and the addition of Williams are 2 big reasons we are a different team than we looked like in some early games and a really good reason we can win the next 5 games.
Its 5 games now. Wednesday, let's make it 4.

RE: Here's the deal, WIN the next 3
One game at a time.
If we get in, great. If not, on to next year.
Plus, this year really isn't a big deal. This year is a freebie and every player is eligible for an extra year to play. This season is all messed up anyways with the cancellations and postponements. I don't think any team has played a full season. So, to say one deserves to go in over the other, based on the current season with all this going on makes no sense. If every team that qualified played all their original scheduled teams, and, had no cancels and postponements, I'd say it'd be a fair assessment of the team. But, when one team is forced to stay off the court for two weeks, while others can practice is unfair.
It'd be nice to make it in the tournament. I think this team deserves it. Coach Penny seems to have found a system that works with this team. So, I think this team will be hard to beat in the AAC the last two games and the tournament.

Wichita State isn't ahead of us based on any metric. They are only ahead because they have less conference losses. They have also avoided 1 game with us and 2 games with SMU. IF we beat Houston, we will be 3-1 versus Houston, Wichita and SMU AND will have a 20 point beatdown of Wichita among our wins. Wichita will be 1-2.
To even think that Wichita will get in ahead of us when we will be way ahead of them on every computer, with a road win at Houston, and a 20 point demolition of them because they beat Ole Piss, is beyond idiotic.
