Honest Guesses on Tourney Odds?

Postby StallionsModelT » Thu Mar 13, 2014 2:14 pm

Pros:

4 wins against Top 25
Larry Brown
Solid RPI
Ranked for several weeks throughout the season

Cons

Total collapse down the stretch losing 3 straight
Bad losses to USF, Temple, and now UH
Mediocre (or just flat out bad) road record
Zero name pedigree or prestige


I think its 50/50 we get in. If we do I think we're an 11 seed. But that scene at Moody will be fascinating.
Back off Warchild seriously.

We've been a lock since the UConn win on the road. Seed definitely took a hit today though.

12 seed, 1-2 wins depending on match up and Kennedy's ankle

I don't know how you can say this team is a lock. We completely collapsed down the stretch and just got beat by UH in the first round of the conference tournament. I don't see this as a "lock".

How do you coach Nic Moore 0-9?

5 for 20 from the field 2nd half. We need more offensive playmakers on this team.

SMT - Normally I agree with what you post on here, both on the football and basketball boards, but this knee-jerk panic doesn't do anyone any good. This game stunk big time, and I hate the fact that we haven't won a conf tourney game since 2006, but we need to move on from this and take a long position on this team. Regardless of how the rest of this season turns out, think of what is ahead in 2014-15. This team with a year of experience under their belt, Mudiay, strong recruiting to replace outgoing players, etc.

Before today, most projections had us as a 8-9. Losing this one probably puts us as a 10-11, and a dangerous one at that.

Keep the faith and hope that a week of rest gives Kennedy and others time to get healthy.

Houston packed it in and made where we had to shoot from the outside a bit. They also got to Nic Moore and enticed him to get a tech. They had a better game plan and it it not that we should have won. We don't have many outside shooters while Houston does.
