Knee jerk Reactions Here!

Starting to think cupcakes is the way to go. Only proving we don't belong in the tourney so far. Our OCC is gonna look the same as last year now - no meaningful wins.

Curious to hear your real argument. Honest question: does losing to semi good and good teams equal beating bad teams?

How does our OOC schedule project now?

Are we ready to win the USFs and Houstons?

We tried that already and got a NIT bid. You want to go to the NIT again?

We have plenty of cupcakes still to go, it is probably a bit unfortunate we play 3 tough games in the first two weeks of the season, but what can you do?

Keep the eye on the prize, our conference is very winnable, win the regular season, win the tournament, then go into the NCAAs with some swagger.

It sucks we won't be ranked or discussed in December, but come January, rack up those conference wins, and people will start to notice again.
Probaly won't happen...BUT...maybe it will!!

No meaning full wins as of yet but our RPI might be higher due to the teams we played. So while they are not meaningful wins they might be meaning losses so to speak.
