Let's finish this season off with another AAC regular season title.

Still a great goal! Conference champs!

Much harder sell. LB has his work cut out for him over the next 11 games.

Harder sell for sure but back to back conference championships and a top 10 finish. That's an impressive year under any circumstances.

Agree. Much harder sell. And who kidnapped MK and sent us that skinny guy?

How is winning a conference championship a hard sell? That still merits a banner in Moody.

Surprised people think this is a tough sell. That's the only thing they can play for and are still in good position to achieve it.
I'd be surprised if they cratered at this point.

The pressure is off. If there is another slip up, so what? Gonzaga - eh, whats that do for us?

If I were LB it would be something like "every minute on the court is a minute of game tape for pro scouts"

Not sure how it will be a hard sell. You think these guys who have bought in all year are suddenly going to quit after one loss? I'm giving them a lot more credit than that.

SMU will still be the highest ranked team in the conference and will still be leading the conference for the regular season title. Pressure for undefeated is over but we will still be the biggest game of the year for most teams.

I don't think the team will crater because the undefeated season is gone. But I think a lot of guys have been running on fumes the past few weeks, and that could really start to catch up.

I think this thing goes in one of two directions - team loosens up and starts killing teams again, or the team just runs out of gas. I don't think it will be because players just give up though. I hope that by now everyone on here realizes the amount of effort these guys put in.

Temple is the team to watch for the conference championship. Really, they only have a couple of tough games left. I think they finish conference play with 3-4 losses. Everyone else will have 5 or more. They are the team we are going to need to stay in front of.

Hella proud of the squad though!!#BounceBackTime #WinConference

...and go undefeated at home.

agreed; may need to go undefeated at home to accomplish that goal of winning the AAC regular season title. Road games at Memphis, UConn, Cincy & Houston still ahead

Temple, Tulsa, UConn and UCF all have only 2 AAC losses. Going to be a battle to win the regular season title and after their tough loss to ECU today, we can expect a fired up Memphis team Saturday
