Great site. Interesting we went from a 34.9% chance of making the tournament last week to 48.0% this week.

Hopefully this is better than predicting point spread winners. Looked at some of its history picking games and it is about as bad as me

anyone else notice we are number 16 in the country on home team advantage power ranking!! 24 months ago could you even imagine that?

of course - a pretty small sample - but lets keep it going!!

pretty amazing difference in odds of making the tourney if you will 22 or 23. Pretty amazing jump with just that one more win.

I think 18 or 19 wins gets us to some type of post season play. 21+ get us in the tournament. 20 puts us a little past a bubble team if we can get some quality wins within those 20 wins imo.

21 is achievable - just keep up the gritty defense and get those rebounds.

Beating all the teams below us would put us 22 wins. Not saying that will happen, but that's what should happen.

Should happen on a neutral court. But home court plays a major role in college basketball

I absolutely understand that. However today should have placated most of your guys fears for road games. I'm only concerned about the Houston road game among the teams bellow us.

I am afraid of all road games really. USF was hanging with Cinn today down to the wire.
