Tough to beat an evenly matched team 3x in one year but I can't say that our team has given us any reason to place a whole lot of confidence in them to take their tourney fates into their own hands.

This is by means no slight to Cincy but if we can't beat them once in 3 tries in a basically win or go home type game then we have ourselves to blame for missing the tournament for two straight years

You guys are going to win. Thinking a Philip Nolan banked 40 footer at the buzzer for a 56-54 UConn win. We have no shot.

Nice try at stealing mojo Kobe. It won't work twice. You did this before the game a couple weeks ago. Methinks you went to the well once too often and the mojo gods don't take kindly to that.
 
Friday at 2pm? - have an 8am tee time in NC will be done on time but 23 have 36 scheduled, what to do? :(
 
Looks like I'm burning a vacation day on this one - they better not add wasting one of my PTO days to the laundry list of disappointments from this season

At least Roscoe Smith isn't on the team for that scenario.



*I would kill have Roscoe Smith on this team.

Well if Roscoe was banking in a 40 footer we can all agree that it wouldn't be a buzzer beater but rather with 8 seconds remaining

Lmao!

More 3 pointers than turnovers

More Brimah blocks than fouls

We win.....

We need to keep them off the boards and keep Gary Clark in check and we will be fine. He has been there most consistent player against us.

Gary Clark hasn't made a FG in over 100 minutes of playing time. No chance he plays well.
 
Cincinnati will actually GAIN two top 50 RPI wins by losing this game. If they (by some miracle) actually win the game, they will lose them. #reasonwhywelose

THIS has been working for you this year so cut the crap. This reverse psychology has been a thorn in our side this year so kobe you need to admit you will win and sweep us - NOW or you're not welcome.:rolleyes:
 
After Monmouth losing last night it's quite simple...if they win Friday, they are in. If they lose, I don't think they have a right to be in the tournament. That would make them 4-5 in their last 9.
 
There are teams that are going to be in the tournament that couldn't beat SMU or Texas or Cincy for that matter. If we lost a close game Fri to a team that went on to win the AAC Is there any way we could get in?

It just doesn't feel like that is possible. The season would have the feel of an end of the year collapse and I don't think that would be rewarded with a tourney bid.

I'm skipping a training course to catch this game. You know the right answer to your question.
 
If UConn shoots 20 FTs they win. Cinci will commit at least 40 fouls. Will the refs call even 1/3 of them, that's the question.

I think there's a small chance, but I doubt we would.
 
The committee is going to have a tough time this year because there are so many teams with similar profiles. What do they value the most? Your out of league schedule? Road wins? How much do Top 100 RPI + losses hurt v.s. Top 100 RPI wins? Do they rely more on the advanced metrics than the RPI?

Even with a loss on Friday, UConn would not have a loss outside of the Top 75 in the RPI. We would have won 7 road/neutral games.

I don't think we make it if we lose Friday, but it may be closer than some people think.

I tend to think it all depends on whether the winner of Cincy/UConn also takes the AAC autobid. If that happens, the committee may say that the AAC deserves a second team.
