I'm not proud of the team. I'm actually very upset they made it this difficult, but a win is a win and 20 wins is a nice accomplishment. We need to keep winning so we don't play ourselves out of the NIT.

Driving down to B’Ham on SUN from Franklin, TN…we win and what? What needs to happen for us to get 4th seed?

Are you predicting a loss on Sunday? Seems reasonable given their effort the last several games. Otherwise they are 11-6 in conference play.

Well we got our money's worth on this one...

Charlotte has to lose at ECU or Memphis has to lose at FAU.

We have to win @UAB and FAU needs to beat Memphis at home.

I think if we win the next one we're in the top 4. Can someone confirm?

No, if SMU and Charlotte both win Charlotte would have more wins. I don't know what the tie-breaker would be with Memphis but right now we are both 11-6 and they are ahead of us in the standings. One of those two has to lose and we have to beat UAB.
