We should cheer for Tulsa and USF to win every remaining game.

Tulsa can become a Q1/Q2 win for us and USF can stay Q2 for us.

UConn is another team right on the brink of Q1/Q2 but with their injury situation I expect them to trend down as the season wraps up.

Definitely agree about Tulsa. I think they'll finish top 75 if they can just win their three remaining games against Tulane and ECU plus Wichita at home.

I'm not so sure about USF. It might be better to have more tournament quality teams in our conference, which means UCF and Temple need to do well. Temple could also be a Q1 game in the conference tourney if they can get to the top 50. USF still has games against Temple, UCF and UConn. I wouldn't mind if they got bumped from Q2 by losing those games, since that could mean UCF home and @UConn could move into Q1.

I agree that getting Temple as a Q1 in the conference tourney (likely semis) would be great. I think they can lose to USF and still achieve that.

I think it'll be tough for UCF to hit top 30 with how difficult their remaining schedule is. I'm not banking on it to be honest. I hope at the very least they can stay top 50 in case we do cross paths in Memphis.

If UConn can win at SMU next week then I'll have a slightly renewed hope for their Q1 prospects. I think they're a lost cause though.

I wonder if the value of wins against teams we play twice would be worth more or less than a single team moving into a different quadrant. There are quadrants and there are metrics in play. It's probably small potatoes when talking about 1 team here or there. Not sure 1 team will help us with a seed line but I guess it could if we are neck and neck with another team.

Cant decide who to root for in this Memphis/UCF game. Im leaning UCF I suppose. Memphis will probably be never more than a Q1/Q2. UCF could be a Q1 on a neutral floor in conf tourney and outside shot at Q1 at home. Could be thinking this wrong though.
