Temple/Tulsa tonight (2/23)

[Kemba15]

Pretty big game to monitor tonight. Don't want to get too ahead of the game, but if Tulsa wins, that likely puts them over Cincy in the standings. This means that Cincy/UConn could very well be the 4/5 game in the AAC tourney. But if Temple pulls off the road W tonight, Tulsa could drop into that 4/5 game vs. us.

I would feel FAR more comfortable playing Tulsa than Cincy with a 10th loss on the line.

Cincy would never be able to beat us a 3rd time.

Maybe I am missing something but how does UConn and Cincy end up being the 4/5 game? I cannot see a scenario where they are not both in the top 4. I do not see anyway Houston finishes 3rd with having to play us and Cincy still.

The scenario where SMU isnt banned from the post season?

Forgot about this for a second. Brain fart, whoops!

As Husky fans, should we root for Temple or Tulsa?

 

[BUHusky]

I'd like UConn's win over Tulsa to remain an RPI Top 50 win, thus, I'm rooting for Tulsa.

Tulsa up 14 with 7 minutes to go.

Tulsa running away 74-55 min to go.

Tulsa trailed by 12 at one point. From there, they outscored Temple by 31 points. Tulsa is in very good shape right now, provided they don't stumble against Memphis on the road, or USF at home. Temple is in trouble. They have no more opportunities for big wins before the AAC tourney. Cincy's fate is in their hands, with a road game at Houston, and a home game vs SMU. Win both, and they'll likely be home free. Win one, and they'll be sweating. Lose both, NIT time.
