Hope we get higher than a 10 seed. If we can finish strong I think we could be a 7 seed.

If we finish strong we would be better than a 7 seed. Our RPI is currently 14 and RPI forecasts us to end up at 18 even with 3 more regular season losses.

Yeah.

Barring any brutal losses we should end up with an RPI high enough to get a good seed.

I still don't see us losing 3 more either.

You only have 3 games remaining against teams currently in the RPI top 50, and are currently 0-4 vs Top 50 teams.

You're assuming rankings won't change. Temple will get back in the top 50. Three AAC teams are tourney bound - SMU, Cinci and Temple.

IMO, Temple is the most talented team in our conference.

Good point. It's also important to call out that 3 of those 4 games were on the road and all were without MK at full strength.

No Tulsa? They look good right now. I think we will beat them but at this point they definetly look like they are better than temple.

Tulsa will be a make or break in their last 5 or 6 games.

They are winning but I'm still not sold on them. If they best us, Cinci or Temple (at full strength) I'll be impressed.

They avoid Cincy on the road. Major plus.
