If we win just one of our remaining games, then we lock in at least a 3 seed. Last edited by Queens_NYC; 03-02-2020 at 08:51 AM. |

Seems to me after last nights win, we are locked in for either a 2 or 3 seed.
I’m honestly not sure what scenario I want the most. But I think I’d like to secure the 2 seed, and have WSU secure the 3 seed. While Tulsa loses out to finish the season. I think doing so puts UC on the same side of the bracket as WSU who is a 2nd game tier 1 opportunity and then likely another tier 1 opportunity with Houston. If it’s Tulsa, we likely are stuck with a tier 2 opportunity. |

And its mostly because we take advantage of their intense defense and draw fouls. And we have 3 veteran players that they just don't have. I think WSU is a year away from being really frickin good. But today they are too young. With Tulsa, Sure we kicked their ass at home. But we aren't playing at home and we aren't playing at that high level any more. I think their Matchup Zone will give us problems if we aren't shooting well. Tulsa just doesn't foul a ton, They are #75 in Defensive FTA/FGA. WSU fouls a crap ton and they are #298 in that category. I think thats why we are 2-0 against them Add in that Tulsa has beaten Houston, Memphis by 40, UCONN on the road. WSU is 0-2 vs UC and Houston, they beat Memphis at home and the beat uconn on the road. But other than that, Tulsa has wins against the top teams minus us and we didn't play in their gym.

If jarron is at least 75% we are better than every team, except Houston. Jarron makes the difference. He’s that good. If he is what he has been for the last month, it’s going to be hard. It’s really that easy

It's just too difficult to beat a team 3 times in a year no matter how much better you are. Houston was far better than us last season and all it took was a Jarron Cumberland extravaganza to knock them off after a third chance...and that was only a week after they destroyed us on our senior night...

Wichita State can't get any higher than a 4 seed since they'd lose tie breakers to Tulsa (record vs Houston), Houston (head to head), and us (head to head) so we're almost guaranteed to end up opposite them unless Memphis beats Houston and we get the 1 seed (or Wichita loses out and other games go against them to drop their seed to a 6 or lower).
