[URL='http://www.barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Connecticut']Torvik[/URL] also has it at 34% chance at the tourney. They have 7 games left against Q1 and 5 games left against Q2.

To make the tourney they need to go likely 3-4 in those games for Q1; Torvik currently projecting 1-6 record (Memphis at home as a W). Those games are:
[LIST]
[*]Away: Cincinnati, Villanova, Houston, Memphis, Temple
[*]Home: Wichita State, Memphis
[/LIST]
The worst part being the home Wichita State, and Nova/Houston games away are back to back to back.

If they can pull off winning both games at home and one of the away games, they would have a good case come Selection Sunday (assuming they take care of business Q3/Q4) and play above .500 v. Q2.

He is still predicting 20-11 (11-7) as he has for a couple weeks now, which is definitely NIT. That's OK for year 2, there has been significant improvement building towards an NCAA bid next year.

The window of opportunity hasn't closed yet but they need to steal a minimum 2 games from above that they are currently projected to lose.
