I think we wind up being just outside top 25 - like 27 or 28.

Probably drop out this week and have no shot at moving back in with the remainder of our schedule and no post-season play. We've not finished strong in the last 3 years. I can handle the Temple, UConn, and possibly Cincy losses, but the UH and especially the Tulsa losses are going to hurt.

The Kid from temple went nuts on us so I can accept that. No excuse other than just straight fatigue against Tulsa and Houston. UCONN we had a 5 minutes of couldn't buy a basket right down the stretch that cost us (but no shame to losing to a very good team on the road).

Overall I think the team is making a very steady upward progression. Last year we were never underestimated and were learning to win in crunch time. This year we are learning how to handle getting everyone's best shot as a marquee game on their schedule (we have handled that really well and honestly it's our depth that has held us back). This is a great lesson for Shake, Jarrey, Ben, Sterling, and to a lesser extent Emelogue and Semi to learn and teach to the incoming class.

Our program is FINALLY getting respect on a national level. We have a lost a game in three of the last four weeks and we are still ranked. #godfather

1. Wow
2. I agree, this is actually a sign of some national respect that we didn't fall out after a week where we lost again.
