Tulane's best win came vs. SFA (#134 on KenPom) all the way back in November. Outside of that victory, they have yet to defeat a team with a KenPom ranking of better than 200.

They allow opponents to shoot 35.6% from 3...cut to Nic/Shake/Sterling licking their chops.

USF is terrible. Probably the worst team in the conference. RPI - #270. They only have three wins this season - Albany, Savannah St and Jacksonville.

mrydel, you're probably thinking of UCF. They are pretty good.

There are no sleepers from here on out....everyone will be gunning for us as we are the only undefeated team left in the country. LB and Team will stay focused I'm sure, just win one game at a time.

I'll be very surprised if Antigua is still their HC after this season.

It's only his second year, you've got to give him time to get his own players in. Guy was a stud recruiter for UK.

Calipari and UK is a bit of a different recruiting proposition than Antigua and USF

I was not joking. I said "pretty good". They have their moments. But I did not mean to indicate they were world beaters.

Yeah. I bet recent events have ESPN regretting their game choices for Sunday afternoon.

Would it be best to call the ticket office at SMU or Stubhub for Sunday's game? Thinking about getting up Sunday and heading to NOLA.
