I think that's the kind of day we need to see a little bit more of. We need the right teams winning. The way things are going with some other top teams in other conferences we might even be able to get a 3 seed with 4 losses. Previously I thought that would be 4 seed material. It keeps shifting back and forth...but right now it has shifted in the right direction. We want the bottom teams vulturing in other conferences...not ours.

Yes. I've found myself rooting against teams with similar resumes and teams UC will be fighting for a seed line.

Oklahoma, West Virginia, Michigan St., Clemson, Arizona, Texas Tech...just to name a few.

No important games today, time instead for a resume update. We picked up a couple of Group 2 wins in the last week. We are now 4-2 in Group 1, 5-0 in Group 2, and zero bad losses.

According to rpiforecast, Miss St is expected to drop out of Group 2 by the end of the season, but all of the rest are expected to remain in their respective groups. However, I have my doubts that UCF will be able to stay in the top 75 after losing Tacko. But UConn may be able to move up if they win at UCF this week. Still lots of basketball left.

Projected remaining Group 1 games: @SMU, @Houston, Wichita St, @Wichita St
Projected remaining Group 2 games: Houston, @UConn, UCF, @Tulane

LOL! We are a 3 seed...believe me. Power 6 conferences...fake news. The NCAA committee? Filibuster!

Buffalo blows a 13 point halftime lead and drops their first MAC game. RPI only drops to 32.
Florida loses, but stays steady at 37.

This is pretty easy to root for. The last game is a little tougher but I have higher hopes for Uconn right now than I do for UCF. Getting one of them into the right column would be great.
