Stallion - in defense of our fans, we don't have a ton of experience at this yet.

I think we want to win the conference, and that means I want us to win our games and our rivals to lose. Pretty simple

Tulsa will be .500 or close to it in conference when it's all said and done. Their schedule was front-loaded with cupcakes and South Florida School for the Blind. Barring disaster/injury it's us and Cincy with everybody else flirting with .500.

Clearly we want both SMU and Cincy to roll into Moody with no more losses than they have today. WE have yet to beat a top 25 team and they will be our only shot.

So what if we share the conference title and have to tie-break?

I want to see them in conference tourney finals for the rubber match. Sure, we may be dog-tired on our third game night but that's ok. Beat the best to be the best.

That's a lot of guess work. All I know is that Cincy has to lose twice for us to be in 1st. They'll still be top 25 by the time they play us

Cincy losing to Tulsa on the road wouldn't hurt that much. In fact, it might strengthen the perception of our conference since Cincy beat Xavier. That win was huge.

I have no problem sharing the conference title if it's with one loss apiece. That's some cred for both.

From what I've seen Tulsa would appear to be stronger against the teams with shorter benches. They just kept throwing fresh bodies at Memphis and wore them out down the stretch. Cincy plays much deeper down the bench and are simply much more skilled. I think that trumps home court tonight. We'll have a tougher time in Tulsa this weekend than Cincy has tonight because of the body shortage we have.


I just hope we can come off this little break playing as well as we did going into it.

Can't believe Tulsa is winning. It's going to be a tough game in Tulsa.

CINCY having a very poor offensive night. Long scoreless stretches.
