We just saw why VU is # 1 and we are not. They held on to a 20 pt lead

The sad part is that we may need to ask you to be more specific

There's a difference between our actual standing in the real world and our "Boneyard at Red Alert" standing.
CBS Palm, has us as an 11 seed playing LSU in the play in game!

Palm doesn't know what he's talking about.

Back when UCF was in first place of the AAC (through 5 or 6 games), they were the only AAC team in Palm's bracket. As a 16 seed. Dude is whacked.
Over on bracketmatrix.com, UConn is in 91 of 94 brackets.

Palm is the worst guy out there at this.

Get back to me if we drop 2 in the next 72 hours (which is entirely possible. a pessimist might say probable) We are in right now. But we have a razor thin margin. Thinner than I think many realize. Drop the next 2 and we are in serious peril.

ESPN kept showing us as a 10 seed last night. Either way if we lose two more in the regular season we are going to be sweating unless we win the AAC tournament.

I agree he's wrong, but I don't think there's much question our margin is thin. We have tough games coming up and we need to win at least a few of them.

Ok, now you are going to the other extreme than some of positive posters on the BY. We can lose 1 and be fine but two and a lost early in the AAC tournament will put is squarely on the bubble and I don't feel confident about our chances if that happens.

Absolutely, but the idea we need to run the table to get in is non-sense

I don't have a ton of confidence that we are solidly in the tournament. Temple is a top AAC school and they just got run at home...of course it was against the #1 team, so tough to say how much it hurt.

I mean, was it at home? Those Philly schools don't really have a home court against one another.
Also, is Temple a top school from the NCAA's mind? Despite their wins, they might be fourth or fifth on the totem pole (putting SMU in there as well, even though I know they don't count).

What does Temple's loss to Nova have anything to do with UConn? Temple is an 11 seed, UConn is a 9 seed in today bracket prediction, or according to Bracket Matrix UConn is an 8 seed.
Does PC not get in because Nova lost by 100 to Oklahoma?

It is not a 1 to 1 correlation.
You are speaking in Utopian absolutes. Not current landscape as it stands in today's realities. Read Larry Brown's comments from yesterday.
Villanova losing to Oklahoma early in the year doesnt make a blip on anyone's radar or drag down the Big East in perception or stature. That league is having a pretty decent year as much as I hate to admit it. Multiple teams in top 10 at times this year, etc.....
Temple getting housed while sitting at the top of the AAC this late in the year is a very bad look for a league that already is laughed out of every serious basketball discussion. I mean the other top 3 teams in the AAC cant beat Temple but Temple cant stay on the court with Nova? Fair or not its the way it is and we live in that world.
