Nothing to play for anymore after losing that 1st game. Thought this would happen to them.Game over Tulsa wins @ SMU. SMU sure doesn't look like a great team anymore.
I actually think we did want Tulsa to win this. SMU is not leaving the RPI top 25, and this moves Tulsa into the Top 50, which gives us a great chance to add a top 50 win. And we play Tulsa next, no better time to play a team then off a huge win. And obviously we want to win the conference.Not good as we didn't need Tulsa to win this. Oh well we are going to have it tough the rest of way. Well maybe I spoke too soon. Still Tulsa up by 1 with 20 seconds and the ball.
17 seconds left, SMU down 3 with the ball, Marcus freaking Kennedy shoots a 3...and air balls it. Gave me flash backs to MSG when Gavin Edwards did that against Kentucky.
Why is Tulsa winning this game not good for UConn?

So actually there is no reason we did not want Tulsa to win
Yea I don't really see your visison but no big deal.Well, SMU being ineligible means that their wins help us generally. It's like a non-conference loss being counted against the other teams, assuming we beat them.
The regular season title is purely symbolic for us, it doesn't do anything for us in and of itself.

Tulsa is 16-8, they have holes.Was at this game scouting our upcoming opponents. Nic Moore is almost unstoppable from beyond the arc. Can't let him have uncontested shots. He especially likes the right side. Made a couple sloppy passes though. He had 4 fouls with about 8 minutes left, and sat for about half that time. Tolbert can't shoot free throws. Ben Moore is a beast down low.
Not sure if the game was a sellout, but the number of empty seats was very noticeable. President and Laura Bush had court-side seats. First home loss of the season for SMU.
For Tulsa, Woodard is automatic from the line; and the team as a whole has no holes there. Pat Birt is a three threat too.
Nonetheless we can win against both of these teams if we play our A-game. First Temple though.

We are now tied for 1st place in the conference. I don't know about you guys but I'd like to win the freaking AAC for once.
So SMU cant win the conference because they are banned from Post season play? If thats the case and we win against Temple tonight, then we would move into 1st place in the conference. If not we'd still be a game behind SMU.
Presumably he means tied in the loss column (with both SMU and Temple). SMU can win the regular season.
No it does not, AP poll top 25 wins mean nothing, RPI Top 25 wins mean A LOT, and SMU's RPI is 14. So we still have 2 shots at actual meaningful top 25 winsThere goes our shot at a top 25 win.
